Okay, one last post. :)
I was not referring to how hard it would be to automate the server-side
part of this function. I was saying that it would still be possible,
perhaps using an OCR program, to automate making new accounts on the
client side, even when they have to type in what a generated image
says. Sorry for the confusion.
Generating an image on the fly and having them
write the contents of
the image into a form field? While it would still be possible to
automate that, it would be much more difficult. Does anyone object or
have any other ideas?
I just want to point out, without starting a language war, that I know
that such a thing is trivial in PHP. > Simply using `file` on the submitted files

This is to be totally automated? It seems that some sort of
administrator
is necessary to say yay or nay to uploads.
