how could i help to develop it?

Jep, me too. My guestbook is flooding everyday with spam. I sure like the solution with the numbers generated everytime you reload the page. Before I used PhpWCMS I used Mambo. This script uses the Akobook as guestbook and had this option. Worked very fine. Please let me know if there is a solution with the generated numbers. The solution from Spirelli also works, but is too much time consuming for me.

Cheers...

Besides the BAD BEHAVIOR and the hack to aprove entry's in the Admin there still aint a hack for the generated numbers.

I believe that's the only way so the guestbook stays a guestbook. If i post a comment in a guestbook and have to wait 2 days before it shows up I realy don't call that a guestbook.

anyone the knowhow for the generated numbers before my visitors may post?

Let's make a start:

Code: Select all

<?php /* 
example of usage: 

inside your form 
<input type="text" name="validator" id="validator" size="4" /> 
<img src="random.php" alt="CAPTCHA image" width="60" height="20" vspace="1" align="top" /> 

and test the value of the "validator" form field like: 
if (!empty($_POST['validator']) && $_POST['validator'] == $_SESSION['rand_code']) { 
    process your form here 
    at least destroy the session 
    unset($_SESSION['rand_code']); 
*/ 

// save this code in your random script 
session_start(); 

if (empty($_SESSION['rand_code'])) { 
    $str = ""; 
    $length = 0; 
    for ($i = 0; $i < 4; $i++) { 
        // this numbers refer to numbers of the ascii table (small-caps) 
        $str .= chr(rand(97, 122)); 
    } 
    $_SESSION['rand_code'] = $str; 
} 

$imgX = 60; 
$imgY = 20; 
$image = imagecreatetruecolor(60, 20); 

$backgr_col = imagecolorallocate($image, 238,239,239); 
$border_col = imagecolorallocate($image, 208,208,208); 
$text_col = imagecolorallocate($image, 46,60,31); 

imagefilledrectangle($image, 0, 0, 60, 20, $backgr_col); 
imagerectangle($image, 0, 0, 59, 19, $border_col); 

$font = "VeraSe.ttf"; // it's a Bitstream font check www.gnome.org for more 
$font_size = 10; 
$angle = 0; 
$box = imagettfbbox($font_size, $angle, $font, $_SESSION['rand_code']); 
$x = (int)($imgX - $box[4]) / 2; 
$y = (int)($imgY - $box[5]) / 2; 
imagettftext($image, $font_size, $angle, $x, $y, $text_col, $font, $_SESSION['rand_code']); 

header("Content-type: image/png"); 
imagepng($image); 
imagedestroy ($image); 
?>

Does anyone know which file builds the form? and maybe a litle hint to the right setup....

Hi rush,

Under heavy sunshine you can´t see anything at your laptop out there at the terrace.
The same for O.G. I think.

About relieving your guestbook of spam -- as a temporary fix try changing the url for your questbook to something like "guestbook-nospam." It worked for me: http://www.phpwcms.de/forum/viewtopic.p ... c&start=15

My guestbook has been spam free for about a week now!

The security image is still a must though.
