Description

function pspell_config_personal(PSpell\Config $config, string $filename): bool

Set a file that contains personal wordlist. The personal wordlist will be loaded and used in addition to the standard one after you call pspell_new_config(). The file is also the file where pspell_save_wordlist() will save personal wordlist to.

pspell_config_personal() should be used on a config before calling pspell_new_config().

filename

The personal wordlist. If the file does not exist, it will be created. The file should be writable by whoever PHP runs as (e.g. nobody).
