I start using a PayPal shopping cart. SPAM robots are generally evidently reading the email inside the < form>. Remember to note:
- The PayPal wagon uses a < form> for every product.
- 500 merchandise means 500 < form> unique codes.
- I apply PHP includes, thus each < form> code has specific to it. inc file.
- Problem: I will be getting spam for the email address indexed by the < form>.
- Can possibly not use filters. Excessive risk of filtering out a customer message.
- Best answer: change the mail address periodically.
In brief summary, currently I am faced when using the task of possibly (a) bi-annual modifying of my email address on FIVE-HUNDRED. inc files, as well as (b) weekly sorting as well as deleting of FIVE-HUNDRED emails selling Viagra.
Is there the right way to edit just one file, and include this change your email address at all 500 files
(I assume it’s not feasible to put an include call inside of an included file which is called inside of your < form>. )
Possibly the answer is this: to set-up a PHP script that replaces the form. Then, instead with 500 separate contain files—only one learn file, in that your 500 forms are generally listed. The PHP script describes this master track to write one form, as " called" inside the script.
While… I only really need to use the standard Notepad Edit > Exchange feature, to change most of 500 instances with the email address, simply because are all available as one file.
Is this the best way to proceed And if so, would it be quick work for a PHP programmer Regards anyone.
Example with the < form> computer code:
< table> < tr> < td> 20472-7< /td> < td> < mode target=" paypal" action=" https: //www. paypal. com/cgi-bin/webscr" method=" post" > < insight type=" image" src=".. /pix//cartadd. gif" border=" 0" name=" submit" align=" left" class=" cartadd" alt=" Click to order A SINGLE. Can add additional or remove in checkout. " > < insight type=" hidden" name=" add" value=" 1" > < insight type=" hidden" name=" cmd" value=" _cart" > < insight type=" hidden" name=" business" value=" xxxVitaminShelf. com" > < insight type=" hidden" name=" item_name" value=" Day-to-day One no-iron 30cap (Twinlab) 40% Discount" > < insight type=" hidden" name=" item_number" value=" 20472-7" > < insight type=" hidden" name=" amount" value=" HALF A DOZEN. 45" > < insight type=" hidden" name=" no_shipping" value=" 2" > < insight type=" hidden" name=" return" value=" http: //www. vitaminshelf. com/confirmation/" > < insight type=" hidden" name=" cancel_return" value=" http: //www. vitaminshelf. com/cancellation/" > < insight type=" hidden" name=" currency_code" value=" USD" > < /form> < /td> < td> Day-to-day One no-iron 30cap (Twinlab) 40% Price cut $6. 45< /td> < /tr> < /table>
Well will probably be able to fit this code inside another file which you link to externally, kinda as a SSI file (Server-Side Include) track. Depending on what exactly format you’re using, you can make use of either. shtml,. php
< insight type=" image" src=".. /pix//cartadd. gif" border=" 0" name=" submit" align=" left"
class=" cartadd" alt=" Click to order A SINGLE. Can add additional or remove in checkout. " >
< insight type=" hidden" name=" add" value=" 1" >
< insight type=" hidden" name=" cmd" value=" _cart" >
< insight type=" hidden" name=" business" value=" xxxVitaminShelf. com" >
< insight type=" hidden" name=" item_name" value=" Day-to-day One no-iron 30cap (Twinlab) 40% Discount" >
< insight type=" hidden" name=" item_number" value=" 20472-7" >
< insight type=" hidden" name=" amount" value=" HALF A DOZEN. 45" >
< insight type=" hidden" name=" no_shipping" value=" 2" >
< insight type=" hidden" name=" return" value=" http: //www. vitaminshelf. com/confirmation/" >
< insight type=" hidden" name=" cancel_return" value=" http: //www. vitaminshelf. com/cancellation/" >
< insight type=" hidden" name=" currency_code" value=" USD" >
Could you not just make use of an email address that is only for PayPal and you also don’t care about actual emails delivered to it
Errr… that’s what I will be doing already. The matter is to switch the email correct in 500 incorporate files for FIVE HUNDRED products.
I already make it happen, too. The problem is the fact that some customers will click " reply" towards PayPal notification–this sends a reply to my PayPal-dedicated e mail address.
I could refine this further with the following measures:
ONE PARTICULAR. Set my filters to take only mail by PayPal, when my PayPal-dedicated address is used.
A COUPLE OF. All such snail mail not from PayPal would go to an autoresponder in which says, " You used the wrong email address. Thanks to spam problems, this specific address only will take emails from PayPal. Please re-send your email to that address: < unique contact address>. "
This specific " special speak to address" then can be changed if it gets spam–and may never get spam, because spammers never read replies.
Nonetheless, asking an impatient buyer to " re-send your own email" is not the most beneficial policy. It would be better to alter my PayPal e-mail periodically. So, an easy approach to changing this electronic mail in 500 forms is what I hope for! But, maybe it’s an excess of to hope with regard to…
