Form Captcha

Note that the image is not displayed when editing in Dreamweaver. The image is displayed when the page is loaded with a browser.

If you are not seeing the image in a browser, then there are three possibilities:

• The folder HDWFormCaptcha has not been uploaded. In this case you need to upload it.
• The path to the image (a PHP file) is wrong. Be sure that the paths in your local Dreamweaver matches with relative paths in your online web site
• The GD 2 Image Library for PHP is not available. Maybe you can contact your web hosting service and request it.

---

Most PHP servers contains the GD Image Library installed, it's almost an standard in every PHP installation.

There is a simple test to know the libraries installed with PHP. Follow this steps:

1. Create a page named "phpinfo.php" with this single line:
2. Load the page in your web browser, for example http://www.your-web-site.com/phpinfo.php

You will see a page with a detailed information about the PHP capabilities on your web server, including the GD Library version available.

If your web hosting support is fast or if it offer an online help you can just ask them about the support for GD Library.

---

No, no hand coding is needed or additional steps are required. The captcha verification code is inserted automatically into the web page that protects the form.

Note that the page that process the form (save it , or send by email, etc...) must exist before apply the captcha to protect it.

---

It's not a common practice, but if the captchas contains the same configuration parameters (same with, height,...) you can add more than one.

Of course, in the same website you can use any number of captchas in different pages.

---

Yes, put this button into your page:

<input type="button" name="hdwnc" value="new image" onclick="document.getElementById('captchaimg').src =document.getElementById('captchaimg').src+'&'+Date();" />

This link makes the same function:

<a href="#captchaimg" onclick="document.getElementById('captchaimg').src =document.getElementById('captchaimg').src+'&'+Date();">new image</a>

To put Form2Mail and FormCaptcha together, please follow these steps:

1. Insert Form2Mail into your form as always.
2. Once inserted Form2Mail, insert FormCaptcha.
3. Select the file "HDWForm2Mail/Form2Mail.php" as the page to protect.
Click the "Browse" button to select this file.
4. Configure others parameters of FormCaptcha in the "Insert Captcha"

1 - Add an empty anchor at the bottom of your page like this one:

<a name="captcha"></a>

2- Add #captcha to the end of your "Redirect on failed" page, example:

mypage.php?hdwmsg=invalid#captcha

---

Please do not use spaces in the field names, use underscore _ instead spaces.

Adidtionally, if you are not using spaces, note that in Internet Explorer the "select" fields need the "value" specified in order to be able to refill those fields with javascript.

Example (incorrect):

<select name="my field">
<option>Blue</option>
<option>Red</option>
<option>Green</option>
</select>

Example (correct):

<select name="my_field">
<option value="Blue">Blue</option>
<option value="Red">Red</option>
<option value="Green">Green</option>
</select>

Please add the value attributes to the option tags.

If you are testing your page directly from your local hard disk in IE 7, this message appears:

"To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for options."

In IE 7 this message appears when you test a web page that contains a script or Flash item directly form your local hard disk. When you upload your page to an online web server that message does not appear.

The address from a web server must start with http:// or https:// . On the other hand if the address start with C:\ or file:// then you are testing it from your local hard disk.

Just upload your web page to your web site and you will see that the error disappears.
