A buddy at The Webmaster Forums asked me to create a basic php form for reciprocal link submissions for Corporate Internet Solutions, a web hosting provider.

Everyday task, right? But I didn't have any model handy.

I adapted a basic open source script from HotScripts. I added some basic validation for the email and the url.

For spam control, I added a test if the mouse is over the submit button (this usually works pretty well, and is much less annoying than captcha)

The files feedback.php and thanks html need some minor customizations for your needs. You will probably need to change the form.

One nice feature is you can add or remove form fields without modifying the php script. It will also remove any malicious characters from the input.
