I would like a perl script converted to php, plus some bugs fixed
the script takes a .csv file of keywords and groups them according to a number of rules - trying to put each keyword in the biggest group possible
at present the front end is in php but the grouping algorithm etc is in perl - I want to convert everything to php so it can be maintained more easily.
there is a function in the perl script to unserialize - so that it can talk to the php - this can obviously be removed.
the php script should run at a similar speed to the php one.
IMPORTANT - you must be good at understanding scripts and be able to work unaided, you will need to learn what the script does based on some examples that I provide.
Clean, well commented code (in english) required. Any suggestions for improvement will be welcomed.
the bugs are:
- does not work properly with words that end in 's' - as there is an auto-join of plural groups
- grouping issue with certain topics (examples will be provided)
attachments:
specification - description of the existing tool
ipod example - a spreadsheet showing a manual example of how the grouping works.

Hi,
I have 4 years experience of Perl and PHP programming. Please, let me know if to start, or just send me a source PERL script on my E-mail or on PM.
Sincerelly
