There is an algorithm called Metaphone, implemented here (in C++):

http://www.marlboro.edu/~mahoney/support/alg/node132.html

This would be a great addition to PHP3, as an alternative
to Soundex() which is not nearly as accurate as Metaphone.

Although more complex than Soundex() [soundex is VERY simple], it's probably not a lot of work for someone experienced in porting C++.
