Finding variations on a surname
Here's a little demonstration of how you can use PHP to look for a 'similar word' - in this case, from a file of surnames. Have I done all the hard work? No - I crawled for some surnames to add to my demonstration file, and I used PHP's built in functions to do the hard work!  Run Demonstration or see program code. Try it with London, Ellis, Johnstone, Smith and Briscoe. Learn how to do it on a PHP Techniques Workshop (written 2009-02-17, updated 2009-08-31) Associated topics are indexed as below, or enter http://melksh.am/nnnn for individual articles G996 - Well House Consultants - Newsletter Scripts[3179] Oops - I typed ci not vi, and have lost my file ... - (2011-02-21) [2539] Changing Images - (2009-12-17) [2433] Controlling, supressing, enabling PHP error messages - (2009-10-02) [2360] Error Handling in Lua with assert and pcall - (2009-08-13) [2259] Grouping rows for a summary report - MySQL and PHP - (2009-06-27) [2145] Using the internet to remotely check for power failure at home (PHP) - (2009-04-29) [1954] mod_rewrite for newcomers - (2008-12-20) [1813] Ajax - going Asyncronous and what it means - (2008-09-28) [1743] First class functions in Lua lead to powerful OO facilities - (2008-08-07) [1665] Factory method example - Perl - (2008-06-04) [1601] Replacing the last comma with an and - (2008-04-04) [1505] Script to present commonly used images - PHP - (2008-01-13) [1487] Efficient PHP applications - framework and example - (2007-12-28) [1387] Error logging to file not browser in PHP - (2007-10-11) [1321] Resetting session based tests in PHP - (2007-08-26) [1217] What are factory and singleton classes? - (2007-06-04) [1123] mysqldump and mysqlrestore - (2007-03-30) [1066] Final, Finally and Finalize - three special words in Java - (2007-02-05) [1001] .pdf files - upload via PHP, store in MySQL, retrieve - (2006-12-19) H110 - PHP - HTML Web Page Data Handling [3926] Filtering PHP form inputs - three ways, but which should you use? - (2012-11-18) [3036] Sending out an email containing HTML from within a PHP page - (2010-11-07) [2135] What features does this visitors browser support?
