PHP is a language that deserves curse. For variable names, we always have to use the $ sign. The purpose is of course to add one more thing a programmer can forget. And when you do forget, PHP treats the misnamed variable as a string which in my case causes the script to run but wrongly.

Here’s the golden bug on my script:

$mysql_db = "some_db_name";
mysql_select_db(mysql_db);

No wonder my carefully crafted INSERT query didn’t have any effect…

If you need an Indonesian word list, probably for language processing, a starting point to make your uber dictionary, or others, here it is:

indonesian_word_list.zip (103 KB, 36203 entries)

The data is from the Indonesian dictionary for OpenOffice.org, kindly provided by Benitius Brevoort. I searched for it a long time ago for my program WordFinder which is used to find suitable words for mnemonics. For English words, I could just use the regex in Stardict.

I hope you find it useful.
