David.Dict

Proposal
I wanted to train a language. I was fed up with using this card like my grand mother did. So i wrote this script.

Requirements
- Apache (the Apache Software Foundation) or any Webserver else
- PHP4 (Hypertext Preprocessor)
- MySql (The World's Most Popular Open Source Database)

Functionality
You can create a new table for every languages. the bad thing is that you have to enter the words. You can enter idioms or just words. You can have as many languages as you like, up to your discspace.
You add a new word in two different languages.
Example:
1. created for languages (German, English, French and Portugues).
2. enter "house" in English and "Haus" in German.
3. enter "mainson" in French and "casa" in Portugues
4. ask in English "house" for Portugues --> you will not get a result yet
5. enter "Haus" in German and "mainson" in French
6. ask in English "house" for Portugues --> you will get the result "casa"
Propably you will not understand what i'm talking about, so check out this working demo version. The discspace is limited on this server, so you are not able to create a new language.
You can work with this script on this page, because many user make the dictionairy very fast very huge.
Last but not least, the script generates a db-dump to back up the dictionairy.

ToDo
- script to import or append a db-dump
- script to conjucated regular verbs, iregular as well
- script to support languages-rules, like write every first letter of substantiv with capital letter in German
