RE: [PHP] where's waldo

Or, a simple way... When you show your image, make sure it is a form submit button of 'type=image'. On the PHP side you know the X and Y co-ordinates of waldo. When the user clicks on the image, the place they clicked on the image is passed along the URL in 'x' and 'y' variables. On the PHP side, check if their co-ordinates are close enough, if so give them the next (harder) image. If they're not near enough, make sure they get served a 'sorry - try again' message followed by the same image. That should work, yeah? I used to do spot the ball competitions this way at least...
