After downloading the class, we add the class.akismet.php file. The follow is to create an instance of the class and assign parameters:

• apikey: api key of Akismet
• name: name of the user that send the form
• email: email of the user that send the form
• message: message to validate
• type: form type (comment, trackback, pingback, registration)

Validating form:

In order to validate if the content of the form is SPAM, we would use the isSpam method, which respond true whenever the content is detected as SPAM; otherwise, it respond false.

Example:

<?php

require_once("class.akismet.php");



$akismet = new Akismet();

$akismet->apikey = "369ddb227ecb";

$akismet->name = "John Doe";

$akismet->email = "johndoe@example.com";

$akismet->message = "Hi, my name is John...";

if ($akismet->isSpam()) {

	echo "SPAM!!!";

} else {

	echo "Ok";

}

?>

To report a message as SPAM you must use the submitSpam method.

<?php

$akismet->email = "viagra@example.com";

$akismet->message = "Hello...";
