To set the replace rule, use following function before calling check()

$replace_rule = [
    'o' => 0,
    'O' => 0,
    '*' => '_'
];

$replace_rule = json_encode($replace_rule);

$spamDoctor->setReplaceRule($replace_rule);

Above example will replace o and O (upper and lowercase of O) with 0 (zero)

You can also pass common letter to replace with if letter in replace_rule is not found by passing * key with appropriate value.

For example, in above example if a spam word contains o or *O will be replaced with 0 otherwise will add _ (underscore) to random place in the word.
