Should i use those picture number fields on my php forms?

Bananna man · 2006-09-06 12:17:58

Hey, When i write php forms for registration to a website and so on, should i use those things i've seen on other sites where you have to re-print what is written on a little image i.e. the image has 765 on it so you type 765 in the textfield provided? If so, can someone tell me how to set something like this up? Thanks

Personally, I wouldn't bother unless you have a problem with bots spamming your sites. Even then, many of the sophisticated ones will have ways around those images, it turns out they're not that hard to get around.

Besides, KittenAuth is far cuter.
