my contact form is getting spammed to death. just this morning I received 100s of messages in my inbox. I dont want to use captcha. I dont have wordpress so there are no plugins that will help me.
The one thing the spam messages have in common is that they contain a url in the phone number field. A url always has forward slashes because of the http://
How can I disallow forward slashes so if a field has forward slashes, the form doesn't get submitted?
People can be very unpredictable when entering their phone number so I want to allow
numbers
letters
-
dot
(
)
:
space
why letters you ask? because some people might put "extension 123"
how can I do that using php validation regex?
This is something I found on another website but it's no good.
