Question contact box problems

Hello!,
You can find the contact form from my site on the orders page. http://www.septemberschild.com/order.html

It works well but there is something strange going on......every once in a while I get a comment sent to my email from myself or from someone, or something, that justkicks out a bunch of letters and numbers. I haven't gone to that page to click the submit button or anything to make this happen.
Any ideas????

Default Re: contact box problems

It is likely that your form is being targeted for spam and or hijack. Could be actual human or "bot".

I can press submit on your form and it sends without any info at all. Also, it appears that the fields are limitless- you have sent no restrictions on the length of characters that can be put in any one box( that was me who sent you all those "d"s) This is a security risk.

I highly recommend that you use the Navaldesign's form builder (ABVFB) and it can be foud here- http://www.vodahost.com/vodatalk/for...processor.html

Please post your php script that you are using in this thread. We can then modify it so that it will help with these attacks. I would also suggest that you make some fields compulsory and limit the amount of characters allowed in the input fields on the form.

Andy

Thanks!
I downloaded the file and saved the zip to my documents. When I opened it there are a lot of files, tutorials that are 15 pages long etc. Please bare with me. I really don't understand how things work and so far I have built my website by sheer luck, step by step directions and a lot of questions. I will post again after I read the tutorial......
