Question Potential http referrer issue

Hi All,

I have a question for you programming/server gurus.

My company's webhosting provider is blaming my php form script for knocking down their servers. They're saying our bandwidth increase overloaded the servers; which i find hard to believe or if it did I'm angry and surprised.

I used the following script to block form spammers from using our form to send emails:

<?php if ($_POST && $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] == "http://www.domain.ca/thankyou.php") {



Not the best preventative measure but it was a quick fix until we finish redesigning our new website.

let me know what you think.

Thanks,
SR
