A PHP Pspell substitute for Google Spell Check XML API. Pspell is required in order to work on your server.

Why?
----

[](#why)

Google obviously shut down their Spell checking API ([www.google.com/tbproxy/spell](http://www.google.com/tbproxy/spell)) on July 9th 2013, see [here](http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chat/CPb0PYllbE8). This PHP class is a PHP Pspell substitute for Google Spell Check XML API using the same XML structure.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
require_once 'spell-check-library.php';
$content = "";
$options = array(
	"lang"				=> 'en',
	"maxSuggestions"		=> 10,
	"customDict"			=> 0,
	"charset"			=> 'utf-8'
);
$factory = new SpellChecker($options);

$spell = $factory->create(trim("Ths is a tst"));

header('Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8');
echo $spell->toXML();
```

Echoes Google-style XML like this:

```

    This Th's Thus Th HS
    test tat ST St st

```

... which you can use with your existing spell checking script such as GoogieSpell that was expecting XML structured data back from Google.

Mad props to [Sabin Iacob (m0n5t3r)](http://m0n5t3r.info). Code basically from [here](http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/ajax-spell-checker/trunk/service/spell-check-library.php), but I removed the Aspell and Google API parts and made it standalone-ready.
