pspell_config_repl - Set a file that contains replacement pairs

SYNOPSIS
bool pspell_config_repl (int $dictionary_link, string $file) DESCRIPTION
Set a file that contains replacement pairs. The replacement pairs improve the quality of the spellchecker. When a word is misspelled, and a proper suggestion was not found in the list, pspell_store_replacement(3) can be used to store a replacement pair and then pspell_save_wordlist(3) to save the wordlist along with the replacement pairs. pspell_config_repl(3) should be used on a config before calling pspell_new_config(3). PARAMETERS
o $dictionary_link - o $file - The file should be writable by whoever PHP runs as (e.g. nobody). RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 pspell_config_repl(3) <?php $pspell_config = pspell_config_create("en"); pspell_config_personal($pspell_config, "/var/dictionaries/custom.pws"); pspell_config_repl($pspell_config, "/var/dictionaries/custom.repl"); $pspell_link = pspell_new_config($pspell_config); pspell_check($pspell_link, "thecat"); ?> NOTES
Note This function will not work unless you have pspell .11.2 and aspell .32.5 or later. PHP Documentation Group PSPELL_CONFIG_REPL(3)
