Well, start with this expression I use to find and replace bad words...

  eregi_replace("[[:<:]]badword[[:>:]]","goodword",$inputstring);

The key is the regular expresion used to find words ignoring the usual
white space characters and puncuation.

I suppose this will work in the eregi() function too so if the word is
found then the function returns a true and you can act accordingly.
