PHP编程：php查询相似度最高的字符串的方法

PHP应用
function closest_word($input, $words) {
    $shortest = -1;
    foreach ($words as $word) {
     $lev = levenshtein($input, $word);
     if ($lev == 0) {
      $closest = $word;
      $shortest = 0;
      break;
     }
     if ($lev <= $shortest || $shortest < 0) {
      $closest = $word;
      $shortest = $lev;
     }
    }
    return $closest;
}

PHP应用
// 根据传入的州名(可能客户有输错),返回相似度最高的州名称
