Hej,
why not do a simple strlen() before comparison?
Like if strlen (or mb_strlen()) is less than 50 do not serialize/
compare.
Or Like levenchtein(), You could do :
<?php
(strlen($string2) - similar_text($string,$string2))
?>
to see how much characters have been changed.
Thank you for your respons.
I have thought of such a sorting mechanism too. But on the other hand,
the biggest drawback would be that even minor changes that might be
really important could get lost. And my goal is to really keep track
on everything my users do. And, in the long run, the problem with the
database that eventually could/will grow very large in size, is not
solved.
