Porters Stemming Algorithm

[Richard Hyett]

I dug out a PHP version of Porters Algorithm from
:-http://www.tartarus.org/~martin/PorterStemmer/php.txt

Whenever I try and run it I'm getting the error
"Wrong parameter count for join() "

Can anyone guess what I am doing wrong, I haven't modified the class
so I assume its the way I'm calling it.

************* code to call class *********************
<?php
require("stemming.inc");

$string="compuTing";
$string=strtolower($string);
echo $string;
$stm=new stemming();
$stm->reset();
for($i=0;$i<strlen($string);$i++)
$stm->add(substr($string,$i,1));

$stm->stem(0);
$stem = $stm->toString(); //stem of the string
echo $stem;
?>
****************** end code***************************

What version of PHP are you running? The URL you posted contains a
single-parameter usage of join; join's second parameter is only optional from
PHP 4.3.0 onwards. See the PHP manual.

Thanks Andy, that helped me sort it out. I stuck in the 'glue' parameter ""
rather than upgraded the PHP, the quickest option!
