From verification help please

[Wossi]

I need to insert some kind of form verification onto a page on my companies website to stop the 500 odd emails we get every so often, but I have no idea how to do it and after a quick look on the web I got a headache
Can some kind person show a moron how to do this please.

Thanks
Dave

What language are you using? PHP? Asp etc?

In php, something similar to the following?

//* Use a Session *//



<?php

session_start();

if( $_SESSION['lastMailed'] + 600 < time() ) {
    echo 'Wait 10 minutes before mailing again!';
    die;
}

// Mail here

$_SESSION['lastMailed'] = time();  

?>

Whether this will actually work for what you want, I don't know. Have you tried blocking the ip that you are getting the 500 emails from?

Maybe use a form of image verification (would that be practical?)

Google and it will give you a tutorial to do it.
