README

Minimal PECL-style scaffold for a Snowball (libstemmer) extension with vendored sources.

Install using PIE

From sources

pie install --with-snowball

From Packagist

pie install coral-media/php-snowball --with-snowball

Further info PIE official repository

Build (from source)

phpize
./configure --with-snowball
make -j"$(nproc)"
make install

Usage

Basic stemming (defaults to English + UTF_8):

<?php
echo snowball_stem('running'); // run

Explicit language + encoding:

<?php
echo snowball_stem('corriendo', SNOWBALL_LANG_ES, SNOWBALL_ENCODING_UTF_8); // corr

Notes

  • Vendored libstemmer sources live under lib/libstemmer.
  • If PIE install or building from source fails with 'make' '-j10'" failed try --make-parallel-jobs 1. Same procedure with make -j if building from sources. Adjust to any convenient value.
