This PHP library is used to manage honeypots in HTML forms. It will create the input form and do the necessary checks.
Go to you project root directory and use composer using this command
composer require dominiquevienne/honeypot
Then create your application bootstrap using this kind of code
<?php
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
$oForm = new Dominiquevienne\Honeypot\Form();
echo $oForm->inputs();
- Download latest stable release on Github
- Uncompress the downloaded file
- Place content into your project
- Use similar code to load object
<?php
require __DIR__ . '/honeypot/src/Honeypot.php';
require __DIR__ . '/honeypot/src/Form.php';
$oForm = new Dominiquevienne\Honeypot\Form();
echo $oForm->inputs();
Using honeypot in Laravel is as simple as a
composer require dominiquevienne/honeypot
and add the following lines in your class
<?php
use \Dominiquevienne\Honeypot\Form;
class yourController {
public function show() {
/** some code of yours */
$oForm = new Form();
return $oForm->inputs();
}
}
First of all, go to your root directory of your Drupal 8 project and type
composer require dominiquevienne/honeypot
In the Form controller (where you build your form), add
use Dominiquevienne\Honeypot\Form;
in order to gain access to Honeypot Form constructor.
Instantiate your form using the drupalForm
config array key set to TRUE
Checks are done in the validate function using standard functions.
Once the package is installed the honeypot consists in enabling two steps
Where you will trigger Form::timeCheck() which will store date-time of the Form rendering and trigger Form::honeypotInput() used to return the honeypot form element.
Any of those two options are mandatory.
<?php
$oForm = new Dominiquevienne\Honeypot\Form();
$oForm->timeCheck();
$honeypotInputs = $oForm->inputs();
?>
<html>
<?php
// All your HTML code before your form
?>
<form action="yourLandingPage.php" method="post">
<?php
// The standard fields of your form
echo $honeypotInputs;
?>
<input type="submit"/>
</html>
Be aware that you'll need to hide the honeypot field. To do that, you'll have three solutions
- use CSS (default class is hide)
- remove the element from the DOM using JS (Pure Javascript, jQuery or other). This is already done by using default function
$oForm->inputs()
or by using$oForm->getHoneypotScript()
which would return a script in pure javascript that would remove the honeypot field from the DOM.
Before you do the real job in your script of the landing page of your form (action
attribute of Form element), you will have to use this code
<?php
$oHoneypot = new Dominiquevienne\Honeypot\Honeypot();
$checks = $oHoneypot->checks();
if(!empty($checks)) {
die('Your are a spammer');
}
// your code
When you create the object, you have the ability to pass config values through an array.
<?php
$config = [
'honeypotInputClass' => 'myCssClass',
'honeypotInputNames' => [
'name1',
'name2',
],
'formMethod' => 'GET',
];
$oForm = new Dominiquevienne\Honeypot\Form($config);
This is the mask used to render the input field. You can use Form::getHoneypotInputMask() to get the current value.
This is the CSS class used on the honeypot input field.
This is the HTML type of the input field
Way to force a specific name
Array containing a list in which honeypot will take a random name followed by a hash.
HTTP Method used to send the form
Time in seconds under which a form subscriber will be considered as a bot
Quantity of accepted failures per session before considered as a bot. When the number is reached and failureCheck is ON, every attempt will be considered as a failure during all the session lifetime.
Quantity of accepted attempts per session before considered as a bot. When the number is reached and quantityCheck is ON, every attempt will be considered as a failure during all the session lifetime.
Array of checks to be made when submitting form. By default, checks are ['timeCheck','honeypotCheck','tokenCheck','failureCheck','quantityCheck']
If set to TRUE
, Form::inputs()
will return a Drupal FAPI array instead of raw HTML
