Can anyone tell me or help me make a php page that creates a security code for a user registration page.

Thanks. Remember I am only starting out with PHP, so if you can explain it a bit, that would be helpful

Can you be more specific?

Please note, most forum members (in any forum, not just this one) will ignore posts with titles that mention URGENT, deadline, needs to be done by Thursday, etc.

ok bdlang. I want to have a PHP codes that creates a image that has letters and numbers in it, then have a textbox on the same page. The letter you type in the textbox have to match the images' ones inorder to submit you registration. Something like hotmail's registration has, as well as many other sites.

It's a means to combat spam - but I wouldn't call it "cool".

What would you call "cool", then? Your response to my comment?
