Pecee Spam Validator class

Small lightweight class for providing an extremely simple layer of spam-security using moinmo.in's list of blacklisted spam words.

Note: this class will not prevent spam 100% and should only be used to add some additional security when validating the contents of your input-fields on your webste.

Installation

Install this module by running the following composer command:

composer require pecee/spam-validator

Usage

$comment = $_POST['comment'];
$service = new \Pecee\Service\SpamChecker();

if($service->isSpam($comment)) {
    // Comment contains spam
} else {
    // Continue...
}

If no path to a spam-list is defined, the class will try to fetch the latest version from http://master.moinmo.in/BadContent?action=raw.

Please store the list locally to avoid calling moinmo.in on each request.

Methods

setPathToSpamList($path)

Set path to local spam-list.

Example:

$service = new \Pecee\Service\SpamChecker();
$this->service->setPathToSpamList('/path/to/spamlist.txt');

setList($list)

Set the contents of the spam-list yourself.

setText($text)

Text you want to validate. We would recomment using the property on the isSpam method instead.

getText()

Returns validated text.

downloadList()

Refetch the list from the external source.
