Spell Checking Against Words in Database
Please support our PHP advertiser: PostgreSQL or MySQL? Compare and contrast the two most popular open source databases

Hi all,
I am currently writing a spell checker that needs to suggest corrections for a mis-spelled Suburb/Locality in a Post Code/Zip Code lookup site. All of the suburb names are stored in a database in the Postcodes table and I was wondering if I could use the Pspell library to do the spell check / suggestion based upon the entries in that table? From the examples I have seen, the library makes use of a dictionary file to compare words to, can it be used to compare to a result set from a database?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
darkagn

There are no stupid questions, only those too stupid to ask for help.
