php script to find synonyms

Question

Im writing a php script to compare the similarity of 2 strings. This works pretty good at the moment, but what I would like to do is match words when one is a synonym of the first.

Any thoughts?

You might want to try looking for a thesaurus service that allows you to query the synonyms for a word and have it return an XML list of synonyms.
