deejay3615 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 One feature of ASP coding is the ability to hide email addresses in ASP code above the /HEAD. Linux servers do not support this feature. My question: On Linux servers, "How would someone create a webpage with a form that directs submissions to a send mail function without allowing spam bots to harvest the address?"

TCH-Bruce Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Welcome to the forums deejay3615 The best way is to pass the form information off to a script that contains the email address to send the information while processing the form. You can check hotscripts.com for form processing scripts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abinidi Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 For example, you could use PHP. All the stuff in the PHP tags isn't rendered in the HTML when the page loads. The server processes it, but the end users can't see it because it stays server side. Be sure your forum is hacker safe; there are many form scripts that are vulnerable to header injection; if your contact form gets compromised, your account will get shut down.
