- Captcha Form Recommendations [3 Updates]
- Joni Mueller <joni@jonimueller.com> Mar 01 12:15AM -0600
Since you mention CMSes, CMS Made Simple has a forms module with several different captchas.
But what about deploying the original captcha?

Chris, I went and looked at the recommended resource and didn't think it was for me.
#1> I want to have full control over the HTML. I am not a php coder, but I am an HTML coder. It's the script I can't code, not the form.
#2> $39.00... uffda. That's how much I pay for registering a whole CMS with all sorts of features. Heck, I could easily install an open source CMS in a contact subdirectory for free just to do that one thing.
So, I am still looking for a good script to process form mail securely with a captcha. As I have taken the contact form down, its getting a little more crucial that I find a replacement for the old system since I honestly believe the spammer got the address for my website from my signature, and I am using that damn old script all over the place.
I've looked on HotScripts and implemented one that didn't work at all. Maybe I'll try another (different) one, but I thought for sure someone would have some recommendations or tell me what captcha js drop-in works well for them.
Anyone?
Thanks!

I would reccomend Machform. You can make great looking and functioning forms check it out at http://www.appnitro.com/ We have been usingthem for quite awhile and we like it. Easy to configure, the css is simple to edit on a form by form basis and you can make changes to the forms easily through the interface. Forms are also mobile friendly. All around great tool

OK, I am being swamped with spam.
Here's the funny deal, they are using a webform to send me a mish-mash of English that is loaded with .in links that will never be posted or clicked on anywhere by anyone.
I have a secure web form email processor, and its quite good, but it lacks a captcha.
By a "secure form mail" I mean that it kept my email address very secure, but obviously I am being attacked by bots. Time to update to a more secure form mail system.
I have been trying to add a captcha to it, but the captcha system I employed allows anyone to input anything and still works.
So, I am unsure which way to go, now. Perhaps I should replace my old tried and true form mail processor with something else. Or maybe I can add a captcha system that actually works.
I would prefer adding a javascript based captcha, but is there any security concerns with something like that? Afterall, javascript is client based, perhaps it would be easier to break? Plus, anyone that is paranoid and refusing to run javascript wouldn't be able to contact me. Plus I would like it to be accessible and usable to mobile devices.
I also require that the form allow the uploading of specific types of images. And specific other attachments have to be disallowed. That has strongly limited my choices in secure form mail processors in the past.
Anyone with any recommendations for me?
The secure web form I use now does not appear to work on godaddy servers, so I am not opposed to upgrading to something that does work. However, most of my contact forms on many of my sites use SSI, so it would be easiest for me if I could still use .shtml web pages and use a php processor script. But that's not set in stone either, especially if the script will function equally well on your basic godaddy hosting as well as regular full featured web hosting.

doug,
I have used this script on a number of times: http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/secure-php-form-mailer-script/
Someone on here recommended it, i have also used it on Wordpress sites as I was impressed with the stand alone PHP script.
I use the simple captcha and have gotten no spam through it.
Plus it has a lot of functionality.
Might be what you are looking for

Yeah, I think I am going to use the DD Form Mailer, it looks good and
supports captcha. I was just about to try it out when I realized I had to
put out fires on a couple other websites.
Actually, I have blazes going all over the place, now. Hopefully I will
get the form working, drop in a new site-wide template and add a page for
the form and have it all done tomorrow (hafta work tonight, should be
sleeping, now).
Thanks, Paudie!
