has anyone done any Part of Speech Tagging in php?

scripts/snippets appreciated

[stargeek]

I want to use php to identify grammatical parts of speech in a body of text. But i cannot find even the most basic sample of such an application in php, has anyone else seen/written one?

haven't done that myself but I did a few searches and there seem to be a bunch of tools around, some web based. One of those may give you something to work with.

most of the cli tools i've found are for linux, which is a problem since i need to parse a large corpus of text on a windows testing server, then upload it to the production linux box. the same reason negates the use of a web based tool, since it will just take to long to query a remote service for the large amount of text I'm procesing.

this mentions some windows tools

I've tried it. the most painful part was parsing html files to be in the right format.

I used a brill tagger, from the command line using exec(""); that was pretty much the extent of PHP usage ;)

I'd planned to then lookup wordnet from the command line with the POS tags, since there would be a lot less ambiguation in the actual meaning of the word.

I acquired the brill tagger here

I see there's also a version of wordnet in XML, could be handier for simpler parsing.
