    Greetings Everyone,

    After viewing Chris’s tutorial on 62-advanced-form-styling-functionality I decided to chose it and used it in a clients site. I changed the form slightly with different options. Changed some of the code in the header to reflect these changes. I developed this site locally using Xampp so I couldn’t test the forms. Now they are on a live site and the forms don’t actually work. I don’t know why. Would someone be willing to look over this code to see if something is off for me?

    Code:

    >
    There was a hacking attempt on your form. n
    Date of Attack: {$date}
    IP-Adress: {$ip} n
    Host of Attacker: {$host}
    Point of Attack: {$where}
    << End of Message >>
    LOG;
    // Awkward but LOG must be flush left

    // open log file
    if($handle = fopen(‘hacklog.log’, ‘a’)) {

    fputs($handle, $logging); // write the Data to file
    fclose($handle); // close the file

    } else { // if first method is not working, for example because of wrong file permissions, email the data

    $to = ‘[email protected]’;
    $subject = ‘HACK ATTEMPT’;
    $header = ‘From: [email protected]’;
    if (mail($to, $subject, $logging, $header)) {
    echo “Sent notice to admin.”;
    }

    }
    }

    function verifyFormToken($form) {

    // check if a session is started and a token is transmitted, if not return an error
    if(!isset($_SESSION[$form.’_token’])) {
    return false;
    }

    // check if the form is sent with token in it
    if(!isset($_POST[‘token’])) {
    return false;
    }

    // compare the tokens against each other if they are still the same
    if ($_SESSION[$form.’_token’] !== $_POST[‘token’]) {
    return false;
    }

    return true;
    }

    function generateFormToken($form) {

    // generate a token from an unique value, took from microtime, you can also use salt-values, other crypting methods…
    $token = md5(uniqid(microtime(), true));

    // Write the generated token to the session variable to check it against the hidden field when the form is sent
    $_SESSION[$form.’_token’] = $token;

    return $token;
    }

    // VERIFY LEGITIMACY OF TOKEN
    if (verifyFormToken(‘form1’)) {

    // CHECK TO SEE IF THIS IS A MAIL POST
    if (isset($_POST[‘req-phone’])) {

    // Building a whitelist array with keys which will send through the form, no others would be accepted later on
    $whitelist = array(‘token’,’req-name’,’req-email’,’req-phone’,’req-position’, ‘curText’, ‘save-stuff’);

    foreach ($_POST as $key=>$item) {

    // Check if the value $key (fieldname from $_POST) can be found in the whitelisting array, if not, die with a short message to the hacker
    if (!in_array($key, $whitelist)) {

    writeLog(‘Unknown form fields’);
    die(“Hack-Attempt detected. Please use only the fields in the form”);

    }
    }

    // Lets check the URL whether it’s a real URL or not. if not, stop the script

    if(!filter_var($_POST[‘URL-main’],FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)) {
    writeLog(‘URL Validation’);
    die(‘Hack-Attempt detected. Please insert a valid URL’);

    To clarify this post. I have edited this form a few times over the past month. I don’t expect a hand out, just someone who knows php to check and see if I combined something in the php which is preventing it from functioning correctly.
