Algorithms for string similarities (better than Levenshtein, and similar_text)? Php, Js
<p>Where can I find algorithms that values the spelling of misplaced characters more accurately than levenshtein() and php similar_text() methods?</p>

<p>Example:</p>

<pre><code>similar_text('jonas', 'xxjon', $similar); echo $similar; // returns 60
similar_text('jonas', 'asjon', $similar); echo $similar; // returns 60 &lt;- although more similar!
echo levenshtein('jonas', 'xxjon'); // returns 4
echo levenshtein('jonas', 'asjon'); // returns 4  &lt;- although more similar!
</code></pre>
