See the Project Status issue on GitHub.

Download

The code will remain available to view and download at https://github.com/dapphp/securimage.

Synopsis

See the example form to get started. PHP sessions are not required if database storage is used instead.

Description

What is Securimage?

Securimage is a PHP class that is used to generate and validate CAPTCHA images.

The classes uses an existing PHP session or creates its own if none is found to store the CAPTCHA code. In addition, a database can be used instead of session storage.

Variables within the class are used to control the style and display of the image. The class uses TTF fonts and effects for strengthening the security of the image.

It also creates audible codes which are played for visually impared users.

UPGRADE NOTICE

3.6.3 and below: Securimage 3.6.4 fixed a XSS vulnerability in example_form.ajax.php. It is recommended to upgrade to the latest version or delete example_form.ajax.php from the securimage directory on your website.

3.6.2 and above:

If you are upgrading to 3.6.2 or greater AND are using database storage, the table structure has changed in 3.6.2 adding an audio_data column for storing audio files in the database in order to support HTTP range requests. Delete your tables and have Securimage recreate them or see the function createDatabaseTables() in securimage.php for the new structure depending on which database backend you are using and alter the tables as needed. If using SQLite, just overwrite your existing securimage.sq3 file with the one from this release.

If you are not using database tables for storage, ignore this notice.

AHGBold.ttf

AHGBold.ttf (AlteHaasGroteskBold.ttf) font was created by Yann Le Coroller
and is distributed as freeware.

Alte Haas Grotesk is a typeface that look like an helvetica printed in an
old Muller-Brockmann Book.

These fonts are freeware and can be distributed as long as they are
together with this text file. 

I would appreciate very much to see what you have done with it anyway.
