Function Problems

[DeadFly]

Hi,

I've created a function :

function DescCheck($desc) {
	for ($n=0; $n<count($NoWord); $n++) {
		$Line=each($NoWord);		
		$descpat=$Line[value];
		if (eregi($descpat,$desc)){			
	    	$desc = FALSE;
	    } else {
	    	$desc = addslashes($desc);
	    }
	    return $desc;		
	}
}

And here is the other relevant code :

$desc=$_POST['SubDesc'];				
$desc=DescCheck($desc);
if  (!$desc) {$err="desc";}
echo $desc;

This function is supposed to check for certain words in $desc, when submitted from a form.
I want it to print the $desc after it runs the function but it wont.

HELP !
🙂

1. try printing the parameters as you pass them into the function to see whats been picked up. ie try printing $noWord

2. you are trying to return $desc inside the for loop so it will just do the loop once ???

And you probable need a global in there for $NoWord

function DescCheck($desc)
{
global $NoWord;

$desc is a sentence. I'm trying to look for specific words in that sentence.
