Skippy does have a point. If you still receive spam emails you'll know what he means. I must have seen 20 different ways of spelling viagra, using various accented characters etc: viagra, viagra, viiagra etc etc As for the legit words, there is the tale of Scunthorpe town council having ALL its email blocked by filtering.

Re: RE: [PHP] dirty words
What I find interesting is that you managed to use 4 variations on the word viagra, and your email still made it past my ISP's spam filters :) Keith From: Graham Cossey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2004/10/18 Mon PM 06:27:02 EDT To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] dirty words Skippy does have a point.

Re: [PHP] dirty words
Hi, I am useing file_get_contents on a remote page then using stristr() to make sure there are no bad words and its a family site. May I point out this is a lost battle from the start? If someone really wants to enter bad words they will, by masking them in various ways; humans will interpret the bad words correctly in far more cases than you can filter with software. Additionally, you will end up filtering parts of legit words that look like bad words. True, but only sites that pass the above test get added to the database on an unconfirmed state, then I personally look at the site and confirm itthe aboev is just something of a pre-screen I got it working though so this is an old problem :-) Cheers, Mag = -- - The faulty interface lies between the chair and the keyboard. - Creativity is great, but plagiarism is faster! - Smile, everyone loves a moron. :-) ___ Do you Yahoo!?

[PHP] dirty words
Hi, I am useing file_get_contents on a remote page then using stristr() to make sure there are no bad words and its a family site. Right now I am checking for just 3 bad words which means 3 stristr() function calls, but if the bad words increase then that would mean more calls I have seen some forum software before that used to take an array of bad words and check it against the post, anybody have an idea what that function would be like coz I am pretty sure I am going about this the wrong way...php has a simple solution to most of these problems...

in_array() can check your $string against a array and return if a bad word is in string Is this what you are after?

RE: [PHP] dirty words
Hey!
Thanks, I think in_array() is what I was looking for,
but by a quick glance I think its case sensitive (?),
I didnt want to use a class for this coz it kind of
seemed like using a gun instead of a flyswatter
:-)
Also, any way to check if a remote file exists?
I am presently using this:
$url='http://www.blah.net/movie.mpg';
$addy=parse_url($url);
$addy['port']=isset($addy['port'])?$addy['port']:80;
$sh=fsockopen($addy['host'],$addy['port']) or
die('cant open socket');
fputs($sh,HEAD {$addy['path']} HTTP/1.1\r\nHost:
{$addy['host']}\r\n\r\n);
while($line=fgets($sh))
if(preg_match('/^Content-Length: (d+)/',$line,$m))
$size=$m[1];
echo isset($size)?size of $url file is $size: 'no
such file: '.$url;
Thanks,
Mag
in_array() can check your $string against a array
and return if a bad word
is in string
Is this what you are after?

echo $goodString;
If you are using php5 you can use str_ireplace() for a case insensitive
search
