I would like like to validate changing names by users, and to block setting name values lik adminjohnny or johnnyadmin or johnnyadmin123. I will have array of blocked words and before accept and put name in database i would like to validate it, if it contains any blocked word. How can i do that if blocked word is part of string?

$stringToValidate = string;
$blockedWordsArray = array(...);
function validateStringForBlockedWords($blockedWordsArray, $stringToValidate)
