file array

[themoose]

how do I make a file where each line is part of an array.
basically so i can do something this:

$filtered = str_replace($foul, "", $fullabrv);

You have to do a while statement to get the files first, (can view one of those at http://www.php.net 's online documentation (search for: readdir function).) then try and get this.

[BeIIy]

$badwords = file("./badwords.txt");
foreach($badwords as $badword) {
  $filterthis = eregi_replace($badword, "", $filterthis);
}

change eregi_replace to str_replace if you want it to be case-sensitive

great, thanks BeIIy!!

You could do what BeIIy did but here is what I did.
[php]
<?php
include("config.php");
global $text;
$text = str_replace("word", "**it", $text);
$text = str_replace("word", "**ck", $text);
$text = str_replace("word", "****er****er", $text);
?>[/code]

I named that file filter.php so what you do is when you have the user post, just include filter.php and when they post the file or whatever you want to have filtered, have a field that is the message that they're posting <input type="text" name=text> the query would be like

mysql_query("INSERT INTO table_name (blah, blah1, blah2, text) VALUES ('$blah', '$blah1', '$blah2', '$text')");

Than in the database it'll replace whatever is in the textfield with what you set it to in the filter.php file.

just got the time to try BeIIy's code out and it doesnt work

$badwords = file("./includes/bad.txt");
foreach($badwords as $badword) {
$fullabrv = eregi_replace($badword, "", $fullabrv);
} 

and stuffradio, thanks but thats not what i wanted. I wanted it to get each line of a file and put it into an array.

Whoops. I forgot that it leaves the linebreak characters on each line.

$badwords = file("./badwords.txt");
foreach($badwords as $badword) {
  $word = str_replace("\r","",str_replace("\n","",$badword));
  $filterthis = eregi_replace($word, "", $filterthis);
}

That should work. lol

}

yep, that works. thanks loads

One more thing if you dont mind

how do i replace them with asterix's (like the f word would be replaced with ****, the b word would be replaced with *****)?

[BeIIy]

$badwords = file("./badwords.txt");
foreach($badwords as $badword) {
  $word = str_replace("\r","",str_replace("\n","",$badword));
  $stars = "";
  for ($i = 1; $i <= strlen($word); $i++) { $stars .= "*"; }
  $filterthis = eregi_replace($word, $stars, $filterthis);
}

works like a charm BeIIy really appreciated
