$word = strtolower($_GET['term']);
$lev = 0;
$q = mysql_uqery("SELECT `term` FROM `words`");
while($r = mysql_fetch_assoc($q))
{
$r['term'] = strtolower($r['term']);
$lev = levenshtein($word, $r['term']);
if($lev >= 0 && $lev < 5)
{
$word = $r['term'];
}
}
how can I move all that into just one query? don't want to have to query through all terms and do the filtering in php.
