Request: Dictionary type script

[divaone]

I'm looking for a dictionary type script. This is not exactly the correct wording, but if anyone is familiar with everything2.com you'll know what I mean.

What I want is a php script that allows for news/article posting. Words within the artilces are matched against a database of words found in other articles on the site. If the words are found, they are auto-linked to other articles with the same words. Perhaps also there are links generated for 'related articles'.

BTW, the everything2 site is down right now, so I hope someone can go from memory or similar experience. I have tried a couple of glossary scripts but they do not provide the auto-linking I need.

key points: automation, flatfile dbs only

TIA!

I don't know one personally.

anyone?

Sounds like what you want is an auto generating index. Like an index in the back of a book?

I'm not sure if these are what you had in mind but go over to sourceforge and look at KeywordsGen, NML - text/technical note markup parser or maybe Domesday (Java).

I checked out all three and the first two seem to be very close to, if not right on, what I'm looking for.

KeywordsGen : "KeywordsGen is a keyword generator of webpage(s) by using PHP and MySQL. The primary purpose of KeywordsGen is to automatically generate the hyper-link to all the defined keywords on webpages and update links when pages changed."

NML : This is a parser which reads plain-text input files and generates HTML output files. It combines the presentation features of HTML with the simplicity of plain-text notes. It generates HTML index files and hyperlinks for the words you choose to index.

KeywordsGen seems to be the closest, but it requires MySQL which I do not have on my shared server space. I may, however, once again attempt to get MySQL running on my local server to test the script out.

Thank you!
