Question

I have a PHP script that logs queries on a search script into a MySQL database. However, If a query is put in for an inappropriate term I would not like it to be added to the database. I want a list of words that I deem to be inappropriate which is checked before adding the term to the database. How can I go about doing this?

My current PHP code is:

<?php

$query=$_GET['q'];

logQuery($query);
function logQuery($query){
$query="insert into queries (query) values ('$query') on duplicate key update value=value+1";
mysql_query($query);
}

?>

Answer 1

$inappropriate = array('clod', 'hipster');
if (!in_array($word, $inappropriate)) {
    // Add word to database
}
