I need some help with my site. The forums are perfect (nice job myBB team).

I have a site and want to add the following to it:

To the contact form:

* Send auto email after submitting to let user know email has been recieved (requires database??)

* Let a user submit only 5 times a day to reduce spam (database or cookies??)

* Only click submit once to reduce spam (php please, no silly javascript codes)

* Send it to both me and someone else (simple little code like:

mail( "email@email.com, email@email.com", "Runescape Fan Site Mail"??)

I prefer something stable and unpreventable, eg: not javascript, cause it can be turned off by spammer in the form etc, so php would be nice. I have a database if you need it for the code. Let me know what to do. Much thanks to anyone who can help.

P.S: Also, if you need the files of mine, here they are:

And the second file:

what is your website?
i would be willing to help if you told me and made me admin

http://www.linuxbox.co.nz/~kieran/Runescape/ and no, sorry, I can't make you admin as its not my server, its my friends. You can join the forum though

well what ever you do try and stay away from cookies. they can be easily deleted. its how loads of sites block people. by ip and cookies.
fools........

might just be this pc then. ie suxs anyway

the resultion for the site is 1024x768, so 800x600 will make it weird :/

As for the questions, no one has answered Im sure there is someone who knows how??

Just add the code to the documents, and reattattach them.

Well, PHP doesn't know if you received the mail, but knows for sure if it has been sent. Doesn't need a db
* Let a user submit only 5 times a day to reduce spam (database or cookies??)
don't rely on cookies if you can use sessions or db. But if it's not a big thing you can use simple text, ini or inc.php files
* Only click submit once to reduce spam (php please, no silly javascript codes)
huh?
* Send it to both me and someone else (simple little code like:

mail( "email@email.com, email@email.com", "Runescape Fan Site Mail"??)

for the average joe, cookies would be fine for blocking people short term. Most people wont know how to delete their cookies, and so wouldn't be able to get to your site.
Also most people have dynamic IPs so you can only ban them for one session.

ok, thanks guido and Todd B for helping with the mutliple people thing. Now, Im working on the ability to add attachments.

Attached is the file I have put the code in. This is the page: http://www.linuxbox.co.nz/~kieran/Runescape/contact.php

As you will see if you click ctrl + a, there is a parse error at the top. Much thanks to anyone that can get it going.

Line 206: are you sure it's "$cleanmessage = $badword->word_fliter($bettermessage);" ?

Anyway the parse error consists in a { not closed. Check one by one and see if you have closed all of them towards the end of the code.

I assume you meant to have a } after the block of HTML for...

code:

---

elseif (!$validator->ValidateEmailBox($email)) {

---

code:

---

// get the sender's name and email address

---

Guido, yes, that is right. "$cleanmessage = $badword->word_fliter($bettermessage);" ? scans the messgae for swear words and cleans them by turning them into ####'s. Also, im a copy and paste then learn type person.

So thanks WDZ for the code. Unfortunatly:

The form does not send, there are no errors, and it doesn't go to the thanks page anymore.

Any other ideas??

well, it still works

O_o

The function name is also spelled wrong when it's defined in the badword class?

it still works perfectly. All I need to do now is intergrate it with the attachment code. If anyone cna test it on their servers, get it to work, and post i back here, I will be very grateful. How many pages do you need??

* Contact form (contact.php)
* Process form (form.php)
* Thanks page (thanks.php)

I can post them all here if you need them.

Please? Anyone?? I would appreciate any help. Can someone intergrate a code into the attached file that will allow people to send attachments using a php form. Please help. I can't get a response from anywhere else
