I think it's because, in the foreach line, you're using the same variable name ($text) as the array and the variable that each element of the array is assigned to. After the first iteration, you're overwriting the $text array with the first element of the $text array (it's like writing $text = $text[0]). Also, you changed the $text variable into an array of words, and then tried to echo it like a string in the foreach loop. You should probably have a seperate variable for the array. This code should work:

 

<?php 

$text="i said another_swear_word";

$a=array("swear_word","another_swear_word","another_another_swear_word");

$text_array=explode(' ',$text);

foreach($text_array as $word){

if(in_array("$word",$a)){

$text=eregi_replace("$word","XXX",$text);

echo $text;

}
}
?>
