Captcha probelm

Recommended Posts

Hi, this is prbably a long shot, as i cannot really give a lot of information about this, as i don't really know what the problem is, so i apologize for that in advance.

I've been using a captcha that i found on a tutorial site for a few months now and it's been working great. I can't seem to post the code for it however as everytime that i try, for some reason my session times out :S

So i woke up yesterday to find that my site wouldn't load at all, and an error claiming that mysql_connect was an undefined function, and apparently (according to a friend), it was due to a fedora update, and i had to install php-mysql. This fixed everything, but now all of a sudden my captha only appears as a red x.

I'm pretty inclined to say that this is all connected. Can anyone suggest anything i can do to get this working again?

Thanks in advance if anyone can help me.

I don't have error reporting on. i'm not sure how to put it on as i only have cli access to the server and i'm not too familiar with cli's.

Not sure if it makes a difference, but it uses img tags to be called, like this <img src="captcha.php">. All my other included files work fine though.

And, your "captcha.php" file is in the same directory, correct? It's going to be extremely difficult to help you debug without a little more info. If you hit your captcha.php page directly, do you get an image, or do you get a jpeg error of some sort?

Yes, it's in the same directory. If i go directly to it, i get a red cross too. I'm trying to post my code but everytime i do i get "page cannot be displayed" and then a bunch of errors on reload.

While i was googling random things about the subject, i noticed something about GD support. Perhaps maybe that is to do with it?

Nope, you sure don't. If you have GD installed, you'll have an entire table with all the GD settings represented under the heading of, what else, [b]gd[/b].

You'll have settings like [i]GD Support - enabled[/i] and [i]GD Version - bundled (2.0.28 compatable)[/i] or such.
