PHP - Captcha Php Session Error
SO I have been developing a log in system and wanted to make my own simple CAPTCHA. I found one on the internet and ported the code across to get started and see how someone had made it. The issue I am having is that the dynamically generated image that I have created it seems is one step ahead of the session variable (the string is generated and then saved into session - then generates the image). But when i echo back the session it is always one step behind the actual image... Anyway here is my code and ask away please

I have assigned session_id() to the variable $sid so I can use it when logging in to a users account, however I get this error. How do I get around this? Warning: Unknown: Your script possibly relies on a session side-effect which existed until PHP 4.2.3. Please be advised that the session extension does not consider global variables as a source of data, unless register_globals is enabled. You can disable this functionality and this warning by setting session.bug_compat_42 or session.bug_compat_warn to off, respectively. in Unknown on line 0 As this is going to be installed on many servers, I do not want to have to edit the php.ini file on each one so as not to get this error. Is there an alternative way to assign the session_id() as so $sid = session_id(); so this doesnt happen?

However, this time I cannot find the answer I need/recognise/understand.. I have a form and want to conduct tests on each field returning an error message as a session variable if the test fails. The test will be different for some of the fields, and the error message is specific to each field. If there is an error in any one of the fields I want to be redirected to a failure page where all of the error messages are displayed, otherwise I am sent on to another page. I have already written and tested a function to sanitise the incoming form data, so that's not a problem - it's just how to loop through and test. I can guess that there are many ways to do this but I need to understand why one option is better than another, and follow the syntax used (it's all part of my steep learning curve) The approach I have thought to use is to create an array holding the field name, the test and the message, then loop through using foreach, applying the array values into the test and creating the error message....but it's not working for me. The other method is to declare a variable $Stop='No' and if the loop identifies an error, part of the output is to change this to 'yes' and through that redirect to the error page. I'd really welcome your advice and tuition....cheers.. my code so far is... Code: [Select] $Stop='No'; $StaffPassCheck=sanitisealphanum($_POST['PasswordCheck']); $Errors[0]['value']= sanitisealphanum($_POST['FirstName']); $Errors[0]['message']='Please re-enter your name'; $Errors[0]['test']=($StaffFname=""); $Errors[1]['value']= sanitisealphanum($_POST['Surname']); $Errors[1]['message']='Please re-enter your surname'; $Errors[1]['test']=($StaffSname=""); $Errors[2]['value']= sanitisealphanum($_POST['Post']); $Errors[2]['message']='You must select an option'; $Errors[2]['test']=($StaffPost="Select Value"); $Errors[3]['value']= sanitisealphanum($_POST['Username']); $Errors[3]['message']='You must select an option'; $Errors[3]['test']=($StaffUser=""); $Errors[4]['value']= sanitisealphanum($_POST['Password']); $Errors[4]['message']='Please re-enter your password'; $Errors[4]['test']=($StaffPass=""); $Errors[5]['value']= sanitisealphanum($_POST['PasswordCheck']); $Errors[5]['message']='Sorry, your passwords do not match'; $Errors[5]['test']=($StaffPass===$StaffPassCheck); foreach ($Errors as $key => $Value){ if ( $Errors['test']=true ){ $Stop='Yes'; return $_SESSION[$key]=$Value['message']; } } if ($Stop='Yes'){ header('Location.test.php'); die(); }else{ header('Location.indexp.php'); } I want to build a captcha from scratch, as I'm all about doing things myself, and I've proposed a nice idea on how I can achieve that, but I'm sort of lost... What I want to do is write a script that will generate a random string of both letters and numbers, with the ability to set a limit on how many characters are generated. Then, I want to store that string within a variable called "random_string". Once the user types in that code, their input would get captured in a separate php file and stored within a variable like so: $captcha_code = $_POST['catpcha_code']; Then, I would write a code to see if the user's input matches the random character string from the html: Code: [Select] <?php if ($random_string == $captcha_code) { mail($to, $subject, $body); } else { echo ("The code you entered did not match the captcha. Please go back and try again."); } ?> Is this possible? I haven't yet tried it myself, because I don't know how to generate random strings of characters, but I was just wondering if perhaps I'm on the right track? Any suggestions or advice is appreciated =) Hi, I am making a CAPTCHA image. I am pretty sure the code I have is correct, but I am getting these error messages when I run the script. I use GoDaddy for hosting. The font that I reference in the script is in the root directory with the script. Any ideas?
