Dear Friends

I am developing a movies webstie using PHP & Mysql. I want to make a flexible search system in my website. So that If a user wants to search a movie from my website, he can get it even with some spelling mistakes.

For example if I save a movie with the name "Pirates" in my database and user searches it by Entering "Piretes", He should get the movie.

What Type of code Should I Write to achieve my purpose.

Thanks SAKryukov. I have a bunch of writing on String pattern matching. This is just one of it. But I didn't felt that people (code project users) really wants it now . May be later if there is is a need for it I will post it.
