Problems creating a captcha in Zend Framework 1.11.11

How can I create a captcha field when I have created the form using conventional html rather than the addElement() methods of ZF? That might sound stupid, but i'm a novice and after 6 hours of straight googling, still no answer.

I was able to add a captcha directly to the view using this code:

<?php 
$form = new Zend_Form();
$captcha = new Zend_Form_Element_Captcha('Captcha', array(
            'captcha' => array(
                'captcha' => 'Image',
                'wordLen' => 6,
                'timeout' => 300,
                'width' => 300,
                'height' => 100,
                'imgUrl' => '/captcha',
                'imgDir' => APPLICATION_PATH . '/../public/captcha',
                'font' => APPLICATION_PATH .     '/../public/fonts/LiberationSansRegular.ttf')));
$form->addElement($captcha);
echo $form;//use this line in view script
$this->view->form = $form //use this line in controller
?>

you could also put the same code into your controller, assign it to the view and then call it in the view like:

<form>
//form stuff html
<?php echo $this->form->captcha ?>
</form>
