image form validator

Frequently forms on web pages require a code to be typed in that comes from a randomly generated image. anyone know where to find code to do this?

thanks,
joe

Dunno, but in the meantime you can read up on it here:

thanks for the pointer, that led me to
http://www.protectwebform.com
which provides a service for forms, emails, and wordpress....

there are probably others, if I find them I'll post it....

How do you feel about relying on a third-party external service for your contact form Captcha vs. using a script to generate your own Captcha?

I'd rather have code sitting on my server doing the work, but so far haven't found a source for it... then again I've only started looking a few days ago... are you aware of available software? I've no objections to paying a reasonable amount for well structured, documented, supportable code.
