I am using the following php functions to filter bad words from the user generated content. This is still not sufficient to filter in a better way since users are posting words added with spaces like for word 'badword' they are posting like 'b a d w o r d'.

Here are the functions

Code:
function load_bad_words(){
   global $bad_words;
    $bad_words = @file_get_contents(CFDSPATH . "badwords.lst");
    $bad_words = preg_split( '/\r\n|\r|\n/', $bad_words );
}

function strip_abbusive_words($str){
   global $bad_words;
   foreach($bad_words as $bad_word){
      $bad_word_regex = '/' . ($bad_word[0] == '*' ? '': '\b') . str_replace('*', '', $bad_word) . ($bad_word[(strlen($bad_word)-1)] == '*' ? '': '\b') . '/i';
      $str = preg_replace($bad_word_regex, '', $str);
   }
   return $str;
}


Can any one enhance these functions to filter bad words with combinations of spaces and special characters?

How would one do assassinate or assume if you're stripping out spaces to remove bad words?

No matter how much filtering you put in, people will find a way to f*ck with your code until you realize you couldn't do 5hit about it.

^If you catch my drift with the words I put in there :P
