fireice87 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Hey Im looking into adding captcha to a registration form iv just used the sample from the captcha.net website to try it out and figure out how it works. Iv directly copied and pasted the code but its not quite working. Iv made no alterations to the code but keep getting the message "'Every CAPTCHA can only be used once. The current CAPTCHA has already been used. Try again.';" as theres no forum on the captcha website im finding it hard to find what is causing this. On the website (http://captchas.net/sample/php/) there is code for an input form and a cheack form along with the captcha function page below are copies of these I figure as iv made no alterations this is probably some thing easy iv done wrong or a common mistake here is the section of code that triggers the message: <?php // Check the random string to be valid and return an error message // otherwise. if (!$captchas->validate ($random_string)) { echo 'Every CAPTCHA can only be used once. The current CAPTCHA has already been used. Try again.'; } // Check, that the right CAPTCHA password has been entered and // return an error message otherwise. elseif (!$captchas->verify ($password)) { echo 'You entered the wrong password. Aren\'t you human? Please use back button and reload.'; } // Return a success message else { echo 'Your message was verified to be entered by a human and is "' . $message . '"'; } ?> The function: <?php // // PHP module for easy utilization of the free captchas.net CAPTCHA service // // For documentation look at http://captchas.net/sample/php/ // // Written by // Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de> and // Felix Holderied <felix@holderied.de> // This file is in the public domain. // // ChangeLog: // // 2006-08-16: New optional features integrated // // 2006-03-01: Only delete the random string from the repository in // case of a successful verification. // // 2006-02-14: Add new image() method returning an HTML/JavaScript // snippet providing a fault tolerant service. // // 2005-06-02: Initial version. // class CaptchasDotNet { function CaptchasDotNet ($client, $secret, $random_repository = '/strings/captchasnet-random-strings', $cleanup_time = 3600, $alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', $letters = 6, $width = 240, $height = 80 ) { $this->__client = $client; $this->__secret = $secret; $this->__random_repository = $random_repository; $this->__cleanup_time = $cleanup_time; $this->__time_stamp_file = $random_repository .
