[SOLVED] Email Form Word Filters

[phpQuestioner]

OK - So I keep getting this same spam email; using the same word and I have decided to try to create a script that will block email from being sent if my $comment variable contains a specific word. I think my script is kind of close, but it still is not not right just yet. I was wonder if some one could take a look at it and tell me how I could fix it to work the way I want it to. Does any one know what I need to correct in my script to make it work the way I want it to.

 

 

<?php

$comment = addslashes($_POST['comment']);

$stupidspammer=array("Website","Email","Link");

while ($commment = $stupidspammer) {

echo "We Are Not Interested";
exit;

}


// mail email stuff here


?>

I don't think it's a good idea to block all emails that have one of those words in it.

It would be better to just block emails that have the URL of the spam site in it (the spam emails are including a URL, right?)

[phpQuestioner]

well it is not specifically those words - that is just an example

 

 

the url varies, but in the intro of their spam pitch; they use specific words

[phpQuestioner]

could someone tell me how I can correct my script to make it work?

bump

you're while loop is doing assignment not comparison. try == for starters.

[phpQuestioner]

ok - simple mistake - but that did not help - form is still sending mail

 

 

I need to check the entire $comment variable's string to make sure it does not contain specific words; this is what I am trying to do.

look into preg_match

[phpQuestioner]

Ok - So I tried preg_match - but I still am not doing something right.

 

<?php

$stupidspammer=array("Website","Email","Link");

if (preg_match($stupidspammer, $comment)

echo "We Are Not Interested";
exit;

}

?>

 

 

So where to from here?

try[code[<?php
$stupidspammer=array("Website","Email","Link");
if (eregi('('.implode('|',$stupidspammer).')', $comment)){
echo "We Are Not Interested";
exit;
} else {
echo 'good';
}
?>

[phpQuestioner]

sasa - I tried the script you provided; but it still let email go through.

[phpQuestioner]

no I'm wrong - it did work - I just had a cookie set to prevent spammer from sending more then one email in a day  ( a little something I had tried before; but did not fully block spammer)

 

 

Thank You Sasa !!!
