In case anyone wonders, I ended up recompiling php with the pspell and
aspell functions. These functions will return pluralized versions of words,
along with possible spellings. I will probably try to customize the
dictionary that comes with the programs, but other that that it appears to
be what I am looking for.
Thanks for your help.

Has anyone every written a function in php to pluralize an english word,
particularly when searching a database?
function pluralize($word){
return array of pluralized words;
}
Any help would be appreciated. Seems like their might be a nice regex
waiting to handle this? Thanks!
