Your word list would have to allow certain words that could be used in genuine text. Other words which I wont post here would never be used in general conversation ;) unless the general was in the heat of combat, there the implied language would probably be justified. :- Please keep me asandwich of the events as they transpire. This one wouldn't happen due to the stop words regexp. The added bonus is that you can flip the key/values in your array and turn perfectly nice sentences into torrents of abuse ;) Sandy was a golden felcher ^-- this 'e' shouldn't be there according to the amp given above. which means Sandy is not only on the cutting edge of porn, but also web2.0 ready :-P [think flickr] ... which begs the question of what to do with multilingual situations. one languages' mundane word can be another's rudest addition (dutch has a phonetically indentical word for 'flicker' which has altogether different connotations than it does in english) maybe we should all just shut the up on a global level ... it is said that silence is golden (which is a condrum of itself, what with it be said and all) Exactly!

:O Bad Word :P Anyway, I would think that there should be some sort of library already out there that has this functionality.

RE: [PHP] Re: Swear filter ideas
This problem has been arround since the internet started. rant problem? They're just words! Not sure why some people are so offended by them? My parents have even purchased a little device that sits between their TV and DVD/VHS and bleeps out bad words. And they're in their 60's and have no kids at home. It's certainly not kids/children who are offended. They're probably the ones saying these words the most and writing them the most in your forum/blog/whatever you're trying to protect. If it's adults, then I'm sure it's nothing they've not heard before. It just seems like a lot of work for little payoff and something that will NEVER be accurate. If someone is that easily offended, then perhaps they need to get out into the real world once and a while. It seems to me also, you have liability issues. If you have some filter mode, then what happens when a word gets through? Are you to blame for offending some poor child/adults sensitive ears/eyes? A simple age-check or disclaimer indicating you're not responsible for the content of your posters comments seems more safe. But that's just my opinion. /rant -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
