Submit Form Issue, Submitting a form action and form method Options

I just want to confirm the bot trap that you made.
1. I have to create a field named “trap.” Correct ?
2. If yes, I take it that I would have to include that field on the submit page! Correct?
3. Then I could create the HTML, CSS and if($_POST && !$_POST['trap']).
Is that the general that is the concept?
Thanks

The HTML input has to be on every page you want to protect against bot attacks. I called it 'trap' but you can call it anything you want, just make sure you change all the 'trap' names to whatever you will use. That's all there is to it.

Forum,
We have an age requirement for our volunteers. They must be at least 16 years old.
How could I do a php age validation so that if they are under 16, a message comes up that says that they do not meet the age requirement and the form does not submit

You would need to add a date field to your form (or 3, month - day - year). Then you need to change the PHP script to handle that information. You can use PHP's date functions to calculate the difference in dates and report an error, if needed.

Why not simply use a checkbox saying "I'm at least 16 years old"?
