ps_hyphenate — Hyphenates a word
Hyphenates the passed word. ps_hyphenate() evaluates the value hyphenminchars (set by ps_set_value()) and the parameter hyphendict (set by ps_set_parameter()). hyphendict must be set before calling this function.
This function requires the locale category LC_CTYPE to be set properly.
This is done when the extension is initialized by using the environment
variables. On Unix systems read the man page of locale for more information.
psdocResource identifier of the postscript file as returned by ps_new().
text
text should not contain any non alpha
characters. Possible positions for breaks are returned in an array of
interger numbers. Each number is the position of the char in
text after which a hyphenation can take place.
An array of integers indicating the position of possible breaks in
the text or false on failure.

$word = "Koordinatensystem";
$psdoc = ps_new();
ps_set_parameter($psdoc, "hyphendict", "hyph_de.dic");
$hyphens = ps_hyphenate($psdoc, $word);
for($i=0; $i<strlen($word); $i++) {
echo $word[$i];
if(in_array($i, $hyphens))
echo "-";
}
ps_delete($psdoc);
?>The above example will output:
