Require email inputs the same on contact form

Question

Hi there folks,
2 part question;
I'm using Dreamweaver CS5, and have a couple of contact forms on my websites set up. They work fine, but lately have been inundated with spam. Mostly simple automated bots that waste my time. I don't want to install a captcha setup.
I currently require people input their email address twice, in case they make a typo, and while both fields are required, it allows them to both contain different inputs; for example, email 1 might be [email protected] and the 2nd one might be www.spamlink.com .. etc. I think if they were required to be the same, it'd fix most of the problems.
Here's part of my foms
<form action="/xxx-example.pl" method="post" name="Image Inquiry" id="Image Inquiry">
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="My Site Print Form Order" />
<input type="hidden" name="required" value="email,email 2,Client Name," />
and then this
<td align="left" valign="middle"><span class="Form">Your email:</span></td>
                      <td align="left" valign="middle"><input name="email" type="textbook" id="Client Email" size="20" maxlength="30" /></td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr align="left" valign="top">
                      <td align="left" valign="middle"><span class="Form">Re-enter email: </span> </td>
                      <td align="left" valign="middle"><input name="email 2" type="textbook" id="Client email 2" size="20" maxlength="30" /></td>
What I want is to require the inputs in both of those fields be the same (and both be email addresses).
Also, I'd like to have a simple question, such as "What is four plus five" where the user must input "9" for the form to go through. Or really anything where I require a specified input.
I'm not a php person or javascript or anything, so if someone can help me get this working, I'll probably need very basic and specific info; anything else will lose me. I've tried different "honeypot" methods and nothing seems to work properly.
Thanks so much
Cheers
Carl

Answer 1

I didn't realize that validation had to be server side in the script,
Validation can be done client side using javascript, but only in addition to server side. For example, you might want to use client side validation to alert the user to a mistake before they submit the form. But, you also must use server side validation as spammers will bypass any client side validation.
How on earth do I find someone who can do that?
You either need to find a web developer that knows perl (there are plenty) or find a php developer (lots of them) to redo your script in php.
Another alternative is to use a product like formstogo (http://www.bebosoft.com/products/formstogo/overview/) which will create your script and probably has all of the validation features you want.
