Hi

I need a php version of the formmail.pl script that Matt wrote (from Matts script archive)...I searched google and I did get a formmail.php but I'm not sure how it compares to the pearl verison.

Also, why is it (or not) better to use a script like formmail instead of using the php mail() function?

    Hi

    Thanks.

    I'm asking - how do these scripts compare to the original formmail.pl by Matt in terms of security?

    Also, is there a script where you do not need to specifiy the recipients email address in the html (hidden input)? I want to avoid spam so I wouldn't like my email address me nested into the html.

      Phorm (http://www.phorm.com) is probably the most secure formmail script I have ever seen - if there is a way to spoof it, I can't figure it out. You DO NOT have to put the recipients email in a hidden field in the script - every form can have it's own config file outside of a web accessible directory. It can send auto-replies and log info into (and retrieve autoresponder data out of) a mysql database and has excellent documentation. There is a web-based installation and configuration utility available along with several plugins.

      Phorm is free but I gave the dude $15 for the plugins and config module. Well worth it.

      (wow, I re-read this and it looks like a commercial - but I have nothing to do with the script or it's author.)

        Looks good, thanks for the recommendation
