   (PHP 4 )
   metaphone -- Calculate the metaphone key of a string

Description

   string metaphone ( string str)

   Calculates the metaphone key of str.

   Similar to soundex() metaphone creates the same key for similar
   sounding words. It's more accurate than soundex() as it knows the
   basic rules of English pronunciation. The metaphone generated keys are
   of variable length.

   Metaphone was developed by Lawrence Philips <lphilips at verity dot
   com>. It is described in ["Practical Algorithms for Programmers",
   Binstock & Rex, Addison Wesley, 1995].
