How do I protect my form in php??

[bunglebrown]

Yes. . . I have created a form in HTML that once submitted is sent to a php page where it is then sent onto me> my question is how to protect from spammers that can get hold of the recipient email address. Any good tips or effective coding would be great.

PHP is processed server side. None of the code will be shown to the users of your form. Unless you include some form of output that includes your email address...
(or if you cock up your coding which results in an error that reveals part of your code, your email address being including within that).

If you're worried about bot-spam, try looking at CAPTCHA systems (although I hate them!)

1)
You can put confirmation code like orkut scrape send to other user, it has not your friend list at that time asking some verification code type in text box submit.


You can protect to spammers.

2) Email Verficatin

You can also Email Verification code send at your email id & activation compelte after that form submit.

You want a captcha. I'll grant that some websites go really OTT (Rapidshare had one which was impossible, even for a person!) but for the most part they're a good way of stopping bot-spam.
