				Hi All again,
 
 
I've been working on a directory script. A month or so ago I inquired about the captcha script.
 
 
Since then I started validating email addresses with PHP and validating IPs against a log of banned ip's (nested in a php file). 
 
 
So the question is do I really need to add the captcha code as a third layer of spam protection?

This is not a working directory yet. I have to switch domain names. Just using this url as a test. It will still work long after I got the new domain, just nice to be able have a test url.

				Depends on if you think spammers can get by your first 2 layers. In all cases, the more protection you got, the better you are :P
 
 
As a side note, this needs to be moved to the off-topic forum :D _________________ Where have i been? School got heck-tick, had to move half way around the state, then back... and then i had to change jobs, so iv been away for a while :P |
