Hi i i need to be able to get the 4 lettter soundex value for each for in a string and combine them rather than having one 4 letter soundex code for the entire string .  How would i do this?

You need to get the 4 letter soundex for each what in a string?

 

How do intend to "combine" soundexes?

 

Do you want to get an array of soundexes for each word in a string?

Hi Indeed that is what i am asking, i want the soundex for each word within the string which i will then cat together to form one new string of soundex values.  What i dont understand is how to split up the string to its component words and take the soundex of each.

PHP has a built-in soundex() function.

 

You can split text into words using something like this:

$words = preg_split('/[^a-z]+/', strtolower($text));
