1. Install and use composer in your project.
2. Require this package via composer:

composer require voku/phonetic-algorithms

Usage

You the "phonetic_word"-method if you need a fuzzy-search for single words e.g. last-names or product-names.

use voku\helper\Phonetic; $words = array( 'Moelleken', 'Mölleken', 'Möleken', 'Moeleken', 'Moellecken', 'Möllecken', 'Mölecken', ); $phonetic = new Phonetic('de'); foreach ($words as $word) { $phonetic->phonetic_word($string); // '6546' }

You can use the "phonetic_sentence"-method to process sentences.

use voku\helper\Phonetic; $string = 'Ein Satz mit vielen Wortern'; $phonetic = new Phonetic('de'); $phonetic->phonetic_sentence($string, (bool) false, (false|int) false); // [ // 'Ein' => '06',  // 'Satz' => '8',  // 'mit' => '62',  // 'vielen' => '356',  // 'Wortern' => '37276' // ]

You can use the "phonetic_matches"-method to search for words in an array of words.

use voku\helper\Phonetic; $phonetic = new Phonetic('de'); $tests = array( 'Moelleken', // '6546', 'Mölleken', // '6546', 'Möleken', // '6546', 'Moeleken', // '6546', 'oder', // '027', 'was', // '38', 'Moellecken', // '6546', 'Möllecken', // '6546', 'Mölecken', // '6546', ); $phonetic->phonetic_matches('Moelleken', $tests); // [ // 'Moelleken' => 'Moelleken', // 'Mölleken' => 'Moelleken', // 'Möleken' => 'Moelleken', // 'Moeleken' => 'Moelleken', // 'Moellecken' => 'Moelleken', // 'Möllecken' => 'Moelleken', // 'Mölecken' => 'Moelleken', // ]
