Definition Application

[Cormac]

I'm looking for a PHP/MySQL based script that can crawl thru a database and attach IDs to keywords, these IDs then link to a definition of that keyword. When a user then views content that is contained within the database the keyword appears as a link which when clicked pulls the definition from the db and displays it as a pop-up.

Any ideas on where to find something like this or even if it is available?

I came across something yesterday which is pretty close to what you want:

I've got it running on my blog for some phrases - try a search for "iedr" to see the deep linking module in action

interesting!

I found what i was searching for. Glossword 1.6.3

Highlights: A new installation wizard, new dictionary settings, customizable post-processing functions, support for old-fasioned 8-bit encodings (ISO-8859-8, Windows-1251), support for Unicode Normalization Form KC (in addition to Form C) in alphabetic toolbar, an updated log format, and new usability options were added.
Recommended for new users, who need a solution to publish dictionary online.

Seems to be perfect. I haven't installed it yet but it seems to be exactly what i require.

I also came across softerGlossary on my travels.
