it's nice ... but maybe Registration form needs some more work (validation for instance and perhaps captcha).

yes u are rite. but why i didnt used a captcha is that i have a function that first validate if the request is from a Human user, if it's a "BOT" a captcha will be displayed
a used some php globals
$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']
$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']

to create the function,
All it does is check the values of both $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] and $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']. If they
both have a value, then it returns FALSE; otherwise, it returns TRUE.(which will not show u the captcha)

@binkabir:
If it was so easy to detect automated scripts, captcha would never have been invented. All the variables you mentioned are very easy to fake. Check for example the curl support in PHP. You can set pretty much any header information in a request. So i strongly advise to always show the captcha image.
