Are there any php functions/libs/etc to detect if a user is behind a proxy or not?
I've been having a spam problem on my site, where people sign up and act extremely abusive to other users of my site.

Using a `<textarea>` to protect against scripts
Hmm. Instead of "defanging" input or using some kind of regex to remove tags, how safe is it to dump user stuff into a <textarea>?

Revealing an image bit by bit?
I'm trying to get it so, every time someone donates a set amount on a page, another equal portion of an image is revealed.
