I need the restrictions on access, but I ALSO need captcha...

I also need this - does anyone have a fix?

Hi,

I just used a_berezin's found_error_space.php debug script and I got this result:

Bad files - 8
Replace ending "?>" by "// EOF" ?

What does the 2nd line mean? And should I check it off to fix the files?

Thanks.

Where does one get "a_berezin's found_error_space.php" from?

TIA

I had the same thing .......and found somewhere a post by someone else saying that it was not working
all we get was the space where the image should be but no image
then i also uploaded the 3 php files that came with the captcha ttf download wich are captcha_debug.php captcha_img.php captcha_test.php once i ran those three files it all kicked in and worked perfect...... It didn't really state in the setup directions clearly that this step was needed but after i did that it all worked fine.

Nice work Andrew Berezin!

Hi - installed my Captcha and I have checked that all files are where they should be;
accessing the contact me page - the only captcha I have live - gives me a blank page, but when I check Captcha, run captcha _debug or captcha_test, I get the follwing error message:
1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'in:
Any halp will be apprciated

My Captcha is working just fine; however I would like a one-line explanation above the Captcha - how & where should I enter this?

Thank you very much for this Mod.

Just a minor question:
Any particular reason why the Redraw button is not an hyperlink?

Thanks.

Ive had Captcha installed for a while now and had noticed on my localhost windoze test machine that I often got an 'incorrect validation code message' for several attempts, even tho the code entered was correct. I have now had complaints from customers that they cannot log in due to the same problem on my Live site.
Ive now disabled CAPTCHA but getting the spambots again.
Any explanation why it works intermittently?

I have the same problem. Just noticed that if you do something wrong while creating an account (like leaving out your email address) you also get the 'incorrect validation code message' from CAPTCHA (which is not the case). Than after correcting the "mistake" (like putting an email address) and putting the new CAPTCHA code, again the'incorrect validation code message' from CAPTCHA pops up. This can go on for 3-5 times and than it accepts it. I am 100% sure that the code is correctly put...

anyone know why this could be happening?
