This module queries Google's search engine for each search request to implement a "Did you mean ...?" function for the Phorum search pages. This will suggest alternative spellings for words that are possibly misspelled in the search query.

To be able to query the Google web site, PHP must be configured to allow opening of URLs for file reading commands. This means that the php.ini option "allow_url_fopen" must be set to 1. If this option is disabled, then this module will not work.

Changelog:
----------

2016-08-31 v1.0.3 by Oliver Riesen-Mallmann <oliver@riesen.org>

    - Made XHTML 1.0 Transitional compliant.

2011-01-09 v1.0.2

    - Fixed the module to work with the latest Google pages.

    - Switched to using the HTTP GET Phorum API code for better compatibility.

    - Added new German language files. Thanks to Oliver Riesen!

2007-10-22 v1.0.1

    - Fixed a small bug which sneaked into the v1.0.0 code right before

    - Initial release

Hi Maurice,

current version 1.0.1 doesn't work any longer. Goggle changed his markup and delivers now in utf-8.

I did the following changes to get it work:

settings.php (just an additional space in search pattern):

Language: PHP
19c19
<     if (preg_match_all(';/<option value=\"lang_(\w+)\">([^<>]+)/';, $page, $m)) {
---
>     if (preg_match_all(';/<option value=\"lang_(\w+)\" >([^<>]+)/';, $page, $m)) {

search_spelling.php:

22c22
<     $page = file_get_contents($url);
---
>     $page = utf8_encode(file_get_contents($url));
27c27
<     if (preg_match('/: *<\/font><a href=[^>]+&spell=1[^>]*>(.+?)<\/a>/i', $page, $m)) {
---
>     if (preg_match('/: *<\/span><a href=[^>]+&amp;spell=1[^>]*>(.+?)<\/a>/i', $page, $m)) {

Regards
Oliver
