corbin Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 When you run that, you'll notice that in certain situations.... like harrassment it might become harr****mess. You could always just do ' word ' instead of 'word' though..... Oh.... Then you could have problems with 'ass.' or 'ass!' for example.... hmmm.... Edit: You could use regular expression word boundries I guess...... <?php $str = "ass harrass."; $bad = array('ass'); foreach($bad as $k => $word) { $bad[$k] = '/\b' . $word . '\b/'; } echo preg_replace($bad, '****', $str); //**** harrass ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/95121-censoring-comments/#findComment-487309 Share on other sites More sharing options...

aximbigfan Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Why not just add a space around " ass "? Chris Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/95121-censoring-comments/#findComment-487335 Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 "You're an ass." Haha sorry.... I love irony. In that case for example, ass wouldn't be replaced. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/95121-censoring-comments/#findComment-487337 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aximbigfan Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Good point. Hmm..... Maybe changing it so to if punctuation/spaces marks surround "ass" on one or both sides?

aximbigfan Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 $pad; $pad[0] = " "; $pad[1] = "\""; $pad[2] = "'"; ect... and then add $pad on each side of the bad words var in the replace function, I guess.
