I have only tried with PHP8.1, but like this it runs smoothly on my system. Install the dependencies (e.g. for Ubuntu):

sudo apt install aspell
sudo apt install php8.1-pspell
sudo apt install aspell-en

or Alpine:

apk add aspell aspell-en php81-pspell

then you can run in PHP:

<?php
$pspell = \pspell_new("en", null, null, "utf-8", PSPELL_FAST);
if (!\pspell_check($pspell, $word)) {
    $suggesstion = \pspell_suggest($pspell, $word);
}

Make sure to give it your phrase word by word, it can not handle sentences or unusual sequences.
