What is PHP Stemmer?
--------------------

[](#what-is-php-stemmer)

PHP Stemmer is a PHP interface to the stemming algorithms from the [Snowball project](https://snowballstem.org/), largely inspired by Richard Boulton's [PyStemmer](https://github.com/snowballstem/pystemmer). It uses FFI (ext-ffi) and expects to find the file libstemmer.so (a version of [Libstemmer](https://snowballstem.org/dist/libstemmer_c.tgz) compiled as shared library) in LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH.
In order to set up this kind of environment you can take a look at [docker-php-libstemmer](https://github.com/amaccis/docker-php-libstemmer) Dockerfile or you can use the corresponding docker image: [amaccis/php-libstemmer](https://hub.docker.com/r/amaccis/php-libstemmer)
