I added 5 random fonts along with 31 random backgrounds to the CAPTCHA

This is the modified CAPTCHA version I use now (I just updated it again)

You can install it, just replace your /captcha-secureimage/ folder with this one.

Version: 1.4 - 28-Jan-2010 - Added setting to enable or disable form fieldset border.
- Simplified blank field messages (and removed the word "error" from them).
- Text labels changes: 'E-Mail' change to 'Email', 'e-mail' changed to 'email'.
- CAPTCHA function can now report server cookie problems.

The following works: <img src="./images/ctf-loading.gif" alt="Returning to Home Page" />&nbsp;&nbsp;
Returning to Home Page...

but
<img src="./images/contact/ctf-loading.gif" alt="Returning to Home Page" />&nbsp;&nbsp;
Returning to Home Page...
results in "Returning to Home Page Returning to Home Page..."

Though no big deal, I like to know why the second option failed.

It would do that if the image was not found in the path you changed it to.

Hello,

I have started to use your script. It is on my villa rental website which I am writing (www.samuiholidayvillarental.com). The email sends, but i get error message and no thankyou page. I am a beginner with only text editor so I cannot debug. Please Help!

What was the error?
and what is the URL to the contact page?

My main page validates, but all other pages do not (error or message sent) Getting this messsage:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /virtual/users/e15586-16411/web/top.php:101) in /virtual/users/e15586-16411/web/captcha-secureimage/securimage.php on line 422

Your contact page has to have session_start at the top before any other output or you will get that error.
This code must be at the top of your PHP script:

Code:

<?php
 # mchallis says "session_start is required for the captcha-image to function,
 # and must be at the very top of the PHP script."
 # session_start() must be processed before any other output
 # or you might get a warning "headers already sent".
  if( !isset( $_SESSION ) ) {
    session_start();
  }
?>

I guess I need to get in the habit of checking for the latest version. There were many changes.
Thanks.

Hi Mike;

I installed this script for a friend and it's awesome - thank you!
Quick question - I'm using 1.40 and how do I enable the random color/fonts options like on your contact form?

All we have is the ugly black & white one
