How can moderators or administrators of PHP forums help prevent the sharing of sensitive information in public posts?

Moderators or administrators of PHP forums can help prevent the sharing of sensitive information in public posts by implementing content filtering or moderation tools. They can set up automated filters to detect and block posts containing sensitive information such as personal identification numbers, credit card numbers, or passwords. Additionally, moderators can manually review posts before they are published to ensure that no sensitive information is shared. 

// Example code snippet for implementing content filtering in a PHP forum
$post_content = $_POST['content'];

$sensitive_words = array('password', 'credit card', 'social security number');
foreach($sensitive_words as $word) {
    if(strpos(strtolower($post_content), $word) !== false) {
        // Block or flag the post containing sensitive information
        // Alternatively, notify the user about the sensitive content policy
    }
}
