Spam Help!

[Sharif]

I recently created a very simple PHP E-Mail form for a wbesite.

The form includes three fields, name, email, and message.

Recently I've been getting a ton of SPAM messages from this form - looks to be automated.

Any ideas on how to prevent this spam? Anything I can implement? Thanks for any ideas.

You could implement a so-called "captcha" image on your form. You can see the code I used for it on my site here, and I'm sure some searches on "php captcha" will come up with lots of results.

Do you mean hackers use your form to send spam to other people and hundreds of thousdands bounced back to you? If that is the case, google the php email header injection attacks.

Simple rule, check the validation of any user inputs.
