Simple and easy, stop most of the nasty words from appearing on your website or blog with one simple function. This has stemmed from multiple users posting profanity on another one of our sites. After searching far and wide for an easy solution, alas we could not find one. This resulted in a few hours behind the keyboard plucking away with some trial and error, the end result is a lightweight function that works great.
The hardest part about developing a function that would detect profanity was accounting for the special characters being used as letters. Like the “#” being used for a “H” or a “$” for a “S”. The solution to detect the special characters was rather simple once we figured out a good method. Now, in it’s entirety, it will stop most profanity and if any gets through it is very easy to modify it for additional characters and words.
