PHP Replacing swear words with phrases

Question

So I get how to replace certain words with other ones. What I\'m trying to figure out is how to take a word and replace it with a phrase and eliminate all other input.

Answer 1

Heres an alternative solution, match words and replace with * len of str. this wont match words like Scunthorpe as it uses word boundaries, Also you you can add a 3rd param to reveal the first letters of the word so you know what word was said without seeing it.
