Hi. I'm building a similar filter right now. It's relatively simple.
<?
//$comments = the comment field that you're filtering
$word_list = "word1,word2,word3,word4"; //The list of unacceptable words
$replace_list = "*****,*****,*****,*****"; //The list of words to replace ...
could be anything you prefer
$words = explode(",", $word_list); //Creates an array of the words ... not
necessary but I prefer working with arrays instead of lists.
$replacements = explode(",", $replace_list);
for($wc=0; $wc<count($words); $wc++){
str_replace($words[$wc], $replacements[$wc], $comments); //Substitute the "*"
with whatever character you prefer.
}
?>
If you were using PHP4, then it would be even easier ...
str_replace($words[$wc],str_repeat("*", strlen($words[$wc])), $comments)
