This helper is loaded using the following code:

$this->load->helper('spam');

The following functions are available:

spam_check()

Lets you fetch a random question and its corresponding answer. Example:

 $spam = spam_check();

$answer = $spam['answer']

usage

So how can I actually use this, you ask? We're assuming you're using the form_helper and input library.. With that said, let's take a look...

 $spam = spam_check();



 
$question = $spam['question'];

$answer = $spam['answer'];



$form  =  form_open('submit');

$form .= form_hidden('real_answer', $answer);   // This contatins the real answer

$form .= form_label($question, 'answer');

$form .= form_input('answer');

$form .= form_submit('submit', 'Answer the question!');

$form .= form_close();



// Was the form submitted?

if($this->input->post('answer'))

{

    $user_answer = strtolower($this->input->post('answer'));

    $real_answer = $this->input->post('real_answer');



    // Let's see what's going on

    if($user_answer === $real_answer)

    {

        echo "<h6>Result: Correct!</h6>";

        echo $form;

    }

    else

    {

        echo "<h6>Result: Wrong!</h6>";

        echo $form;

    }

}

else

{

    echo  $form;

}
