Hey guys I need help with implementing a function... The website is: http://www.undergroundcentral.us / I need the most recent searches to be filtered... I don't want porn and other words to show up on there (some people search the most bizarre thing, not everybody wants see that...). I believe that this is the function: function showhistory () { if (!($sql = mysql_query ('SELECT * FROM `general` WHERE `Name` = \'Search_Divider\''))) { exit ('<b>SQL ERROR:</b> 102, Cannot write history.'); ; } while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($sql)) { $divider = '' . $row['Value']; } if (!($sql = mysql_query ('SELECT * FROM `general` WHERE `Name` = \'History_Limit\''))) { exit ('<b>SQL ERROR:</b> 102, Cannot write history.'); ; } while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($sql)) { $history_limit = '' . $row['Value']; } if (!($sql = mysql_query ('' . 'SELECT * FROM `history` ORDER BY `ID` DESC LIMIT ' . $history_limit))) { exit ('<b>SQL ERROR:</b> 102, Cannot write history.'); ; } $return_amount = mysql_num_rows ($sql); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($sql)) { $search = '' . $row['Query']; echo '<a href="file_' . urlencode ($search) . '.html">' . urldecode ($search) . '</a>'; if ($i + 1 < $return_amount) { echo '' . ' ' . $divider . ' '; } ++$i; } PHP: How can I make it check a .txt file where I would store the banned words and filter them out before it's displayed on the main page? Thanks
Are you planning a bad word filter? I mean, a script that wont show most recent articles if they show offensive words? You can do something, I suppose you have a main php file containing the configuration, right? Create an array: $bad_words = array ('badword1','badword2','badword3'); PHP: Then you can create a simple function like this one: function isbad($text) { foreach ($bad_words as $bw) { $a = strpos(strtolower($text), strtolower($bw)); if ($a <> 0) { $ba_wo.=+1; } } if ($ba_wo == 0) { return false; } else { return true; } } PHP: if the function return false you can publish the link otherwise it's better to pass to the next one. I think it should work... (One day my english will sound like english >_< )
