3d bin packing

This is something thats been giving me headaches trying to figure out.

Say you have a set of any number of boxes of any size and a second set of boxes of any size.

How could you find the smallest box from set two that you could fit all the boxes from set one into? This is for a shipping application.

Can any of you figure this out? I've had trouble sleeping trying to figure it out. Google has only taught me that this type of problem is called three dimensional bin packing. I havn't been able to find anything useful. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

PHP code a big plus.
