Bug #17617: levenshtein() param for faster return

From: gonfidentschal@hotmail.com Operating system: all PHP version: 4.1.2 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: levenshtein() param for faster return in my case, i want to find strings that are similar to a given one. so a lev() return of >2 means i throw that string away. maybe another param to levenshtein() could help speed up the function, in that it could return when the 3rd mismatch was found. it would not have to do it's job to the end. anyway, i'm surprised how fast it is already. :) greetings fab -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17617&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17617&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17617&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17617&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17617&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17617&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17617&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17617&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17617&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17617&r=globals
