phpstringcompare's Issues

bug remove_extra_spaces/remove_html_tags

hi :-)

there's a little bug in the code, line 71:

if (!empty($params['remove_extra_spaces'])) {
	$this->_remove_extra_spaces = $params['remove_html_tags'];
}

should actually be:

if (!empty($params['remove_extra_spaces'])) {
	$this->_remove_extra_spaces = $params['remove_extra_spaces'];
}

also, there's two arrays ($lang1 and $lang2) containing a list of accents of non-english languages that is unused in the code, and also incomplete (i can think of "éèêàôö" in french, "ß" in german, "ñ" in spanish, ... the list must be somewhere on internet, google knows it for sure, but a function to get them all would be a more efficient approach, and stackoverflow will have that for sure).

it's a great script otherwise, thanks for sharing it, even though it was a long time ago! ( :
