In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a censor script to block people from posting nasty content on your website.

First, you will start off with creating the database:

CREATE TABLE `censor` (

`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,

`bword` varchar(30) NOT NULL default '',

`gword` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',

PRIMARY KEY (`id`)

) TYPE=MyISAM;

This will create our table in the phpmyadmin database.

Next, I will supply u with two lines of code to add to the table to start off with:

INSERT INTO `censor` (`id`, `bword`, `gword`) VALUES (NULL, '69', '**'), (NULL, 'shit', '****');

INSERT INTO `censor` (`id`, `bword`, `gword`) VALUES (NULL, 'bitch', '*****');

INSERT INTO `censor` (`id`, `bword`, `gword`) VALUES (NULL, 'dick', '****');

Sorry for the words but this should help you out to begin with.

Lastly, you will create a page called 'censor.php' and then include this page within the page of which you want to use it on.

Include on a page:

<?php

include("censor.php");

?>

Page coding (with comments):

<? 

include("config.php"); // includes the config page



function censor($content){ // creates the function

$content = nl2br(htmlspecialchars($content)); // creates that message that we put the censor in



$get1 = mysql_query("select * from censor"); // selects the words from the database

while($block = mysql_fetch_array($get1)) // creates while which repeats the codin making it check all works in the database

{ 

$content = str_replace($block[bword], $block[gword], $content); // replaces all bad words with good words  tags 

} 

return nl2br($content); 

} 

?>

If this tut is not well commented or you are having problems with it, please contact me and i would be glad to help you. I also ensure you that this code was created by me and is not stolen from another website.

Enjoy!
