The problem with scripts like these is there is so many variables to deal with. First, this doesn't deal with uppercase. So a word like bAdWoRd would not get detected, or a word beginning a sentence. Also, a word within a word like wordbadwordword would not be detected, and I'm sure there are more I haven't discovered yet. I haven't had much time to play around with it since earlier today, so I haven't experimented with it, but ideas are welcome.

I made some changes to the script from Butera. Now it only replaces complete words. $dirty = array( 'ipsum', 'eloquentiam', 'Vero' ); foreach ($dirty as $key => $word) { $dirty[$key] = '/\b'. $word . '\b/'; } $string = "Lorem ipsum ius no etiam veniam, usu alii novum ne, sed cu molestiae eloquentiam. Vero invenire philosophia est ne, quo nemore timeam an."; $clean = preg_replace($dirty, '*', $string); echo "<br>string: ". $string; echo "<br>clean: ". $clean; On 9/13/06, Beauford <php-user@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > There ya go.
