[SOLVED] Select words from array and place into str_replace

[marcus]

Ok, so I am making a commenting system, and most good comment systems have a swear filter.

So I have my array of "bad" words, and I wanted to input the array into a str_replace() function.

[code]
$arra = array("words,words,words");
$mess = str_replace($arra,"<img src=images/swear.gif>",$mess);
[/code]

[alpine]

[code]
<?php

$arra = array("words","words","words");

foreach($arra as $key => $value)
{
$mess = str_replace($value, "<img src=\"images/swear.gif\">", $mess);
}

?>
[/code]

alpine fixed the original issue, which was your array() declaration (missing segregating quotes).  your original single line works fine though - str_replace() takes mixed variable types as its parameters:

[code]<?php
$arra = array('words','words','words');
$mess = str_replace($value, '<img src="images/swear.gif">', $mess);
?>[/code]

not a big change, but it reduces your line count.
