This is the second try for this post, hopefully it doesnt get deleted as the last one did... I can only assume that the reason it was removed was because I put a link to my example.

Essentially I am wondering what the general thoughts are for using a PHP randomly generated 6 digit number to use as human verification. Currently my forms generate a 6 digit number, I ask it to be filled into the appropriate box, and check the number after the form is submitted, if it is wrong, I never see the submission. Since I implemented this I have cut my form submission SPAM down to ZERO, and it appears to work great!

Any comments on using this technique? I had thought about looking into the graphical human verification methods, but this way seems WAY easier, and just as effective. Thoughts? (I will post a link to my example if someone tells me how to do this without having my post removed without notice)

You may post it, a mod probably deleted it because a link was in it and you have one post, I grant you permission to post the link

thanks for your reply (I thought it may have been due to the link, but I saw a number of other posts with links included, so didnt expect any issues)

At any rate, the page that I am using the random number for verification is at

Maybe change Prove Your Human, to Verification Code, and good idea on putting it in the form, and not at the bottom, and an image would not look good there, leave it text
