have a PHP example using reCAPTCHA if anyone is interested.

Interestingly enough there are some sites that don't even bother with
true captcha, just a standard image that is always the same, but robots
don't know that. Check Jeff Atwood's blog comment entry
(www.coddinghorror.com) for an example. That image _always_ says
"orange" but it's all but eliminated his spam.
