🚫 Not Allowed 🚫

NotAllowed is a simple, lightweight PHP 8.1 library that helps you censor words, profane words, blacklisted IPs, forbidden usernames, banned bank card numbers, etc.

You can easily add new specific keywords (such as IPs, usernames, bank accounts, words, etc.) to be banned in ~/src/banned-data/* folder.

🛠 Server Requirement

• PHP 8.1 or higher.

📓 Installation (with Composer)

composer require ph-7/notallowed

🎮 Usage

Simple example of what you can do with NotAllowed 🙂

use PH7\NotAllowed\Ban;

if (Ban::isUsername('admin')) {
    echo '"admin" is not allowed as username.';
}

if (Ban::isEmail('james@spamhole.com')) {
    echo '"@spamhole.com" domain is considered a spam email host.';
}

if (Ban::isWord('He is an asshole')) {
    echo 'Please watch your mouth :-)';
}

if (Ban::isIp('1.170.36.229')) {
    echo 'This IP address is blacklisted';
}

$userInput = 'admin';
if (Ban::isUsername($userInput, ['root', 'sudo', 'admin'])) {
    echo "$userInput is not allowed";
}

// Check if $userInput contains a banned word OR a banned username
if (Ban::isAny($userInput, email: false, word: true, username: true)) {
    echo "$userInput is not allowed";
}

Extending Banned Phrases

You can supply your own values to be merged with the out-of-box banned data in 2 ways:

1. Ban::merge(string $scope, string | array $value)
2. Ban::mergeFile(string $scope, string $path)

$scope refers to the category of data. Possible values are currently:

• usernames
• words
• ips
• emails
• bank_accounts

Example

Ban::merge('usernames', ['pooter', 'hitler', '690']);
Ban::merge('words', ['cuck', 'bomb']);
Ban::mergeFile('emails', './my_banned_emails.txt');

Now simply validate per normal conventions.
