Hi, I know, I know I will feel so stupid asking.... Could someone please give me that light bulb moment? For the life of me I can't understand why this won't work... A simple antibot verification. Works without adding verification check.. html page: <div style="margin-left:2px; margin-top:5px " class="onang3">your name</div> <div style="margin-left:0px; margin-top:1px " ><input type="text" class="input" name="name" style="width:180px; height:17px; border-style:solid; border-width:1px; background-color:#000000; border-color:#BE0A0B "/></div> <div style="margin-left:2px; margin-top:3px " class="onang3">your location</div> <div style="margin-left:0px; margin-top:1px " ><input type="text" class="input" name="location" style="width:180px; height:17px; border-style:solid; border-width:1px; background-color:#000000; border-color:#BE0A0B " /></div> <div style="margin-left:2px; margin-top:3px " class="onang3">your e-mail</div> <div style="margin-left:0px; margin-top:1px " ><input type="text" class="input" name="email" style="width:180px; height:17px; border-style:solid; border-width:1px; background-color:#000000; border-color:#BE0A0B " /></div> <div style="margin-left:2px; margin-top:3px " class="antispam1"> Leave this empty:</div> <div style="margin-left:0px; margin-top:1px " ><input class="antispam" type="text" name="url" style="width:180px; height:17px; border-style:solid; border-width:1px; background-color:#000000; border-color:#BE0A0B " /></div> <div style="margin-left:2px; margin-top:3px " class="onang3">your message</div> <div style="margin-left:0px; margin-top:1px " ><input type="text" class="input" name="comment" style="width:180px; height:65px; border-style:solid; border-width:1px; background-color:#000000; border-color:#BE0A0B " /></div> <div style="margin-left:25px; margin-top:5px; margin-right:0px" class="red"> <div align="left"><span class="red" style="margin-left:10px; margin-top:5px; margin-right:0px"> </span> </div> <span class="onang1"> <button type="reset" style="border: 0; background: transparent"> <img src="images/reset.jpg" alt="reset" style="margin-right:19px "/> </button> </span> <span class="onang1"> <button type="submit" style="border: 0; background: transparent"> <img src="images/submit.jpg" alt="submit" /> </button> </span> </div> </form> add php page: <?php header("Location: guestbook.html"); if(isset($_POST['url']) && $_POST['url'] == ''){ $$dbservertype='mysql'; $servername='localhost'; $dbusername='xxxx'; $dbpassword='xxxx'; $dbname='xxxxx'; connecttodb($servername,$dbname,$dbusername,$dbpassword); function connecttodb($servername,$dbname,$dbuser,$dbpassword) { global $link; $link=mysql_connect ("$servername","$dbuser","$dbpassword"); if(!$link){die("Could not connect to MySQL");} mysql_select_db("$dbname",$link) or die ("could not open db".mysql_error()); } $name = $_POST['name']; $email = $_POST['email']; $location = $_POST['location']; $comment = $_POST['comment']; $datetime=date("d-m-y"); //date time $rt=mysql_query("insert into guestbook(name,email,location,comment,datetime) VALUES('$name','$email','$location','$comment','$datetime')"); echo mysql_error(); } ?> Database and all is correct, works without "if" check
