Need help image verification won't display on mail form

[domskidan]

Hello Guys,

 

I'm new here, I have been building some e-commerce sites with order forms, the order forms are simple mail form scripts. The problem is in order to mail these forms they require image verification and the php generated image does not show up on the server I am hosting it with. I have researched the problem and I have been told that this may be due to the server not having a GD library installed. My brother and I checked it out, and it was in fact installed so i'm guessing it may just not be configured.

 

Whether than fighting with this though I thought it might just be easier to get rid of the image verification all together, my boss hated it anyway.

 

The website I am working on is http://www.pwcwater.com if you click to buy something you will fill out shipping information and have a product selected. Next there is a screen where you fill out the billing and credit card information. That is where the image verification does not load. Also on the FAQ page there is another mailer form.

 

If there is someone who can help me simply just get rid of the image verification I would really really appreciate it.

Should be simple enough to remove,

 

Though i would fix it rather than remove a security feature . Write a simple gd script to make suer gd works, if nto then contact your hosting providers  for support.

hope this helps

Thank You.

 

That looks great and I tried something similar before that didn't work. I decided to remove the image verification because this whole GD library deal is way above me and I am running out of time trying to figure it out.

 

I tried using your code and I got this parse error:

 

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/httpd/vhosts/pwcwater.com/httpdocs/contactus_send.php on line 7

 

Any ideas?

 

Once again thanks,

Dan
