Need help with captacha on php form

Capatcha Image not visible on my form

[RenderIT]

Hi everyone, I am hoping one of you gurus will help with my first attempt at php?

I have a form with a questionaire on my website that is being spammed. I decided to use an image-code addon in an attempt to stop the spam.

I uses phpforms and bought their image code addon. They installed it on my server and gave me instructions how to add it to the page.

I have done as requested but the image is not showing.. just a placeholder.

the code they gave me to add to my page is

<?php
require_once( '/home/rend1/public_html/phpforms/img-code/img_code.php');
list($sCode, $sPath) = GenerateImgCode();
?>
<img src="<?=$sPath?>">
<input type="hidden" name="imgcode_id" value="<?=$sCode?>">
<input type="text" name="imgcode_code" value="" style="width:100%;">

the page is at <snip>

Is there anyone who would like to help me to get this working.. would be happy to correspond privately if required.

Thanks in advance
Lindy

i would check the server log file for error messages and the first thing i would suspect is that you need to have some truetype fonts installed or properly referred to in your configuration.

You might also try changing these two lines:
<img src="<?=$sPath?>">
<input type="hidden" name="imgcode_id" value="<?=$sCode?>">

to:
<img src="<?php echo $sPath;?>">
<input type="hidden" name="imgcode_id" value="<?php echo $sCode;?>">

Unfortunately no luck - does anyone else have an idea of how to help me?

Thanks

Add this line to the top of your script and report any errors:

error_reporting(E_ALL);

Also, what is being echoed into the

src

attribute of the

img

tag? Is it a valid filepath? Are images being generated in that location? If not, are the permissions of that directory such that the web user can write files there?
