LiquidMetal
===========

[](#liquidmetal)

**This is a PHP port of [rmm5t/liquidmetal](http://github.com/rmm5t/liquidmetal):**

“A mimetic poly-alloy of the Quicksilver scoring algorithm, essentially LiquidMetal. ``”

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

If not using Composer's autoloader, include the library:

```
include 'LiquidMetal.php';

```

Score any string against an abbreviation:

```
LiquidMetal::score("FooBar",  "foo");   //=> 0.950
LiquidMetal::score("FooBar",  "fb");    //=> 0.917
LiquidMetal::score("Foo Bar", "fb");    //=> 0.929
LiquidMetal::score("Foo Bar", "baz");   //=> 0.0
LiquidMetal::score("Foo Bar", "");      //=> 0.8

```

All scores fall between a range of 0.0 (no match) to 1.0 (perfect match).
