godrob Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hi guys, I'm new to PHP so please be gentle I have a PHP Chat Room Script that works really well. However, what I need to be able to do is stop/prevent users from posting their email addresses. I've been using the following code to mask the @ with ***** However this isn't really good enough, and I need a way to replace the entire email address. $message = ereg_replace ("@", "*****", $message); Can I use something like the above to mask all email addresses from posts? Thanks in advance for any help Regards Rob Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/94225-removal-of-email-addresses-from-post/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccabe Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I am not a php expert so you are better waiting for someone else to answer, but I think you would want some sort of regex to do it! Or you could try what you have suggested, but I think you need wildcards either side of the @, ie: *@* Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/94225-removal-of-email-addresses-from-post/#findComment-482647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
