I am trying to install pspell for PHP 5 in Ubuntu. I have installed the aspell library which is required to run pspell as shown here

I am not sure if there are any settings I need to change, etc.

When I try to execute the below mentioned line of code

$pspell_link = pspell_new("en");

I get an error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function pspell_new()

Any idea on what could be wrong ?

Any help greatly appreciated.

just do 

sudo apt-get install libpspell-dev 
sudo apt-get install php5-pspell
sudo apt-get install aspell-en

then restart your apache2 server with the following command

sudo service apache2 restart

it will be added automatically to your php.ini

you can try this example
