Thanks very much sbirtwistle! This has nailed the problem for me too! Makes sense that it is a santisation issue now that I think of it as my dev machine was not working and had error_reporting  =  E_ALL with display_errors = On, where my production server was set to display_errors = Off.

Ok, got it all resolved. Heres what I did (just to summarize for others):

grab an updated copy of spellchecker w/ CURL:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/download … id=1510459

Afer unzipping this should give you one folder, 'Spellchecker'. Drop it in your  'jscripts/TinyMCE/Plugins/' directory. You should have this, or something close: jscripts/TinyMCE/Plugins/spellchecker

next, grab the modified copy of tinyspell.php:
http://silenceisdefeat.org/~mrrena/tinyspell.zip

Delete tinyspell.php in your jscripts/TinyMCE/Plugins/spellchecker directory.
Unzip the file you just downloaded and drop it in the same directory.

upload and enjoy!

Thanks moxie, TinyMCE is great!

I have come as far as techbinge. By activating curl in php.ini, downloadning the spellcheck plugin and replacing the tinyspell.php i can get the spellchecker to work correctly in ENGLISH. If I choose to change language into swedish, I still just get the same old "No misspellings found" message - even on http://www.tylerwanlass.com/beta/tinymce.htm.

Hi again!

Yes, I immediately had the English spellchecker working on your site but, as I mentioned, with English spellchecks only. Now I took some baby steps ahead... I had a look at the imho less complicated spellchecker GoogieSpell http://orangoo.com/labs/GoogieSpell/ to see how the spell checking was done. I realized that the requests were made to the URL https://www.google.com/tbproxy/spell?lang= followed by the approriate language code. Since this URL is put together in Javascript, the language code can easily be shifted and thus, this spellchecker handles all supported languages.

In the tinymce spellchecker plugin, however, the request URL is hard coded in the TinyGoogleSpell.class.php script (line 46). If i change the line saying

$path = "/tbproxy/spell?lang=en&hl=en";

into

$path = "/tbproxy/spell?lang=sv&hl=sv";

the spellchecker shifts from only handling English spellchecks to only handling Swedish. Unfortunately, my PHP and/or JS skills are not enough to figure out how to pass the correct language code to this class/function, but I am putting my trust in someone who can tell me how to do this.

Kind regards

EDIT: For some reason, I suddenlty realized the "cacheing" issues you mentioned earlier. Don't know if they were there all along. Why take the "detour" around CURL and tinyspell.php instead of building the Google request with Javascript, since it obviously seems to be working okay in GoogieSpell? As I said, I don't know much programming, but if someone could help me figure out how to implement a GoogieSpell plugin for tinymce, I would LOVE it! (and them? )

coffe,

it would seem thats the point though. That TinyMCE should be switching the language codes on the fly for you. It seems this functionality is broken as you can easily add more languages to the dropdown in the editor, but it doesnt actually switch for you.
You shouldnt have to code anything yourself for this. Submit  a bug report or see if its already listed.

Good luck.

Yes as of the latest release CURL is required, this is due to Google moving the spell checker over to SSL.

I'm going to throw something out there in case because I had the same problem but am using ColdFusion rather than PHP.  I'm using the Spellchecker CFM by xanadu_bj.  So just in case any CF developer is scanning this thread looking for a solution just like I was, the problem ended up being that I had the CF Debugging set to ON.  Turning off the debugger was the fix.

Later...

I went in and recompiled PHP with curl support, but all this 'fix' ended up doing for me was removing the spellcheck button completely. I guess that is one way to get rid of the problem. Is there something that needs to be configured with curl? Is it curl (or lack of) that is causing this to happen?

Hello.

I tried everything was told here... and it still doesn`t work , i still receive the same error : "Could not execute AJAX call, server didn't return valid a xml " ... what should i do ??? I tryied everything here

Here is the page where i made a test code and i`m receving the error : http://www.roboteq.com/raul/test.php

And this is the code on the page :

<center>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
tinyMCE.init({
    theme : "advanced",
    mode : "textareas",
    plugins : "spellchecker",
    theme_advanced_buttons3_add : "spellchecker",
    spellchecker_languages : "+English=en,Swedish=sv"
});
</script>
<textarea name="problema" cols="50" rows="15"></textarea>
</center>

I made the changes to the tinyspell.php file like you said... and still doesn`t work.

So.. what should i do now ?

Use fiddler to debug the spellechecker result, your getting a "Call to undefined function:  curl_init()"... so you don't have curl installed in php.

There are 2 code corrections which will resolve this issue:

in tinyspell.php:

$check = $_POST['check'];

to:

$check = urlencode($_POST['check']);

This will resolve most cases of "no misspellings", which in laguages other then English include html entities which didn't resolve correctly in the ajax call.

Second in classes/TinyGoogleSpell.class.php:

$path = "/tbproxy/spell?lang=en&hl=en";

to:

$path = "/tbproxy/spell?lang=".$this->lang."&hl=".$this->lang;

Which will use the current selected language from the editor and not use en -- English only.

Thanks Guys for a wonderful component!

On Windows servers the call to fsockopen fails because it doesn't support SSL. Changing it to this works as long as you have curl installed:

        $fp = false; /* fsockopen("ssl://" . $server, $port, $errno, $errstr, 30); */

I haven't found a way to get fsockopen and SSL on windows to work, so I'd be interested in suggestions.


After that change I encountered the same error as rfitzpat because I didn't have the mbstring extension for php installed. I solved it by changing the line he mentioned to:

            if(extension_loaded('mbstring'))
                $words[] = $this->unhtmlentities(mb_substr($wordstr, $matches[$i][1], $matches[$i][2], "UTF-8"));
            else
                $words[] = $this->unhtmlentities(substr($wordstr, $matches[$i][1], $matches[$i][2]));
