Captcha using TTF & GD

Woodymon:

v.3.5 works fine on php 4.4.4 shop. But PHP 5.1.6 shop did get any better. Oops! I meant v2.5.

installed the mod, however there is no image showing
there is a "re-draw" button but no image:down:

OK. Solved the "Cannot redeclare class..." problem. I had to delete some old files that had file names with *.php.bak.

Still having a display problem with Contact Us page...

Still having a display problem with Contact Us page...From the look of your source it appears you may have removed a chunk out of the \includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\templates\tpl_contact_us_default.php that comes with the mod. Try reuploading that file.

Woody!
Enter direct address in your browser - http://<your_domain>/captcha_img.php.
What you see? And what you see in html source code?

v 2.5a 24.03.2007 16:00

1. Add captcha_debug.php.

Firefox says:

The image “http://www.domain.com/shop/captcha_img.php” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

I tried v.2.5a:

1. Copied updated includes/classes/captcha.php
2. Copied new captcha_debug.php
3. Pointed browser to http://www.domain.com/shop/captcha_debug.php or to http://domain.com/shop/captcha_debug.php
4. Firefox web browser displays empty page

If I view the empty browser page's "generated source" (with Firefox web developer) all I see is:

<html><head></head></html>

Here is what my host reported back regarding the inability to display the captcha image when running the script on the host with PHP5:

I have checked the php.ini of both servers, and while there are significant differences between php4 and php5, the same set of functions are restricted on either server. So the only significant difference between the two hosts is the version of php.
Then he suggested moving the shop back to a host running PHP4. That's not going to happen.

Any others out there running this captcha script (even the new 2.5a debug script) on PHP5? If so which versions?

Sorry, Woody. I can't help you.

Anyone else have this mod working on PHP 5.x?

i think i found where the problem is:

SEO Urls are cusing the file to be renamed:
captcha_img**.php.html**?zenid=1e4a50...
it's adding the extra .html after the file ext. i'll try to find a way to remove it :lol:

Thanks, Woody. I looked and looked and looked, and I couldn't figure it out. So I just put the whole CAPTCHA thing in <fieldset>, and it was happy.

Woody!
I add some debug settings to captcha_debug.php. Downlod and run it.
It's last chance.

Andrew,

Thanks! Debug output displayed in browser! Will PM you output.

Woody

Andrew-

Sent you a PM containing the new debug output and a few notes.

And after sending the PM I removed Session Watcher v.1.01 mod. But captcha image still does not display.

If you find anything peculiar in the captcha debug report please let me know.

Thanks again for your assist in solving this puzzle.

Woody

Woody!
I see your debug output. It's fine! :thumbsup: All works normal, image generated.

The generated image does not display. That is the crux issue. Sorry if I haven't been very clear on that.

Possibly something in the header of the image or the image encoding, or issue with the method the server is delivering script output the client? Maybe http header issue?

Host just sent me a few notes on differences in the debug script output when run on the host with PHP4 vs PHP5. Not sure if the points are relevant or not. But I will gather those details and post shortly.
