Would this function do the trick? <?php // validate.php - functions that validates form input function validate_string($unsafe_string) { // create array containing bad words $badwords = array(";","--","select","drop","insert","xp_","delete"); $goodwords = array(":","---","choose","leave","add"," ","remove"); // check for occurences of $badwords for($i=0; $i<7; $i++) { $unsafe_string = str_replace("$badwords[$i]", "$goodwords[$i]","$unsafe_string"); } $unsafe_string = AddSlashes($unsafe_string); $unsafe_string = trim($unsafe_string); $safe_string = $unsafe_string; Return $safe_string; } ?> Br, Anders
