Text match library in php

Question

Is there any library in php using which I can match words like "expression" and "expresion" with some levels of confidence?

In short given a user entered word I want to match it with the 1000 words I've in the list and find the closest match with an indication of how close it is.

Have you tried the similar_text() function?

What about soundex and levenshtein functions? – user774250 Feb 17 '12 at 17:00
Both of those functions can compliment the similar_text function in trying to find possible matches. – davidethell Feb 18 '12 at 10:17
