Hi all - I have an HTML form, and it allows a user to enter data into a bunch of fields, and at the very end they need to enter in a captcha so the data can then be submitted to a database.  After submitting the data, the form reloads with blank fields so the user can enter more data, and I have the captcha functionality disappear, which is what I want it to do b/c the user could enter/submit data dozens of times and I don't want them having to enter in a captcha every time.  Anyway, my problems occurs once the user tries to submit more data the second time around....the captcha reappears.  I'm attempting to hide the captcha via javascript, but I guess I shouldn't do that? Here's my code:

 

<?php

session_start();

require('../captcha/captcha.php');

$captcha_passed = 0;

$display_captcha = 'display:block';

 

 

$ip_address = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$date_submitted = date('n/j/Y g:i:s A');

$report_year = $_SESSION['report_year'];

$institution_name = $_SESSION['institution_name'];

$institution_code = $_SESSION['institution_code'];

$street_address = $_SESSION['street_address'];

$city = $_SESSION['city'];

$state = $_SESSION['state'];

$zip_code = $_SESSION['zip_code'];

$branch_address = $_REQUEST['branch_address'];

$branch_city = $_REQUEST['branch_city'];

$branch_state = $_REQUEST['branch_state'];

$branch_zip = $_REQUEST['branch_zip'];

 

 

if(isset($_POST['Submit'])){

  if($_SESSION['captchacode'] == $_POST['captcha']) {

 

  include('mysql_connect.php');

 

//set query

$query="insert into branch_locations_dev(ip_address, date_submitted, report_year, institution_code, branch_address, branch_city, branch_state, branch_zip) values('".addslashes($ip_address)."','".addslashes($date_submitted)."','".addslashes($report_year)."','".addslashes($institution_code)."','".addslashes($branch_address)."','".addslashes($branch_city)."','".addslashes($branch_state)."','".addslashes($branch_zip)."')";

 

$result = mysql_query($query);

 

 

 

if($result){

$_POST=array();

}

else {

die( 'Invalid form submission' );

}

$captcha_passed = 1;

$display_captcha = 'display:none';

 

  }

}

?>

(I confess I only skimmed through half your code) but, since you're setting $captcha_passed  to 1 after the first insert, you could set a $_SESSION variable at the same time so that you know the capture has been passed. You can even count the times it has been submitted and show the capture every 10 times (or whatever).

 

// set the variable after $capture_passed to 1 if it doesn't exist yet or increment
$_SESSION['captureCount'] = !isset($_SESSION['captureCount']) ? 1 : $_SESSION['captureCount']++;

// use to decide if you should show capture again: only display capture if never used or every 10 times 
if( (!isset($_SESSION['captureCount'])) || ((isset($_SESSION['captureCount'])) && ($_SESSION['captureCount'] % 10 == 0)) ){
// show capture
}
