This extension adds a ‎<soundex>‎</soundex> tag to enable generation of Soundex codes from within MediaWiki. It is essentially just a wrapper for PHP's built-in soundex() function.

Usage

To generate a soundex code, simply place the name between ‎<soundex>‎</soundex> tags. For instance,

<soundex>Kurt</soundex>

will generate

K630

Files

There is only one file, the one is Soundex.php. Simply create a Soundex directory in your extensions directory and place the Soundex.php file there, then add the following to your LocalSettings.php file:

require_once("extensions/Soundex/Soundex.php");
