Hello All,

I have a website which contains online php forms. The idea is that people fill out these forms and the information then goes into a MySQL database and then reappears on another php page in my website.

Now, this used to work well until recently. Now, lots of these forms get filled with spam - email addresses and the like, which I guess is being filled in by some nastly application.

I guess I need something like an application which asks a user to type in what he/she sees on the screen in order to process onto the online form (I have seeen this on things like Yahoo - but I have no idea how to do this).

Does anybody have any advice on how I can do this?

Many thanks in advance,

Jool

A turing number is what you're talking about...

A quick search of Hotscripts.com :: The net's largest PHP, CGI, Perl, JavaScript and ASP script collection and resource web portal for "turing" gave 14 results, i haven't used any of them but it's worth checking out.

Thanks Brendan22 - I'll try to find something suitable!
