Filtering profanity

Hello, I am looking for a good php solution to filter out swear words in existing text. The text needs to be displayed edited.

Do you know any?

If you are getting it out out a db, Make a function called profanityFilter($text) { } and then inside it, do a foreach($text as $value) { } and then get from a db like while($row=mysql_fetch_array($query)) { } and inside that do: str_ireplace($row['badword'], $row['replacewith'], $value); Then it will be done.. An example is shown below:

PHP Code:

  <?php

// profanity filter

public function profanityFilter($text) {

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `wordfilter`")or die(mysql_error());

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/362165-resolved-filtering-profanity.html
str_ireplace($row['badword'], $row['replacewith'], $text);

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=362165
}

}

?>

That may not be exactly right.. but it will get you on the right tracks.

Edit, Another way:

PHP Code:

  <?php

function filter($text) {

$badwords = array('one' => '***', 'two' => '***', 'three' => '*****');

str_ireplace($badwords[0], $badwords[1], $text);}

}

?>

Second method doesn't use a db.. It's not as dynamic really..
If this helped you, Please leave rep, Thanks
