Just add another input of text type (you can name it what ever you want, say
fun), you random two values and make another input of hidden type (you can
call it what ever you want, but not the same as the previous, say real), then
on the script where you receive the form you compare the two values
---form page, must pe in this case a php page---
<?PHP
$a=rand(5, 15);
$b=rand(8, 20);
echo "How much is $a+$b?";
?>
<input type="text" name="real" value="<?PHP echo ($a+$b); ?>">
<input type="text" name="fun">
---eof--
--- the receiving script ---
/* Set this in top of your script */
if($_REQUEST['fun']!=$_REQUEST['real']) {
header("Location: http://www.example.com/errorpage.php");
exit;
}
--- eof ---
