Hi Joseph,
<?php
// check the answer
if ($_POST['human_verifier'] != 'blue')
{
// incorrect
echo 'Robot! Get out!');
}
else
{
// correct
echo 'Welcome, Human.';
}
?>
You can make that a little more foolproof by setting the case of the text
before matching, upper or lower it doesn't matter, but either way it'll
prevent answers like Blue, BLUE, bLuE, etc. from triggering the "Robot! Get
out!" error.
Respectfully,
Mike Cherim

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 *
