Trouble installing secure image php captcha on form

[megany]

Hi!

 

I've been working all day to install Secure Image to the form I'm using. The form is Jack's Formmail. I followed all of the instructions on the website and used the code in the instructions found on the website for the form processor:

 

include_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/securimage/securimage.php';

$securimage = new Securimage();

if ($securimage->check($_POST['captcha_code']) == false) {
  // the code was incorrect
  // handle the error accordingly with your other error checking

  // or you can do something really basic like this
  die('The code you entered was incorrect.  Go back and try again.');
}
    

 

But even when I enter the code correctly, it tells me I was wrong.

 

The form I'm working on is: http://superiordisposalservice.com/Sign-up.html

 

This is the first part of the form processor file (I removed my email addresses though):

include_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/securimage/securimage.php';

$securimage = new Securimage();

if ($securimage->check($_POST['captcha_code']) == false) {
  // the code was incorrect

  die('The code you entered was incorrect.  Go back and try again.');
}

// for ultimate security, use this instead of using the form
$recipient = "email@email.com"; // youremail@domain.com

// bcc emails (separate multiples with commas (,))
$bcc = "email@email.com";

 

Thanks a million!

I looked up four more captcha scripts and tried installing each of them...and all of them failed. Every time I get the message that says the code is incorrect.

 

What am I doing wrong? I promised this company, which belongs to a friend of the family, that I would have their captcha installed and working by the end of this afternoon and instead their form has been down for hours because I haven't been able to get it work. I'm trying...all of the tutorials looked so simple. They only had two or three steps.

 

Thanks again,

Looking earlier on your form, I saw the captcha but didn't have time to reply.

 

What I think is happening, is every time you submit the form you are calling to create a new security image, thus creating a new security code & making the one the user saw invalid:

$securimage = new Securimage();

 

When you read through this tutorial, you might understand it better (notice the session key vs post value?):
