The concept of using images which are readable by a human but hopefully not by 
a 
program is complex. It's called captcha. See:

- http://captchas.net
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha
- CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network), but you mentioned PHP (shudder :-)
- Print version: http://sam.zoy.org/pwntcha/
        o http://www.w3.org/TR/turingtest/#security
        o Captcha test (Completely Automated Public Test to tell Humans and 
Computers 
Apart)

I see the list moderator does not see this as relevant to this list, but I 
think 
as long as it's an image-processing problem using ImageMagick then I personally 
will (plausibly) argue that it is in fact relevant.
