RE: [PHP] Naughty Word Catcher

Will work well, I think ... plus this is on submission which makes a little discount on load times. And it is quite expandable function.

When a block of text is submitted via a web form, for it to be checked for offensive words, and rejected if there is. So I put my brain hard to work and came up with a possibly solution. I know this method should work but im wondering if I should tackle it a different way. This is just a rough, typed-off-the-top-of-my-head to show the method rather than correct code. The idea was to have a list of offensive words or phrases in a MySQL database, and the script would take the block of text, and do the following $query="select naughty_words from prude_list"; $result=mysql_query($query); while ($loop=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $naughty_word_checker = stristr("$block_of_text","$loop[naughty_words]"); if ($naughty_word_checker) { header("Location: error.php?reason=prudes_wont_like_it"); } else { header("Location: insert_stuff.php?comment=$block_of_text"); } } or is there a better, more efficient way of doing it. Im pretty sure the concept of above will work because if there is a match, stristr() should return text, otherwise it shouldnt return anything (or if im wrong, a little fine tuning will sort that out).
