How would I do this

[marcus]

I am trying to make a contact thing, that just simply puts a row in a database, but how would I go upon checking if the message included swears?

Say if I had an array of words that I didn't want the person to send and check if the message included any of those

[freeloader]

[code]
$a=preg_match_all("/\b(example|example2|example3|example4)\b.*/i",$post,$b);
if($a){
// block post or whatever
}
[/code]

sufficient? =)

[b]edit by neylitalo:[/b] The examples need not be the actual words. :)

Could this be done with str_replace? If ($a <$a being str_replace($swears,"",$message)){ echo "bad word" }

??

or

[code]
$badwords = array('badword1','badword2','badword3');

$needle = 'blah';
if (in_array($needle,$badwords)) {
  // badword found code
} else {
  // badword not found code
}
[/code]
