thanks for your reply, I seen the thread posted and it worked successfully when it came to validating the captcha. The problem came where it validated and it correctly said it was wrong but still registered. It must be a logical condition error that I have done and will look into. Thanks for your reply and help. One question though, do you have any knowlege on what "$reg" is/does or where exactly does it register. This would be very beneficial in writing the correct condition.
