making a list to ban Guest Book entries.
am 15.06.2006 15:35:44 von joboils
Hello. I am trying to write a code to filter entries (porn and
medical, etc) in my guest book. The words will come in the $comments
field.
This is the file that handles the data coming from the guestbook.php
screen. I don't know how to make it work properly. Any help would be
appreciated. Thank you.
$TableName="banned_words";
$Query="SELECT * FROM $TableName";
$Result=mysql_db_query ($DBName, $Query, $Link);
while ($Row=mysql_fetch_array ($Result))
{
$banned_words[]=$Row[banned_word];
}
$banned_word_count=count($banned_words);
$i=0;
// now loop through the list of banned words ;
for ($i=0; $i<=$banned_word_count; $i++)
{
// to check if the banned word is in the comments ;
if (strstr($banned_words[$i], $comments) !=0)
{
header("location:guestbook.php");
exit();
}
}

No, I'm not trying to replace anything. If a $comments coing in fro
the public Guest Book screen contains any banned word, I want the
script to ignore it totally.
Is there anything actually wrong with my code?
