Creating a CAPTCHA with PHP :: PHP Tutorial

- Download source code (tutorial)
- Requirement(s): PHP Server

This tutorial will show you how to create a form with Captcha.

1.Sessions in PHP are started by using the session_start() function. Like the setcookie( ) function, the session_start( ) function must come before any HTML, including blank lines, on the page.

Code:
<?php session_start(); ?>

2.Imagecreatefrompng :: create a new image from file or URL.

Code:
$img = imagecreatefrompng('black.png'); 

3.The function imagecolorallocate creates a color using RGB (red,green,blue) format.

Code:
$white = imagecolorallocate($img, 255, 255, 255); 

4.Displaying the random text on the captcha image.

Code:
$numero = rand(100, 999);

5.Check if the security code and the session value are not blank and if the input text matches the stored text.

Code:
if(($_POST['check']) == $_SESSION['check']) 
{ echo 'Input OK';
}else{ 
echo 'Input Wrong';        
}
