question about storing array in text file

bbmak

this is one my badword function. I am using an array to store the bad word, but i know you can do it in text file with file($textfile);
but i don't know the format of how i store the badwords in text file
do i store it this way? same way as my array?
'fuck' => 'f', 'damn' => 'd', 'shit' => 's***'

function badword($message) 
{ 

$badwords = array('fuck' => 'f***', 'damn' => 'd***', 'shit' => 's***');
foreach ($badwords as $badword => $censored)  

{
$message = str_replace("$badword", "$censored", $message); 
} 


return $message; 
}

The storage format is up to you. I would personally use:

fuck|f
shit|s

Using the pipe character to separate the bad word from the replacement and using newlines to separate each group of words.

Then in the script, just read that into an array with something like:

$fp = fopen($badwordsfile, "r");
 while ($line = fgets($fp)) {
   $somevar = split("|", $line); // blow the line into two parts
   $badword = $somevar[0];
   $goodword = $somevar[1];
   $badwords[$badword] = $goodword;
 }

i dont get it in this part. How come there are 2 variables? Isn't that is in a while loop?
what do i put in 0 and 1?
$badword = $somevar[0];
$goodword = $somevar[1];

Two variables: one for the bad word, and one for what you want to replace it with.
And yes, it's in a while loop.
You don't put anything in 0 and 1. 0 and 1 are numbers.

May i know how do i put it in my function. I try it but it seems like not working

Let's see how you're trying and maybe we'll be able to see why it "seems like not working".

i got it work by this code here, the previous code is not really work, or maybe it is too complicated for me.

$fp = fopen("badwords.txt", "r");
while($line = fgets($fp)) {
list($bad,$good) = explode("|", $line);
$badwords[$bad] = $good;

$filter = array($bad => $good);

foreach ($filter as $bad => $good)

{

}
