Lemmatization is relatively complicated compared to what is happening, therefore it is more difficult to find some ready-made and free solution.
I see no one answered an additional question.
use lemmatizer somehow in another language (e.g. python NLTK?) in PHP webapp
php has at least exec and makes the same calls. You can simply run any external script or application.
there are some “lemmatizers” in php that can be found on the Internet, but with a quick check they turn into “stem” ones.
Make sure Stemming doesn't do it for you. Make sure that the solution that you already have in mind in another language is Lemmatizer.
I suspect that all solutions close to this name will be in C-type languages. In case they are Open Source or presented as libs, you can create them in PHP as an extension.
