I store all of the searches that are made on my website so i can identify what my customers want. One of the recent searches look like this

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit x-: 18938d774e16326063c819c92eea0050 Content-Type: text/plain Subject: to: censoredforpost@aol.com

Sadly i only store searches in a tinytext mysql field so i am not sure if this is the whole attack.

My website is using php so i figured that it was best to ask you guys as you would know wot attacks are used against php. It looks like this is an attempt to send an email can you tell me what type of attack this is? or what they are attempting if i am wrong?

It's just a badly written spam bot testing your search box to see if it can get it to send spam emails. It can't so no worries.
