$pattern = 'foo bar';
$string  = 'fuu baz';

$damerauLevenshtein = new DamerauLevenshtein($pattern, $string);

$damerauLevenshtein->getSimilarity(); // absolute edit distance; == 3

$damerauLevenshtein->getRelativeDistance(); // relative edit distance; == 0.57142857142857

$damerauLevenshtein->getMatrix(); // get complete distance matrix
/* ==
 * [
 *   [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7],
 *   [1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6],
 *   [2,1,1,2,3,4,5,6],

 *   [6,5,5,5,4,3,2,3],
 *   [7,6,6,6,5,4,3,3],
 * ]
 */

$damerauLevenshtein->displayMatrix(); // get readable and formatted distance matrix
/*

Different costs are supported by the constructor and getters / setters.

Character comparison (equal check) can easily be overridden by parent class (see DamerauLevenshtein::compare).
