Hi,
I'm trying to filter a word - in this case - called badword1 - to be
replaced
with asterisks.
Listed below is my .html form and .php receiving script.
I've also added the same script which gets a hardcoded string.
In the first example, the output still shows the original message _without_
replacing the badword whereas in the second example with the hardcoded
string - it is getting replaced with *****.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Tony Ritter

// example #1: in the script the text in the variable $guestbook does not
get replaced.
<?
$dirty_words = array("badword1","badword2","badword3");
$guestbook = stripslashes($message);
foreach ($dirty_words as $word){
$message = str_replace($word, "****", $guestbook);
}
echo $message;
?>
.............................
// example #2: in this snippet, the hardcoded string $guestbook gets
replaced with ****
<?
$guestbook="Boy, that Tony - he is a real badword1."
$dirty_words = array("badword1","badword2","badword3");
$message = $guestbook;
foreach ($dirty_words as $word){
$message = str_replace($word, "****", $message);
}
echo $message;
?>
