PHP Summarizer

It seems there was a bug with some UTF-8 characters when they were converted to HTML - for example é is translated into é - and they were stripped wrong by the summarizing script.

I will make a new release for this bug fix soon. It's been updated on the demo page, so you can check that out.

Yes, it uses UTF8 encoding so it works with foreign characters as well. You can test it yourself using the demo: http://www.tools4noobs.com/summarize/

Please note the common words are stripped for more accuracy, however those words are for English in the demo (it can be customized though).

Hi,

Do You think that I can exclude the word foreigners (à, où...) ?

Thank You for your assistance.

Hello Mick,

Sure, you can exclude any words you consider non relevant.

All you need to do is to open the file library/skip.txt and add them each on a new line.

For example:

...
were
said
à
où

Thank You for your answer!

Do You have examples?

I tested:
$summarizer = new Summarizer($first_best);
$summarizer->loadUrl($url);
$summary = $summarizer->run();
print_r($summary);

...but, that does not function.

Thanks again!

Mick

You have full working examples in the tests/ folder.

Also, some simple examples are presented on the Binpress page: http://www.binpress.com/app/php-summarizer/87#documentation

You will probably need something like:

require_once('/path/to/Summarizer.php');

$url = 'http://edition.cnn.com/2011/LIVING/02/07/russell.simmons.super.rich/index.html?hpt=C2';
$summarizer = new Summarizer();
$summarizer->loadUrl($url);
$summary = $summarizer->run();
print_r($summary);

Thank You.

In Fact, I would like to obtain the lites of the best words.

Is It possible?

Your example gives only the summary.

Mick

Oops! I did not read the file readme.txt.

I read only the file documentation.txt.

Excuse me!
