PHP form

[denoteone]

This may not be the correct section to ask but I know someone has to have some in site.

 

I had a php form that used the mail function. I was getting slammed from bots that where spamming it. i developed a new page with a captcha on it and deleted the old form.

 

I am still getting spam emails as if they are coming from that deleted form.

 

any thoughts?

 

Thanks for your time.

Is your captcha actually working? Can you show us the contact form?

try to find if you have some other place to submit form. if captcha is working then it is difficult to bot can you share that form link??

i am sorry i did not make myself clear i have form1.php    and form2.php

 

form1 is the old page that was getting slammed. I deleted this page. But have two emails in my inbox this morning from it. ???  I how ever did not delete the script it used to send the mail. (could that be it)

 

form2 has the captura on it. It has been fine I am not getting any spam from that form.

delete form2 that sends the mail if your not using it any more...

I how ever did not delete the script it used to send the mail

Bot scripts do not "browse" to forms and fill in the input fields. They submit data directly to the page in the action="..." parameter. If your form processing code that allowed spam to be sent is still present, any bot script that found it can still use it.

thanks PFMaBiSmAd

 

i went ahead and removed the script page as well. that must have been the issue.

 

Thanks everyone else for the quick reponses.
