I am after a form captcha for a template I am making
Untitled Document

I need one that will fit on the right, under the message box, that does not use tables ( preferably valid so I don't have to mess about ), also is not REALLY hard to read and is pretty easy to install

I know it seems like high criteria but im hoping someone can make a suggestion for a good one

Oh.. and it HAS to be php.. no javascript please

thanks

This looks promising: Securimage PHP Captcha

it comes flippin close mate, its very nice, my only concern might be that the refresh is javascript, unless I can get someone to give me a hand changing the refresh to php

Well, it could potentially not be too hard. Is this going to be part of a form? Are you using a PHP framework?

saltedm8 · 10th August 2009, 10:44 AM

yes, its going to be part of the form I have on the page above... it will be php, just have not got around to coding the form yet

Well, you could just have the refresh button submit the form, and then use PHP to make sure that rather than getting processed, the user is sent back to the page (with all the fields filled out, thats why it would be easier with a PHP framework)

basically what i need is for the refresh to reload the page, without losing the form info.. but I seriously have no idea on how to do it.. my php is very very lacking

Make all your form like this:

PHP Code:

 
<form name="myform" method="post" action="myfile.php">
<input type="text" name="blarg" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['blarg'])) { echo $_POST['blarg']; } ?>" />
<!-- Captcha stuff -->
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.writeln('<a href="#" onclick="document.myform.submit(); return false;">Refresh Captcha</a>');
-->
</script>
<noscript>
<input type="submit" name="refresh" value="Refresh Captcha" />
</noscript>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Form" />
</form>

You'll have to process the form at the top of the file with the form, like this:

PHP Code:

  <?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {  The downside to this is that users won't be able to 
//Do your form stuff
header('Location: index.php);
}
?>

That way the form will only be processed clicking the submit button and not the refresh button.

You'll notice the javascript after the captcha. That is so the refresh is a link rather than a button. The reason I did this was because having two submit buttons ruins the "click enter to submit" functionality of a form. But that relies on javascript, so I included a backup for no javascript that is a button.

Disclaimer: I have not tested any of this code, so I don't know if it'll work or not.

Is there any reason why you are not using JS to refresh the page? It makes far more sense than forcing a user to wait while a page reloads.

saltedm8 · 10th August 2009, 06:32 PM

it wouldn't take any time to reload, but the reason for no javascript is because of accessibility issues, where if someone has javascript disabled they wont be able to refresh it at all
