@ ivo_gelov at gmx dot net Your implementation of Myers' algorithm is not entirely correct. The algorithm finds the end of a match, but you still need to find the start of a match. The easiest way to find the start of a match is to execute the algorithm again on the reversed string, starting at the j'th character. You can't just assume the start of the match is at j - m because you don't know whether the match is longer, shorter, or of equal length. Just my 2 cents. ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 24.174.239.115 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.levenshtein.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/73606 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73606/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73606/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73606/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73606/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73606/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73606/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73606 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/73606 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
