I get a lot of spam registration which I'm trying to sort out.
I added the following lines of code to catalog -> controller -> account -> register.php because most of the spam telephone number start with 8
if ((utf8_substr($this->request->post['telephone'],0,1) == '8')) {
$this->error['telephone'] = $this->language->get('error_telephone');
}
I put the line just after this one.
if ((utf8_strlen($this->request->post['telephone']) < 3) || (utf8_strlen($this->request->post['telephone']) > 32)) {
$this->error['telephone'] = $this->language->get('error_telephone');
}
But it appears to be ignoring the new line.
I've also tried != '0' in place of =='8' but still doesn't stop it.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong please?
Regards
Pete
Not really sure why you think what you are doing will help, but you could just use || or

Hi Mona,
I thought it would help by creating a "Telephone number" error and not let the registration go through.
I don't know how spam things work so I may be totally wrong.
Thanks for the links. I had searched the extensions but obviously looking for the wrong thing as I couldn't find any.

@wolfdogpete: Spambots are not human users, they are automated scripts trying to do fake account registrations. And from our experience they use amongst others all sorts of different phone number values. I recommend our SpamBot Buster extension which is able to prevent fake account registrations and spam messages quite effectively. Also, no captcha is required.

Hi JNeuhoff
I installed your spambot buster last night and this is the first morning fot quite a while that I haven't got up to over 100 spam registrations.
I actually woke up to NONE.
Exellent plugin so far. Good work and thank you.

Further to the author's post (WolfDogPete) of 16 Feb 2023, I made the changes to the register.php file that Pete (unsuccessfully) tried, and it worked perfectly for me. I have even turned off my Google reCaptcha now for a better user experience. Thanks Pete!
Trying to do a quick hack that might break stuff when extensions exist that fix the issue properly:
