Under attack... - 2008/08/05 00:56
Hi everyone,
I have a site live for a few weeks now and within the past couple of days I have gotten over 1000 "blank" emails from the web
site's contact form. This web site is political in nature and that may
explains the motives of the attacker/s.
The truth is that I don't even know how the person or people can even
circumvent the "validate" function.
I have started to look for a more robust approach (I have limited PHP experience) for the contact form and found a couple of leads which URL's I include bellow.
In both of those cases however, it seams that I would have to spend an unknown amount of time learning and testing and I don't know even if any of those options will do the job.
Any suggestions/ideas?
Thank you very much.

These are links to the two options I found and bellow the code I am
currently using for the form and PHP:
