    Use this script in your contact form, for you whois query tool or just there where some extra validation is needed. A session will be created inside a dynamic image file (requires GD library). The random value of this image appears inside the generated image. The user has to enter this value into formfield. This value will be checked while processing the form. Without entering this value a form will not be processed.

    <?php /*
    example of usage:

    inside your form
    <input type="text" name="validator" id="validator" size="4" />
    <img src="random.php" alt="" width="60" height="20" vspace="1" align="top" />

    and test the value of the "validator" form field like:
    if (!empty($_POST['validator']) && $_POST['validator'] == $_SESSION['rand_code']) {
    process your form here
    at least destroy the session
    unset($_SESSION['rand_code']);
    */

    // save this code in your random script

    NEW! Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act: Web accessibility compliance

    Because access to government information continues to be an area of concern for many U.S. citizens with disabilities, the U.S. government enacted Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act in 2001 to ensure that government agencies create accessible Web content, enabling all citizens to access the information they need. A fully accessible Web site makes Web content accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities, who may be accessing Web content via a variety of user agents.
