use only this http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.similar-text.php this is what you need.

$var_1 = 'PHP IS GREAT'; 
$var_2 = 'WITH MYSQL'; 

similar_text($var_1, $var_2, $percent); 

echo $percent; 
// 27.272727272727 

live example of your code http://codepad.viper-7.com/nyHukz

$var_1 = 'michael smith'; 
$var_2 = 'michael nick smith'; 

similar_text($var_1, $var_2, $percent); 

echo $percent; 
//83.870967741935
