I am new with php and here is a simple guessbook page but I am being hit with spam from a group of the same email. I know I need to do an IF statement but I am kinda foggy on how to do the code.
What I want to do is make an file that has email address that I want to block and code to call it up to make sure the people that are signing it is not one of the spamers.
Here is my code for the page. Just need help on where to nest the code to call up the blocked email to stop them from posting.
Also if any one knows how to disable html coding from being displayed as well would be helpful.
Code: [Select]<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
