Or you could use the human verification test mod posted there http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5057&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
It will also prevent the comments from beeing spammed.

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent

wich is the problem?
Thank you.

session_start() should always come first in a php script, right after the '<?php' line. If you output anything to the server before this call then you'll have this error.

Also make sure the first line of all your php scripts is "<?php".
Anything else will be interpreted by php as html to be outputed directly and headers will be sent to the client browser at that time. The same problem can come from the end of included files, make sure there is nothing right after the ending line : "?>". In some cases a simple CARRIAGE RETURN (ascii-13) or LINE FEED (ascii-10) could be the problem and... a nightmare to find !

Sessions are used in this mod to save the verification number generated in image.php for addentry.php and comment.php that will check it.

Hope this helps.

Well, I should say, that I only had a quick look at Carbonize code just now. At first sight, it seems that it lacks the code to protect the comments to be spammed and doesn't seem to be "almost identical" at all as "my" code is mainly the code of Mert ÷–‹T that I found googling for an anti flood solution while Carbonize code seems to be original.
And the only "little" work I've done is to integrate the "Gitme Anti Flood" code into this mod.

Anyway, It works for me, I'm happy with this and I just wanted to share my work. And I won't feel sorry if some people aren't interested.

I'm just sorry to not having read the "READ THIS BEFORE POSTING ANY QUESTIONS!" thread. Btw, now that I've read some more of these forums, I think too, as someone else said, that the image verification should be included in the original Advanced Guest Book code and not as a mod.
And as I had no questions to ask, I didn't felt I had to read the "READ THIS BEFORE POSTING ANY QUESTIONS!" thread, and as the sticky post is a (too) simple (for me) human verification test and not the image verification test, this is why I felt I had to write this.

So you know.

I definitely didn't look well enough on this forum but as any image verification code is a must have...

BTW : An error in the code I first posted prevent it from beeing usefull.
Here is the mod to the mod if you had it already installed.

Edit : same problem with comments :
