PHP operates strings and arrays to implement similarity algorithm

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;
}

// 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
$united_state_list = array(
