According to the rules posted for metaphone, T before CH is silent, so the result should be "SKRX". My Javascript metaphone function gets this right and I need the two to match up! Reproduce code: --------------- <?php echo metaphone("scratch"); ?> Expected result: ---------------- SKRX Actual result: -------------- SKRTX ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47443&edit=1
