I need a PHP programmer for minor change to a script

Hello,

I own a tutorial website. It runs off a script called TutorialSHRE.

Right now to report a tutorial (report is for letting me know a tutorial is broken), you just click "report tutorial" and it sends me the report and takes the reporter to a thank you page.

The problem is people/spiders keep pressing it and I get the email the the tutorial is broken and it never is, they're all working right now.

I know it's spiders as well because one was the Google spiders IP, the others could all be spiders too.

My request is this. I need a PHP programmer to edit my script so that when they click "report tutorial" it takes them to a page where they then enter the code they see on a captcha image.

I am just looking for quotes right now to have this done. Please PM me for more info, your price for this etc.

I won't ask at TutorialSHRE because he couldn't help me with something simple and basically said something I wanted to do wasn't possible, enough playing around in the PHP and I got the script to do what I wanted. So I know asking over there is fruitless.

Adding a captcha image is too advanced for me. I hope to get some responses. I needed this done yesterday.

These ARE spiders right? Google, Inktomi, I am getting these reports out my ears and I am going to go mad in a second. Yes I can just turn off the feature, but I want it on for legit reports.

Help, someone, anyone. Lol. grrrr...

 

Yep, those are G's and I's spiders.

 

I could set it up so it sends them to a selection page which then gives options for a reason why. ex

- Broken Link
- Tutorial no longer at that address
- SPAM

ETC.

random image option: I could do that but would likely charge more.

Would you like a PM quote?

 

would rel='nofollow' on the links not work, or putting it in the robots.txt file?

 

People would still click on it. That would only stop the bots.

 

It's dumb how it was made. It shouldn't be just a click on a link to send an email, it should have some form of confirmation. Short of banning IPs, I feel my only option is image verification. Because I don't want to be banning spiders.

George, feel free to send me a quote via PM.

The site is w w w . r e t r o t u t o r i a l s . c o m without the spaces.

And don't be clicking report tutorial!! lol... Or I will end up HAVING to be Queen of the Wacko's around here!!

They need to be taken to a page showing something like this:


Here's the code from report.php, not much to it.


if (!defined('VALID')) {
die('You cannot view this file.');
}
$tut_array = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query('SELECT * FROM ' . $prefix . "tutorials WHERE id = '$_GET[tut]'")) or $erri = 1;
if ($erri == 1) {
$content[] = output($message = 'Tutorial (' . $_GET[tut] . ') does not exist.');
return;
}
mail($email, 'Broken Tutorial', 'Tutorial: ' . $tut_array[name] . " is broken
IP: " . $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR] . "
--- TutorialSHRE v2.1.2", 'From: ' . $sitetitle . '<' . $email . '>');
$content[] = output($message = 'Thank you, ' . $tut_array[name] . ', will be reviewed asap.');


I would also prefer when I get an email for the tutorial to be linked to the tutorial so I can click it and see for myself. I just bought this site and have to search high and low just to find the supposed "broken" tutorial to check it, a direct link would be great!

[EDIT]Ok who's the wiseguy clicking report tutorial?? LOL [/edit]

 

I've got someone looking into this issue now. Thanks everyone.

 

Just wanted to update this:

I had anton-io! fix the script and he even included some extras. He did a great job at a great price!

I am extremely pleased. I highly recommend anton-io! to anyone here that needs PHP/Database work done.

Thanks!

 

Thank you kindly and glad to be of service!

I humbly and graciously accept your accolades!

 

Good stuff, anton-io! Glad to see it worked out, Colleen
