But when it is done right you will have a website that looks more like the others.

Created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1995 to develope dynamic web pages. Now millions of webmasters have learned and created websites with this language. There is no reason why you can’t do the same.

Is it possible to spell check texts from php?

Aug 11

Posted by Subrata in PHP | No Comments

Yes as most other things spell checking is also possible from php, to do so you need to compile / activate the pspell/aspell lib. For an example of using the pspell lib from php read this article from zend http://www.zend.com/zend/spotlight/spellchecking.php

Although the pspell/aspell lib’s need installing on the server only –with-pspell needs to be added to the PHP configuration.

The following code seems to work :-


<?
// /home/username/dict/ Must be world read/write
//
$pspell_link = pspell_new_personal ("/home/username/dict/custom.pws", "en", "", "", "", PSPELL_FAST|PSPELL_RUN_TOGETHER);
$word = "spelllng";

echo “The word ’$word’ was not spelled correctly<P>”;

echo “Possible correct spellings are: <BR>”;
$suggestions = pspell_suggest ($pspell_link, $word);
for ($i=0; $i < count ($suggestions); $i++)
{
echo “Possible spelling: ” . $suggestions[$i] . “<br>”;
}

echo “<BR>”;
?>

Aug 10

Posted by Subrata in Google, PHP | No Comments

Google sends many visitors to your site, if you want to get the keywords they used to come to your site -

// take the referer
$thereferer = strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
// see if it comes from google
if ( strpos($thereferer, “google”) ) {
// delete all before q=
$a = substr($thereferer, strpos($thereferer, “q=”));
// delete q=
$a = substr($a, 2);
// delete all FROM the next & onwards
if ( strpos($a, “&”) ) {
$a = substr($a, 0, strpos($a, “&”));
}
// we have the results.
$mygooglekeyword = urldecode($a);
}
print $mygooglekeyword;
