Bug #8960 Updated: Request for a more flexible Metaphone function

ID: 8960 Updated by: jimw@php.net Reported By: roy@vem.ca -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: FreeBSD PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 New Comment: the algorithm behind metaphone is specific to the english language. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-01-27 19:26:58] roy@vem.ca I would like to suggest that the Metaphone function be a little bit more flexible. I have heard (from the manual) that it is partly based on some english language rules, would it be possible to send a text-file with these configurations, and change the file in php.ini, or maybe a file which can be changed prior to compiling? Any of the two would be very useful for people in other countries... Thank you ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=8960&edit=1
