Out of Control :laravel: 🇨🇦<p>Needed to do some fuzzy matches in <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/Laravel" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Laravel</span></a> with a 5000+ row array to account for differently spelled company names across two APIs. Played with <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/Levenshtein" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Levenshtein</span></a>, <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/SoundEx" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SoundEx</span></a> and <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/similar_text" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>similar_text</span></a> in <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/PHP" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PHP</span></a>. Found similar_text worked best by far for this perhaps. Ended up using array_walk to accomplish this with ease. Would love to hear others experiences in doing fuzzy matches between arrays.</p>
