simple help needed from php expert :)
 
hi

i'm getting plagued by spammers using spambots, including some cp spam that i just recieved, so i desperately need to prevent spambots. I'm no programmer but i've done a little script where i link to my script with for example:

http://mydomain.com/email.php?webmaster

i then have an email table in my database with email addresses corresponding to in this example webmaster. The script includes the following code:

Quote:
<?php
$result = mysql_query("select * from email WHERE emailcode LIKE '$QUERY_STRING'");
if ($result)
{
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$contact = $row["emailadd"];
}
mysql_free_result($result);
header( "Location: mailto:$contact\n\n" );
}
?>
I know i'm probably using a sledgehammer to crack a nut but i need to do something.

my problem is that when you click that link above it opens an email ok, but also opens a blank white page. what i need to do is either get the blank white page to automatically click back to the page where the link was clicked, or alternatively if i use target="_blank" close the white webpage whilst leaving the origional page and email still open.

If anyone knows how to do that or an alternative method it would be appreciated :) although my description probably isn't to clear. I'm aware this will probably only stop spambots that crawl my page btw (at least i hope it will )

thanks in advance

So, you're not actually having a PHP problem. :)

Anyways, luckily for you I also know some hahahahahahahahahaha ... From what I read a simple onClick="hahahahahahahahahaha: return false;" should likely work? Not sure though....

Replace the hahahahahahahahahaha with "java script" without the space or quotes...

Cheers,
Matt

Btw, your PHP code format is messy... and your mySQL query string should use = and not LIKE ... :)

Cheers,
Matt

Thanks Matt

I'm assuming that it was java script that is th banned word, i'll have a look around

No problem! Why are you using mySQL for that anyways? You'd likely only be storing a few email addresses, no?

no i was using a mysql database anyway for a searchable directory script i'm attempting to write and just added another table for emails

Nysus 04-14-2003 06:40 PM

<?
$email[1] = "[email protected]";
$email[2] = "[email protected]";
$email[3] = "[email protected]";

$contact = $email['$QUERY_STRING'];
Header ("Location: mailto: $contact");
?>
Above is likely all you'd need. Simply link to filename.ext?1 to send an email to the first in the array, etc.. Should work...

Cheers,
Matt

cool! that's a bit simpler thanks, although that still leaves me with the problem of leaving a white page open when the page is clicked.

So i'll give the hahahahahahahahahaha a go

cheers

Here is a link to a java script that will protect your email from webbots:

Place the following java script where you want the email link to appear (remove the spaces from java script):

PHP Code:

                                                hahahahahahahaha type="text/java    script">
<!--
    var first = 'ma';
    var second = 'il';
    var third = 'to:';
    var address = 'haha105;haha110;haha113;haha117;haha105;haha114;haha121;';
    var domain = 'haha115;haha111;haha108;haha97;haha114;haha115;haha99;haha114;haha101;haha101;haha110;haha115;haha46;haha99;haha111;haha109;';
    document.write('<a href="');
    document.write(first+second+third);
    document.write(address);
    document.write('haha64;');
    document.write(domain);
    document.write('" title="[email protected]">');
    document.write('[email protected]<\/a>');
// -->
</hahahahahahahaha 
Hope that helps.

Tim
Thanks Tim, I'll give it a try.

cheers

An email crawler can see that email ... but... anyways..

Cheers,

Nysus 04-14-2003 08:56 PM
I was being lazy earlier too. You don't need to make a $contact variable .... Yah, I'm tired.

Cheers,
Matt

This is a bit weird. Why would you even try using something like this against spambots?
A few real solutions:
Use hahahahahahahahahaha (see above)
Use a picture with your email address on it
Use a contact form on your website
Make a spambot trap

Yes, I agree with all of those above being different solutions, though I was trying to just help him out with his question. :) It's good to learn, ya know? :)

Matt
