Bug description:  metaphone function returns incorrect results

Description:
------------
Hello and thanks for taking the time to read this. You guys (and gals) are
really appriciated.

This bug has to do with the metaphone function. This function turns a word
into string that represents the sound of the word.

I was recently required to write a VB version of this function because
none existed and so I translated the original Basic version of this
function written around 1990.

I wanted to check my code so I compared about 10,000 words produced by my
VB code to the output of PHP and I found 4 bugs in your code. The output
of the PHP function does not match what the output of the above algotythm
states. 

1: Words with GH
2: words with MB. The B is silent at the end of a word "dumb" but not in
the middle "camber"
3: words with GN
4 words with CIA


Thanks
Travis Apple
