Unfortunately, the standard spelling of that particular element is "sulfur". The story goes that Britain agreed to spell sulphur as the Americans do, in exchange for America agreeing to pronounce "aluminium", not "aluminum". The Americans have failed to stick to their side of the bargain, so technically we should still be permitted to use our own version of sulphur.
Answer Sulfur isn't the "standard spelling", it's the spelling recommended by IUPAC, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, in 1990. The sulphur spelling is still acceptable for non-chemists, although from the etymology of the word, sulfur is more accurate as it's derived from Latin, not Greek, as the "ph" might suggest.
IUPAC also recommended "aluminium" as the accepted spelling/pronunciation for that element, as suggested above, it did not take off too well in USA.
