[RESOLVED] preg_replace Problem

[dunlop03]

Hi guys,

Im trying to replace a words that are entered into a settings field (seperated by a ,)

So in my admin panel I enter words in the "hide_words" setting field like so: hello,goodbye,tommy,today

Heres my example:

$words = explode(",",settings['hide_words']);

$replace = "<b>[Disallowed]</b>";
$message = preg_replace("#$words#", "$replace", $message); 

Doesnt seem to be replacing the words.
