Well?

What's the preg_replace() on line 316 of /home/lbbc2012/public_html/internals/Apps/TextService.app.php?

{
switch( $badword['type'] )
{
case 'word' :
$badword['badword'] = str_replace( '\*', '[\w~@\#$%^&*()_+|]*', preg_quote($badword['badword']) );
//$this->search_array[] = '#(^'.$badword.'(?=\s|$))|((?<=\s)'.$badword.'(?=\s|[.;:,?!]|$))#i';
$this->search_array[] = '#(\b'.$badword['badword'].'\b)#i';
break;
case 'string' :
$badword['badword'] = str_replace( '\*', '[\w~@\#$%^&*()_+|]*', preg_quote($badword['badword']) );
$this->search_array[] = '#('.$badword['badword'].')#i';
break;
case 'regexp' :
$this->search_array[] = '#('.$badword['badword'].')#i';
break;
}
}



right before the last break

I did not go over everything carefully, in part because it's difficult to read code snippets if you do not wrap them in the forum's [php]...[/php] bbcode tags. One thing I noticed though is that if you are going to use preg_quote(), you should use the optional 2nd parameter to specify the regexp delimiter you plan on using (in this case apparently the "#").
