Does anyone know a good "Contact Us" form script? One that is secure and safe?

This should work fine...
PHP Code:<?
/***************** CONFIG *******************/
// Your Email Address
$to = '[email protected]';
// Enter a url to redirect to after sending the email if needed
$redirect = '';
/*************** END CONFIG *****************/
// Check to see if form has been submitted
if($_POST['submit'])
{
$from = $_POST['from'];
$subject = stripslashes($_POST['subject']);
$body = stripslashes($_POST['body']);
if($from != '' && $subject != '' && $body != ''){
mail($to, $subject, $body, "From: $from");
if($redirect)
header("Location: $redirect");
else
$message = '<p>Email Sent</p>';
} else {
$message = '<p><font color="red">Please complete ALL fields</font><p>';
}
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Send An Email</title>
</head>
<body>
<?=$message?>
<form action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post">
From:<br /> <input type="text" name="from"><br />
Subject:<br /> <input type="text" name="subject"><br />
Message:<br /> <textarea name="body"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send It!">
</form>
</body>

Secure but someone could kill your server with it. You should have a time limit on there
You don't want people sending a message every second all day just to try and take down your site.

without using a database to store IP's that would be pretty much very hard to protect against that kind of activity, most forums and contact forums on the net today are open to that kind of activity BTW.Originally posted by MistSecure but someone could kill your server with it.

Thanks - everyone for their suggestions. What about a cgi script? They don't have to use a database.

well... actually they can and they do use a database. I don't think using a CGI script will solve the problem of mass-mailing your email address.Originally posted by ABLady

Not that this will help right now, but vB3 has one that's built-in.
<a href="$vboptions[contactuslink]">Contact Us</a>
Then, under vB Options and Contact us, you can specify the subjects that you want listed also.Comment

Yuck, CGI would kill the server if it received just 2 emails a day
.
You could store the ip addresses in a text file...Comment

Even better, vBulletin 3 even has sendmessage.php !Comment

Okay, so now I know not to use cgi! That's for sure.
I'm really excited about vb3 Contact Us built in feature.
Thanks everyone.

Not if it's programmed correctly.Originally posted by N9neYuck, CGI would kill the server if it received just 2 emails a day.

It's a common misconception that CGI is slow. It's only slow if it's coded incorrectly. It can be as fast as PHP when you do it properly.
The benefits of CGI are increased security, and being more established.| DiscBurn | CD & DVD Replication services, film and VHS to DVD, and duplication equipment

Put it this way though, generally CGI is slow since perl is programmed poorly (maybe) by many people.Originally posted by Lacrosse BoyComment

People... CGI is not a language. It's a standard for data.
Perl is the most common CGI language. And it's slower than PHP because PHP is usually loaded as a module, unlike Perl. Perl and PHP, when set up similarly, are nearly the same.Comment
