# metaphone

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

metaphone — Calculate the metaphone key of a string

### Opis

string metaphone ( string `$str` [, int `$phonemes` = 0 ] )

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].

### Parametry

`str`

  The input string.

`phonemes`

  This parameter restricts the returned metaphone key to `phonemes` characters in length. The default value of 0 means no restriction.

### Zwracane wartości

Returns the metaphone key as a string, lub `FALSE` w przypadku błędu.

### Przykłady

Przykład #1 metaphone() basic example

`<?php
var_dump(metaphone('programming'));
var_dump(metaphone('programmer'));
?>`

Powyższy przykład wyświetli coś podobnego do:

    string(7) "PRKRMNK"
    string(6) "PRKRMR"

Przykład #2 Using the `phonemes` parameter

`<?php
var_dump(metaphone('programming', 5));
var_dump(metaphone('programmer', 5));
?>`

Powyższy przykład wyświetli coś podobnego do:

    string(5) "PRKRM"
    string(5) "PRKRM"
