str_replace

[3raser]

				$to_censor = array("f", "a", "e", "r", "c");
				$new_censor = array("****", "****", "****", "****", "****");
				$new = str_replace($to_censor, $new_censor, $description);	

 

Is it possible to do this without having to add a new **** in $new_censor when I add another censored word in $to_censor

Yes, from the manual page:

 

"If search is an array and replace is a string, then this replacement string is used for every value of search"

 

http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php

 

All will be the same length though.  If you want to preserve length it'll be trickier.

Thanks, it worked.
