New user here: Is there an easy way for non-coders like me to make the RC contact form secure? I just designed/published mine last night and have already received over 20 spam submissions.

My contact form: https://postalemployeenetwork.com/contact2.php

Thanks

I'd do it like that: Put another edit box into your contact form, and write a text in front of it like this:

Enter "hello" in here, to verify you are not a spam bot

Name that input "antispam"

And then, use this code (with your own email replaced of course):

$text = "";
foreach($_POST as $name => $value)
{
$text .= "$name : $value\n";
}

if ($_POST['antispam'] != "hello")
{
echo 'Wrong anti-spam field.';
}
else
if ($text != "")
{
echo 'Thanks for contacting us.';
mail("youremail@example.com", "Contact form request", $text);
}

erik - I must be doing something wrong. Now the phrase "Wrong anti-spam field." shows up on my contact page even before I test the form.

I can only recommend using a professional script that has several anti-spam filters built into it. Otherwise you won't get any rest. Not only is it flooded with spam, it's just a matter of time before your form is misused to send spam to other people. Then at the latest you will have problems with your email provider.

You can take a look here to see what a sensible and spam-proof contact form can look like: https://www.werde-wach.de/verwal...
