Hi Al This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm sure other people will find this useful as well. If spammers start using it, someone will improve the script e.g. to make the Visual Confirmation more "auto" proof. Currently I see it has plain text in it. Some criss cross lines would help to obfuscate the auto image recognition used by advanced spammers but this is excellent to disable the common auto spammer. Is there some way you could send me: - sendarticle.php - mylinks.php How can we make sure the SendArticle.php has a valid referer? Also I wonder if there's a way to wrap SendArticle.php so it looks like a part of the Wiki site.
thank you for all your help, Eric

What I want to ask then is: Is there a way to pass the pageURL variable to a hidden field of an HTML form? That will help. Then it'll be like the Clickability links of CNN.com, where pages can be emailed with the Link of the page already embedded in the email form.
Eric,
What I've done is edit MonoBook.php to add an include to page with my links as such
Under:
right after: data['newtalk'] ) { ?> $this->html('newtalk') ?>
I added:
In the mylinks.php page, I include; Send this article to a friend
sendarticle.php grabs the URL via referer, runs the function get_title_tag (found on the Internet somewhere) to get the page title and presents a form for the user to fill out which includes a visual confirmation field. It is also important to code this page to ensure that there is a refering page, otherwise bots will try to abuse it by accessing it directly.
