Form Security and Spam

[beebrothers]

Re: Form Being Spammed

ok, i tended to a few details prior to heading out this am, i'll be back in a few hours to continue.

1st, your email upload opened no problem until i started tweaking.

then i created a blank index page that is inside the uploads folder and published it, that seemed to fix the (if someone types www.yourdomaqin.com/uploads he can see your folder content) issue.

ndconfirm i published again after changing the properties to html, i first published it as a php, that fixed that issue.

i need to "set the extensions" to A or -B when i get home, i think i can figure that out, i THINK.. :)

after i did all this your upload didn't open, now do i create a "upload" folder within the ftp manager and/or the file manager within the public_html folder?

i'm still confused on the uploads folder with scenrio

grazie amico

Re: Form Being Spammed

hmm..

not sure how to set extensions to A or -B

submittal without an upload is ok (whatever i did since you tested it messed it up)

submittal with an upload i get the file in the email but when i click on it it opens my blank upload page instead of the file and also the confirm page shows me an error:
Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Not a directory in /home/fchjvsex/public_html/abvfp.php on line 326

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/fchjvsex/public_html/abvfp.php:326) in /home/fchjvsex/public_html/abvfp.php on line 395


i'm stuck, but hey almost there..

thanks

Re: Form Being Spammed

ok everything is worked out, i think except the - to publish a blank "index" page, or an index page with a redirect code, in the "uploads" folder. This is a necessary security measure,

i still see the content

i don't know what a redirect code is?

and when i click the uploaded file in my email i get a 404 error page

tag your it..

Re: Form Being Spammed

Just create a page in BV, save it on your computer as "index" attention, in another folder, so it will not overwrite your normal index page, and then publish it in the "uploads" folder. What you have done with the "blank" page you have created, but save it (and publish it) as index.

Re: Form Being Spammed

okiee dokiee, seems everything is working, except i can't find the file that i upload, a browser 404 error opens when i click the upload in the email..
the file is in my upload folder and i can cut and paste the link into browser and get a open/save screen, is that how it's supposed to work?

and just checking to find out if the folder content is secure??

and i promise to leave you alone :)

grazie amico

Re: Form Being Spammed

Ok, one thing at a time:

1. Include this code in the index page that you have published:

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.beebrothers.org">

This will redirect anyone that tries to see your uploads folder, in your home page.
2. If the file name contains blanks, then yes, the only way is to copy the link, paste it in your browser address bar, and it will open in your browser. If the file name doesn't contain any blank spaces, it will work directly clicking on the email address link.

Re: Form Being Spammed

ok, code inserted into html properties/start of page

when i put http://www.beebrothers.org/uploads into browser it redirects it to my home page

thats good i take it :)

yes my test file had a blank space, my test page now without a space opens in a browser..

your awesome, 15-20 minutes just like you said

thank you

Re: Form Being Spammed

Well, you may have taken more than 15 - 20 minutes, but you have also edited the pages (which takes time) And, of course, i meant 15 - 20 minutes to simply upload the pages and have the script working. As for customization etc, it is intended that you need more time.

Please note that you can use your own form (s), it is not necessary that you use the example form that comes in the package.

The code should go in the Between head Tag, but it works the same in the Start of page.

Re: Form Being Spammed

I'M NOT TOUCHING IT :)

will move the code

i added the A / B /C properties to the fields, so i'm done

but i will continue to customize them..

thanks again for your help, two thumbs up

Re: Form Being Spammed

I am still a bit confused on some of this stuff. I will study it a bit further but I am spending so much time running thru my spammed requests that I can't seem to get anything else done.

Re: Form Being Spammed

motoxx-

Look at my form here and fill it in making sure to leave a couple blank to show the error page and reporting. IF you like that method- let me know using this contact form and I will help you write a secure script.

Cheers-
Andy

Re: Form Being Spammed

Never mind.............you got it covered

Re: Form Being Spammed

moto...
i read somewhere maybe Naval posted it, and i might be wrong, but i thought someone suggested not having your email address spelled out in a link such as you have in

http://www.affordablemedicaldental.com/contact.html

i thought i read it was better to mask it in a button...

someone might know better...i read too much here to rememeber how to find it again..

p.s. your grey on grey nav. links at http://www.health-insurance-washington.com/ on the bottom are hard to read
