How to create a secure contact form?

[bernard4]

Hi, I need a secure contact form, because I get too much spam. Can you recommend a free script, or at least very cheap, but good?

I would suggest you to check PHP Form Mailer script which is a free script to create forms. It has got many features which will allow you to create a unique contact form on your website and you will be able to customize the form as per your requirements.

It also includes an image verification system and protection against email header injection which is a security feature against unsolicited emails

Have you tried the renowned 'Matt's formmail' ? It's a generic HTML form to e-mail gateway that parses the results of any form and sends them to the specified users. More info can be found here : "scriptarchive.com/formmail.html".

Thank you for your suggestion. Those form processors programs are much better than my self-made forms.

I am testing now Formmail and 123contactform. I am sure I will settle for one of them.

If you can program yourself, the only thing you need to circumvent spam is to implement a humanly question such as: Clear this text box if you are human, then there's a default word such as "bad" in the input field.

Other questions would do too. Look at what I did on my studio site (at the bottom of the page).

If you are using Wordpress for your website then you can easily install a Wordpress plugin called Fast and Secure Contact Form on your website which is also a free contact form provided for Wordpress

to keep a secure contact form is the most essential part..
so we use this..
<form name="contact" method="post" action="contact.php">
Your Name: <input type="text" name="Name"><br>
Your Email: <input type="text" name="Email"><br>
Subject: <input type="text" name="Subject"><br><br>
Reason:
<select name="Reason">
<option value="1">General Feedback</option>
<option value="2">Advertising</option>
<option value="3">Privacy Issues</option>
</select><br>
Message:<br>
<textarea name="Message" cols="30" rows="8"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Contact Us">
</form>

I don't know how work scripts for this purpose, but I have done very good protection for my site with form creator and captcha.
