Re: Form Data Filtering

if (in_array(strtolower($value), $profanity)) { $profanity[$field] = "bad"; } on php.net I haven't seen any example on using strtolower w/ arrays. I tried this an I get the following output: Please REMOVE the profanity in the following fields. Immediately! Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in C:\htdocs\Sweepstakes\sosValidate.php on line 114 Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in C:\htdocs\Sweepstakes\sosValidate.php on line 114 Notice: Undefined offset: 2 in C:\htdocs\Sweepstakes\sosValidate.php on line 114 Notice: Undefined offset: 3 in C:\htdocs\Sweepstakes\sosValidate.php on line 114 ...etc. I also tried (in_array(strtolower($_POST[$value]), $profanity)) same result.
