I need help with <br> thingy. My problem is that when I input the message, I found that if I press enter for newline, then the output is not as I hope, the newline is not exist. The solution is when I input the message with <br> as newline, the output is as I hope, there is newline.

Example: Hello.<br>How are you?
Output:
Hello.
How are you?

But I want the user don't use the <br> thingy for their comfortability. I want the user use enter key as newline instead of write <br> as newline.
Can someone help me to modify the script.

you might think of adding some sort of "flood" protection to prevent repeated abuse

you might think of adding some sort of "flood" protection to prevent repeated abuse

How I can do that?

 

[nick-8318]

How I can do that?

Not sure if this will be the best option but you can do this:

When its the first time the user visits the site:

Check if $_COOKIE['flood'] exists

if ((isset($_COOKIE['flood'])) AND ($_GET['set'] != "true"))
{
// if it does, retreive the value of it
$value = $_COOKIE['flood'];
if ($value <= (time() - 59))
{
// emails have been sent in last min so dont allow anymore
exit;
}
} else
{
$time_now = time();
$time_exp = time() + 60*60*24*7;
setcookie("flood", $time_now, $time_exp);
echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT=\"10; URL=http://yourdomain.com/path/script.php?set=true\">";
exit;
}

if (!isset($_COOKIE['flood']))
{
echo "You must have cookies enabled to send mail.";
exit;
}

// Continue normal from here

Im not sure if that will work....its untested but you can try it

 

[nicedomain4sale]

It works. But how if I want to set the time become 1 minutes to wait ? Which one should I modified.

edit the fiollowing line

$time_exp = time() + 60*60*24*7;

at present it seems to be set for a week (time is in seconds)

 

[nick-8318]

edit the fiollowing line

$time_exp = time() + 60*60*24*7;

at present it seems to be set for a week (time is in seconds)

the cookie is set to be expired in a 1 week, however

line 5 contains the check of how long it has been since email was sent:
if ($value <= (time() - 59))

right now, it is set to be 1 minute (to be exact: 59 seconds)
