I've got a little problem with the levenshtein function. There is a particular case where the returned value is not correct. I tried it with 4.0.6 and 4.1.2. when the differences are at the beginning, the returned value is one less than what I expected. For example : <? echo "lev = ".levenshtein("kdos", "los");?> prints lev = 1 and <? echo "lev = ".levenshtein("kdos", "ls"); ?> prints lev = 2 whereas in the first case, I expect 2 and in the second, 3. that's it. Thanx!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16672&edit=1
