How do you protect this thing from being spammed?
I do not know why somebody would spam it, but I have had all kind of
forms being spammed - it seem there are people out there who find
immense pleasure in spamming forms, regardless of the result.

I really dont see what anybody could gain by spamming this form but
anyway it does check to make sure the person submits something that
starts with "http" via strstr (after bringing it down to lowercase,
thats why i didnt use stristr, and because it checks just "http",
https too is allowed, i really dont think people will have much use
for FTP or other protocols here so didnt bother, it also safeguards
my server from people trying to serve up my local files)..
Yeah, that's not so great: http://ezee.se/d
If i do see spam, will throw in a captcha... there are many other
there that are decent, i might not go for "enter the below
characters" one but most probably "click the elephant/cat/dog/mouse"
in the picture one.
If that does not work, will either have to ask for their credit card
numbers or ask them to mail me their birth certificates...
:o)
J/K of course!
The only spam you're likely to see here is spammers using the service
to mask URLs they send out via other channels. Not much you can do
about that but it's likely to get your main domain name banned by some
spam filters.
You could probably stop a lot of that by checking URLs against http://www.surbl.org/
before allowing them.
