Hi there!
my comments function for my website (at
www.waterpigs.co.uk/php/phpTest.php) is being spammed, what would be
your sugguestions of a way to deal with it? I was thinking of something
to do with searching the strings of comments contained in the database
for rude words, etc, but I'm unsure as to how to do it.
Any help would be appreciated greatly.
Thanks,
Barnaby

Here is the function that I added to a generic guest book script. It works
great for me. I have a predefined list of sexual, pharmaceutical, rude,
vulgar, etc... words that I have in the spamwords.dat file.
function is_spam($str) {
$data = './data/spamwords.dat';
$spamword = file($data);
$str = strtolower($str);
foreach ($spamword AS $word) {
$word = trim($word);
if ( ! empty($word) && // Blank line
strpos($word, 0, 1) != '#' && // Comment line
strpos($str, strtolower($word)) !== false ) { // Compare
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
Just setup the spamwords.dat file to have each word/string that you want to
reject for separated on each line.
