PHP Array Help - Dutchcoffee - 03-01-2010
Hi,
I'm trying to use an array to pick out the "blacklisted" words from being used.
I'm currently trying to use this...
PHP Code:
$not_allowed = array("root","www","www2","ww3","admin","staff","dev","mail","web","cpanel","webmail","whm","host","ww2","members","member");
And to execute this, I'm using...
PHP Code:
if(in_array($not_allowed))
{
$_SESSION['error'] = $not_allowed_error;
}
What I want, is if anyone types any of those words in the specified text field, it will give them an error, but it's not picking them out for some reason.
Thanks.

You need the $needle part of the in_array() function.
bool in_array ( mixed $needle , array $haystack [, bool $strict ] )
So you'll do something like this.
PHP Code:
$input = $_POST['input'];
if(in_array($input, $not_allowed))
{
$_SESSION['error'] = $not_allowed_error;
}
