How would I do this?

[marcus]

Say I have an array of words that I didn't want the user to submit, and if they did submit one of the words it would submit completely, a message would come up saying that they said one of the words.

really? then what?

Can you give us an idea of your level of php experience?  And more detail about what you're doing?  For example, are you using a forum package?

I stated that wrong.

How would I be able to create a document that checks if the user submitted a word that was in an array. If they did submit a word it would come up with a message saying like "blah blah blah bad word." And if no word from the array was found it would complete the task.

Something like:

[code]
<?php
$mesg = $_POST[message];
$array = array("words,that,the,user,cannot,submit");

if($mesg == $array){
echo "bad word";
}else {
echo "fine statement";
};
?>
[/code]

something like that, but how would I make it to check if $mesg included any of the words in $array

This seems to be a popular topic today - matching variables in an array.

try reading up on http://us3.php.net/str_replace

and if it's not to your liking then, http://us3.php.net/ereg_replace

Well, I don't want to replace any words.

Look at the way fert did it in the post I linked to.

It doesn't replace words.
