I don't have the time to mess around with the PHP code right now, and it's getting VERY badly attacked by spammers.
I feel your pain. music.columbia.edu hosts a lot of blogs and wiki type sites, and we have a constant stream of spam, like hundreds of messages a minute hitting the server. It's incredible. wikis have become impossible unless someone has a lot of time to devote to them, so we've just turned off all wikis. Blogs generally have to have their comments turned off. Bummer.
I agree with the suggestion that going with a modern CMS rather than home-brew makes sense. We were also being constantly attacked by robots and every time it turned out that someone's custom php upload script or something similar was the security hole.
