Just curious, and naieve!

If you are running an unpatched version of Advanced Guestbook 2.2. yes we can log in at will.

Yup you definately have no problem with XHTML and CSS going off the first link in that, or is that not yours? http://www.google.com/search?q=javascript+stylesheet

Yes that was I. Image verification would only be needed for popular scripts. Spammers do not check the form they just send the data straight to you so changing the inputs of a popular script should stop them.

Ignore my last post. Undo the previous idea of mine and instaed change var $imagick = ''; to var $imagick = 'none';

I thikn the problem is that your host has imagemagick installed but then stops you using it. go figure. Wonder if I can bypass it.

How do you get the data from this "script"? I'm sure it would only take a few minutes to throw together a simple script to do it better.

wow no checking what so ever. I can even post with no comment at all. I could fix it by changing the names of the inputs but it appears to get passed to a program that is on your webserver. I'd suggest looking on www.hotscripts.com for a different script.

I'll make some test posts using my name, feel free to delete them.

Cheap fix. Open lib/image.class.php and replacewith

I sent to webmaster@ will now send to jason@

I need to look into the actual script to see what inputs it demands. With the advanced guestbook it will reject posts that do not have a name or message and so you simply edit the name of the name input.

I'd suggest downloading it from here and starting again. Hosts are notorious for mangling scripts and making them worthless.

It usually comes with PHP, you must of chose not to compile it.

As suspected GD is not compiled on your system. GD is how PHP creates graphics and is used by all image verification scripts hence it not working.

Are you using a well known script? Spammers only target well used scripts. What script is it and link me if you please.
