Captcha Is Not Working Properly

mdmartiny · October 24, 2012

I am trying to add a captcha to a registration form that I all ready have made.

I keep getting told that the captcha in the image and the characters that I am entering do not match. I am hoping that an extra set of eyes will help me find the problem.

This is the registration page

"<?php include('function/init.php'); ?>
<!doctype html>
<?php include('includes/head.php'); ?>

<body>
<div class="gridContainer clearfix">
<?php include('includes/header.php'); ?>
<div id="register">
 <?php	
	if(!empty($_POST['human_check'])) {
		$filtered_email = filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL);

		if (user_exsits($_POST['username']) === true) {
			$errors[] = "The username <em>" . $_POST['username'] . "</em> is already taken";
		}

		if (preg_match("/\\s/", $_POST['username']) == true) {
			$errors[] = "your username can not contain any spaces";
		}

		if (strlen($_POST['password']) < 6 && !empty($_POST['password'])) {
			$errors[] = "Password must be longer than 6 characters";
		}

		if ($filtered_email === FALSE && !empty($_POST['email'])) {
			$errors[] = "<em>".$_POST['email']."</em> is not a valid email";
		} else {
			if (email_exsits($filtered_email) === true) {
				$errors[] = "The email <strong>'" . $_POST['email'] . "'</strong> is already in use";
			}
		}

		if($_POST['human_check'] != $_SESSION['is_human']){
			$errors[] = "Captcha was wrong please try again!";
		}

		if (empty($_POST) === false && empty($errors) === true) {
				$register_data = array(
					'username' => $_POST['username'],
					'password' => $_POST['password'],
					'name' => $_POST['name'],
					'email' => $_POST['email'],
				);

				register_user($register_data);
				header('Location: register.php?success');
				exit();
		} else if (empty($errors) === false) {
			echo output_errors($errors);
		}
		} else if (isset($_GET['success'])) {
				echo "<div class='reg-success'>You have successfully registered!</div>";
				echo "<br /><br />";
				echo "<form action='index.php' method='post' name='login'>
						<ul>
						<li>
							Username<br />
							<input ID='user' TYPE='text' NAME='user' required autocomplete='off' /></li>

					</form>";
	}
	?>

<h1 class="header">Register</h1>
			<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">

<li id='captcha_part'>
<span class="explain">Click on captcha to refresh image</span>
						<img id ="captcha" src="captcha.php" onclick="javascript:reloadCaptcha()">

					<li>Captcha<br />
						<input id="user" type='text' name='human_check' required placeholder='Enter captcha characters'>

				 <li><input id="submit" type="submit" name="register" value="Register" /></li>

			</form>
</div>
<?php include('includes/footer.php'); ?>
</div>
</body>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
		function reloadCaptcha(){
			document.getElementById('captcha').src = document.getElementById('captcha').src+ '?' +new Date();
		}
	</script>
</html>"

This is the captcha page

"<?php
///////////Editable Variables///////////
$image_width = 220; //sets image's width
$image_height = 80; //sets image's height

$red = rand(0,255); //random colors for lines
$green = rand(0,255);
$blue = rand(0,255);

$red1 = rand(100, 200); //random colors for lines
$green1 = rand(90, 190);
$blue1 = rand(80, 180);

$min_font_size = 20;
$max_font_size = 25;

///////////May not want to edit below this section///////////
$human = "";
for($x = 0; $x < 2; $x++){
$human .= chr(rand(48,57));
}
for($x = 0; $x < 3; $x++){
$human .= chr(rand(65,90));
}
for($x = 0; $x < 2; $x++){
$human .= chr(rand(97,122));
}

$_SESSION['is_human'] = $human;	

$image = imagecreate($image_width, $image_height); //creates image

$background = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255); //sets background color	
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($image, $red, $green, $blue); //sets text color

$angle = rand(0,15);

$fonts = array('appleberry_with_cyrillic.ttf', 'BlackCastleMF.ttf','DennisHillSpeeding.ttf','Diskoteque.ttf','the beautiful ones.ttf'); //sets an array of fonts
$font = rand(0, 4); // generates a random number to used to load a font
$font_path = "css/fonts/";

$human_text = $_SESSION['is_human']; // sets variable captcha_text = to the session called captcha

for($i=0; $i<75; $i++) { // for loop to generate random lines and line colors for captcha background
$x1 = rand(0, 220);
$y1 = rand(0, 220);
$x2 = rand(0, 220);
$y2 = rand(0, 220);

$line_color = imagecolorallocate($image, $red1, $green1, $blue1); //sets line color

imageline($image, $x1, $y1, $x2, $y2, $line_color); //creates a line
}

imagettftext($image, rand($min_font_size, $max_font_size), $angle, 40, 70, $text_color, $font_path.$fonts[$font], $human_text); //creates captcha text
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
imagejpeg($image); //makes the image
imagedestroy($image); //to save ram

?>"

Would appreciate it if someone could help me or point me in the right direction

I don't see a session_start() call anywhere in your captcha image generation script. You'll need that for your $_SESSION variable to work.

In my init file I have session_start()...

kicken · October 24, 2012

I assumed as much, but your captcha script does not include that file. Unless that is in code you did not post.

I put session _start in it.. and it worked out.... Thought that since I had it in my init.php file I did not have to add it again. Guess I was wrong.

Thank You
