Hi all, I have a guestbook on my site which is being spammed. Is there a way to implement a captcha on guestbook page without the GD library? The GD library is not installed by my (free) webhost, but php and mySql are. Please let me know if you need more details. Rep will be added Thanks Alex
http://querythe.net/Animated-Gif-Captcha/ was born on these very forums a few days ago, no gd required, and stronger than most image captchas available.....
Thanks for the reply, rep added I'll look into intergrating it into my site. Do you have the link to the DP thread, it could be interesting. Alex
lol, I can't find it, however it is definately here, it was a post about a "text captcha" script, and it turned into that, ErectADirectory posted it and I edited it a little, I'm sure if you search through the posts he has made you'll find more about it.
OR, if you have an email field in there that needs to be filled out, rename the default one to like "webmail" or something and then add ANOTHER (this one is phony) and name it "email" then in an external stylesheet, set the display property to "none" so that it is hidden. a spam bot will see this and fill it out with crap so when your form is submitted, just check to be sure that the hidden mail input "email" is blank. normal users won't see the field so they won fill it out. after that, everything should be good.
