A function I wrote to sit in a message board program I wrote:

function check_bad_content($string)
{
// Stuff that spammers post with:
$bad_strings = array('www.','/url]','ttp://','ttps://') ;

foreach( $bad_strings as $bad_string )
{
if ( ereg( $bad_string, $string ) ) return false ;
}

return true;

} // E-O-function check_bad_content

The entire message is passed in the parameter to check_bad_content.
