Are you sick of captcha questions once you fill out a form on a website? Guess what! Your potential clients are sick of it too. Sometimes I just can't seem to urge a captcha right. Am I alleged to be caps sensitive? Or Not? What order are the characters really in? Is that a five or an S or simply a random squiggle? to form matters worse - while my captchas are deterring your real clients, the spambots are becoming around them somehow on your web design!

Here may be a surefire thanks to cut down on your spam without having those nasty captcha forms annoy your web visitors.

On the shape itself add a field that's set to not display... for instance ...
On the processing page use a conditional to see if the spambot (who is the just one who would see the field) filled out that field then stop the form from processing if that field is filled out... or more simply - only process the form if your field has no content... for instance ...

if ($funnynamegoesherewhateveryouwant == '') {

Hope that helps you out and slows down the spam. Surely this may stop working at some point as spambots outsmart us again on the other hand maybe we'll have something new. or even they're going to realize that sending random characters to a web form with incorrect email addresses doesn't even have any gainful purpose.
