Help with creating suggestions for a search box

[proud]

I created a library management system using PHP.. Now, I want to create a search box in my system so that I can search for books by title, author.. What I want to do is to create a suggestions for my search box in case someone submitted a wrong value..  like for example if he entered anstein for the book author, it should provide him with something like:

Did you mean einstein? It's similar to what you find in answers.com, wikipedia etc..

 

Any idea how I could do something like that?

Have a read of this

levenshtein()

Its a very nifty function for doing just that.. And as for the array of words it will search against you can create that using specific words in your database

I think you are refering to soundex()

 

There are a few other you can use like similar_text()
