Filtering More Than One Link In Email Spam?

[3dColor]

I would like to stop spammers that insert a bunch a links in to my contact form.

So I thought I could do something like

<cfif emailContactForm CONTAINS "http">
<cfset error = 1>
</cfif>

If the error equals 1 then don't send the email.

But sometimes I do get real emails with a link in it and I don't want to filter them, so how can I detect if there are more than 1 link in the email to filter those?

You could use the captcha that is built into CF8 to stop bots.

To answer your question:

<cfset stringToFind = "http">
<cfset startPos = 1>
<cfset foundCount = 0>

<cfloop from="1" to="100" index="i" step="1">
<cfif FindNoCase(stringToFind,yourContent,startPos)>
<cfset foundCount = foundCount + 1)>
<cfset startPos =
FindNoCase(stringToFind,yourContent,startPos)
<cfelse>
<cfbreak>
</cfif>
</cfloop>

Number Found = #foundCount#

Change the 'to' attribute in the loop to whatever maximum you think is necessary.
