If you want to avoid captchas, my recommendation would be to add a
question that would foil a robot. Just explain that this field is for
that specifically.
Something like:
<fieldset>
<legend>Human Verification</legend>
<p>This section is used to thwart evil spam robots. Fill in the correct
answer.</p>
<div>
<label>What color is the sky? (hint: blue)</label>
<input type="text" name="human_verifier">
</div>
</fieldset>
You're PHP would be:
<?php
// check the answer
if ($_POST['human_verifier'] != 'blue')
{
// incorrect
echo 'Robot! Get out!');
}
else
{
// correct
echo 'Welcome, Human.';
}
?>
This is obviously a very, very simple solution but it has worked on
reducing/removing form spam on a couple of my sites quite well while
being an accessible solution. I'm welcome to an contradictory thoughts
on this.

* Hi All, *
* This is a mixed question, I have a contact form that I’m building.
I want to add a human verifier to the forms but not a captcha one
because they are far from accessible, I’m not that good at PHP
though to figure it out, I already use the Mikes Green Beast form
for general contact but this will be to process order request. I’ve
trawled the internet but all I can find is captcha solutions, can
any one point me in the right direction? *

* Many thanks *
