Make an Image random with php 2

[egmweb]

Hello all,

How can I make an script to generate a random picture with numbers inside and with a form check enter the numbers of this picture and let me continue?

For example:

I enter to a site and appear a picture with numbers which I have to introduce in a text fiend to continue to the next page..

Thanks you

Hi,
This is very simple!

1. Generate a random string and store it in a session-variable
2. Write that string to an temp image
3. Display that image to the user
4. Use validation, to check if $_POST['secret_pass'] == $_SESSION['secret_pass']

Ps. if not, regenerate the secret pass!

You can also make some confusing things, so it's even harder for a computer to scan the image.

foo.php

<?php
session_start();
if (isset($submit)) {
  if ($submit == "logout") {
      unset($_SESSION['key']);
    }
  }

if ($_SESSION['key'] != $_POST['key'] || (!($_SESSION['key']))) {
  $_SESSION['key'] = substr(md5(time()), 0, 6);
  echo " 
  <form action=\"\" method=\"post\">
  <img src=\"test.php\" />
  <input type=\"text\" name=\"key\" />
  <input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"submit\" />
  </form>";
  }
else {
  echo " 
  <form action=\"\" method=\"post\">
  Access OK
  <input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"logout\" />
  </form>";
  }
?>

test.php

<?php
session_start();

if ($_SESSION['key']) {
  header("Content-type: image/png");
  $string = $_SESSION['key'];
  $im    = imagecreatefrompng("images/bg.png");
  $orange = imagecolorallocate($im, 220, 210, 60);
  $px    = (imagesx($im) - 7.5 * strlen($string)) / 2;
  $h = (imagesy($im) - 7.5) / 2;
  imagestring($im, 3, $px, $h, $string, $orange);
  imagepng($im);
  imagedestroy($im);
  }
?>

you then need an image in images/

egarc1a:
You can use the code I provided above..
eg. it will be like a login-system for your registration-system.

simply add your current registrationsystem inside there where it says: "Access OK".

remove the form there, and put:
require("yourpage.php"); where yourpage.php is your page

ps it will only work if you dont use header() or something like that in your page!

if you do, you might want to simply integrate both of the scripts together.

you might also want some alternative for the visual impaired, as they can not see images! You can not show it in text, as then the bots can simply look at the source.

You could however make an alt tag, where you ask the people to mail you, if they are having problems with this system.

ps. you can also add in the <form action:
?<?=SID?>
