Thanks for your answers guys, I appreciate your thoughts and I will give that Captcha generator a try for sure. With there being over 1 trillion unique URL's, I think it is fairly safe not to expect someone to come to my particular website and create a program to get through the security. Who knows though. I did read a tutorial about stripping tags etc from the entered text, that is also a great solution.

Hi Jimbo, I was watching some tutorials online the other day and this You-Tube film shows just how Notepad++ and a Browser are used together. Just to complement what genericnumber1 has said. I hope this helps you. Steady Breezes Robert

Ok, sort of a newbie here. Using captcha you normally get a code to generate images with the text or symbols in it, you can of course use your own images. Here is my question: How do you know if those images you made yourself are safe to use, in other words how to know the robots can't read the text or symbols on them? Here is an image I produced, is it safe? If not, why not. How can I make it safe? PS, you can take a look at it working [here]. This site is still under construction. I also made it so you can enlarge it when using your mouse over. Older people need that you know, they are blind Ha Ha.... By the way the larger version and the smaller one are two different images. Thanks for your help guys. Steady Breezes Robert

Boy, thanks for the fast reaction, That gave me this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_get_contents() in c:\phpdev\www\....\totalplus.php on line 246 Sorry, it did work. Thank you so much, boy I should have come here yesterday. Take care,

Hi all, I am sort of a newbie at this and I have been trying to find the answer through online tutorials but have not been able to find the stuff I want. That is why I came to the professionals and hope that one of you can help me. I just want to make a simple addition. I have a page counter set up that plants the outcome to a txt file. The txt file has nothing but a number in it. Now I know how to print out that number by using either "include" or "require", but I want to use that number from the txt file in an addition. I have placed a simple code below to give you an idea to what I am after. I want to add last months total to what is going on right know, so the number in the txt file is variable but last months number of course isn't so we can just write that down. Can anybody help me solve this? <?php $last_month = 243; $index_file = "inc/index.txt"; //this is where the fault is but how?? $a = $last_month; $b = $index_file; $c = $a+$b; echo 'Last month we had ';echo $a ;echo '<br>'; echo 'So far this month we have '; echo $b ;echo '<br>'; echo 'That is a temporary total of '; echo $c ; ?> Steady Breezes all Softkites
