[Express] PHP Feedback Form Spam Protection

My client would like to have a spam protection on the php feedback form is there such a thing? I am working with FW Express 5.0.

Also he would like to ensure all the fields of the feedback form are filled in by customers is there a way I can do that?
Is it also possible that customers gets an email after they sign up on the feedback form?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I think your question has one thing written all over it. Forms To Go from Bebosoft. I use it for quite some years now in combination with Freeway pro and is excellent! Just make your form like you normally did. After publishing, load the forms html in Forms To Go and let the magic begin. Everything you mentioned is possible and much more.

You need to do some very simple things in Freeway to make it work, but this is only tricky the first time.

Good luck!

Can I just say that if you have “clients” then you should be using Pro.

I agree with you. He is my first client and I thought I wait with upgrading until I receive the money from this job :slight_smile:

Yes, but you can offer a far better job, and more standards compliant, to the client (with less hassle for you) using Pro.

Because if you wish to make money then you should use good tools.

The analogy is digging a hole for a swimming pole with a shovel when the professionals would bring in an excavator.

I will upgrade soon. Would it be easier to spam protect the php feedback form with Freeway Pro?

Well for one, you’d be able to use third-party Actions in Pro. Only
very few such Actions are encoded for Express.

PHP Feedback Form includes a spam trap called a honeypot – it’s very
effective. What it does is insert a hidden form field into your page.
Because it’s hidden, a real human won’t be able to fill it in. But a
spam bot won’t be able to tell the difference between that field and a
real field, so it will fill it in. If the form is submitted with any
value at all in the honeypot field, then the entire submission is
deleted silently. The bot sees the success page, and thinks all is
well, but the form isn’t actually delivered anywhere.
