CakePHP Askimet Component

Askiment Spam Check for CakePHP

Have all methods necessary to connect with the Askimet api.

• verify key: Key verification need only be used if you will have different users with their own Akismet licenses using your platform. This call will verify that they are using a valid API key.
• comment check: Comment check is used to ask Akismet whether or not a given post, comment, profile etc. is spam
• submit spam and submit ham: Submit Spam and Submit Ham are follow-ups to let Akismet know when it got something wrong (missed spam and false positives). These are also very important and you shouldn’t develop using the Akismet API without a facility to include reporting missed spam and false positives.

For more info on what parameters to pass on each method, check: http://akismet.com/development/api/

Requires

• An Askimet API key: The development key can be got from: http://akismet.com/contact/ and the Askimet API key can be got from: https://akismet.com/signup/ .

Current Version

1.0 Stable

Examples

	var_dump($this->Askimet->verify_key(array('key' => 'yourKey')));
	$params = array(
		'key' => 'yourKey',
		'comment_author' => 'viagra-test-123',
		'comment_author_email' => 'viagratest123@spamcheck.com',
		'comment_author_url' => '',
		'comment_content' => 'testing spam check with askimet',
		'permalink' => 'http://localhost',
		'comment_type' => 'comment',
	//	'debug' => true // enable this flag if you get an error response from comment check
	);
	var_dump($this->Askimet->comment_check($params));
	var_dump($this->Askimet->submit_spam($params));

	$params = array(
		'key' => 'yourKey',
		'comment_author' => 'a-valid-author',
		'comment_author_email' => 'a-valid-email@validomain.com',
		'comment_author_url' => '',
		'comment_content' => 'testing spam check with askimet',
		'permalink' => 'http://localhost',
		'comment_type' => 'comment'
	);
	var_dump($this->Askimet->comment_check($params));
	var_dump($this->Askimet->submit_ham($params));

Notes

• Currently it is structured to work with CakePHP v2.x, but I believe that with a few tweaks it can easily works with previous versions
