pspell_new() opens up a new
dictionary and returns the dictionary link identifier for use
in other pspell functions.
The language parameter is the language code which
consists of the two letter ISO 639 language code and an
optional two letter ISO 3166 country code after a dash or
underscore.
The spelling parameter is the requested spelling for
languages with more than one spelling such as English. Known
values are 'american', 'british', and 'canadian'.
The jargon parameter contains extra information to
distinguish two different words lists that have the same
language and spelling parameters.
The encoding parameter is the encoding that words are
expected to be in. Valid values are 'utf-8', 'iso8859-*',
'koi8-r', 'viscii', 'cp1252', 'machine unsigned 16', 'machine
unsigned 32'. This parameter is largely untested, so be
careful when using.
The mode parameter is the mode in which spellchecker
will work. There are several modes available:
PSPELL_FAST - Fast
mode (least number of suggestions)
PSPELL_NORMAL -
Normal mode (more suggestions)
PSPELL_BAD_SPELLERS
- Slow mode (a lot of suggestions)
PSPELL_RUN_TOGETHER
- Consider run-together words as legal compounds. That
is, "thecat" will be a legal compound, athough there
should be a space between the two words. Changing this
setting only affects the results returned by
pspell_check();
pspell_suggest() will still return
suggestions.
