FormM@iler

FormM@iler is a simple, but effective and secure, form processing script written in PHP 4 though many have had it work in PHP5, though since I have no personal experience I can't promise it will. It can handle almost any form need for an unlimited number of forms.

Each form configuration can have different settings, and the recipients email addresses are hidden in the script, not in a hidden field in the form. This keeps your email addresses private from the prying eyes of spambots and other privacy threats on the internet.

Forms can have multiple recipients as To:, Cc: or Bcc: recipients, contain attachments, send plain text or tabled HTML results. You can set up auto-responders and send different field results to the recipients and auto-responders. It's a full featured form processor that can handle almost anything you can throw at it.

Setup requires no special file permissions, no special upload location and no technical coding skills. The only necessary skill in the ability to be able to set some variable values to configure your script to work for you. One single file installation can handle all the forms for that domain.

FormM@iler comes with complete documentation to get the script up and running, and now there is also a 18 page PDF manual available for a small fee that covers a lot more including JavaScript validations, until now undocumented features and more.

New in Version 4.5 - Spam Control!

With the release of version 4.5 comes the much requested spam control. Alot of research and testing went in to the many options of spam controls that are available in the new version. In version 4.5 comes the following spam control options:

  • HTML and bbCode Flagging - If any of the fields listed in in the configuration contain HTML or bbCode the message is marked as spam.

  • "sorta-CAPTCHA" - An easier to implement but still functional CAPTCHA type protection to help stop automated form submissions.

  • URL Count - If any of the configured fields contain more than a set number of URL's the submission will be marked as spam.

  • The empty field trick - Feeding an automated bot a field hidden with CSS. If it contains anything the message is marked as spam.

  • Form Timer - If the form is submitted too quickly, it is marked as spam.

  • To flag or delete - The option to flag the subject of marked emails or just delete them altogether.

With all these options available to you, many being configurable by the user, it should help everyone lessen the amount of garbage being sent through their FormM@iler powered forms.

There are other ways to take control of your inbox and help get rid of, or at least hide, the spam problem. There are plenty of spam filters for your email clients, and your mail server. Check into them if you spam problem is really bad.
