This tutorial will show you how to create a form with Captcha, Requirement(s): PHP Server, GD Graphics Library

<?php session_start(); ?>
2.Imagecreate - Create a new palette based image.
$img = imagecreate(40, 20);

$black = imagecolorallocate($img, 0, 0, 0);
4.Displaying the random text on the captcha image
$numero = rand(100, 999);
5.Check if the security code and the session value are not blank and if the input text matches the stored text.
if(($_POST['check']) == $_SESSION['check']){ 
echo 'Input OK';
