Tnx Abbas for answer.

I checked fonts folder, and it is OK.

Php info:

GD Support   enabled
GD Version    bundled (2.0.12 compatible)
FreeType Support    enabled
FreeType Linkage    with freetype
GIF Read Support    enabled
JPG Support    enabled
PNG Support    enabled
WBMP Support    enabled
XBM Support    enabled

Any other ideas 

[Abbas Ali]

Remove the font files and reupload fresh ones.

[peter2]

I reupload fonts folder.

It contains files:
09-17-06  10:11AM               126492 acidic.ttf
09-17-06  10:11AM                24048 hurryup.ttf

Still not working...

I tryed, but it does not help ...

[atnika]

I personally was unable to make Ali's captcha mod working on my website, so I made another captcha mod for myself

OK, 1st, thanx for this mod.

I tried to install it, but all I got is a beautifull red cross instead of the code...

Any idea of what may be wrong?

[Abbas Ali]

It works fine with english as lang http://presquile.crozon.free.fr/coppermine/displayimage.php?album=topn&cat=0&pos=4&lang=english

That means some blank line is getting outputted in your lang/french.php file.

[Loïc]

OK, I was wondering why the error message was in english... That should be the same reason. I'll chek the file...

Thanx a lot, Abbas... 

[Loïc]

OK, I modified the french.php file as told in the very 1st message but it doesn't work. The red cross and english error message again... 

[Loïc]

It works ok, now.

Thanx again! 

[Loïc]

Grrr I didn't find how to edit my message...

In fact it doesn't work in french. I don't understand why... 

[Abbas Ali]

Remove the following line from captcha.php file and see whether it works or not.

Code Select Expand


require("include/init.inc.php");

Hi Loic,

I had the same problem using the Dutch lang file. Try to save your lang file with Ansi encoding. Seems strange but it worked for me!

[Loïc]

Thanx Abbas, it works! 

[Loïc]

Hi Loic,

I had the same problem using the Dutch lang file. Try to save your lang file with Ansi encoding. Seems strange but it worked for me!

I did what Abbas said and it works now. But your tips sounds good too since it definitly looks like a character bug (see the discussion about that bug in the french forum if you can read french)...

Anyway, thanx for your tip!

Abbas,
Good Day

Remove the following line from captcha.php file and see whether it works or not.

Code Select Expand

require("include/init.inc.php");

bzzzzz Too Strong 
Nice idea 

PYAP

[Abbas Ali]

I thought why not remove the root cause (i.e. lang file). If init.inc.php is not included then lang file is also not included on captcha.php. This won't hamper the captcha in any way.

[peter2]

I finally solved the problem... I hope.. 

I had to add last parameter to functions imagefttext and imageftbbox (in captcha.class.php), because it is not optional in PHP Version 4.3.2

So, I changed file captcha.class.php

from:

Code Select Expand

$aCharDetails = imageftbbox($iFontSize, $iAngle, $sCurrentFont, $this->sCode[$i]);

To:

Code Select Expand

$aCharDetails = imageftbbox($iFontSize, $iAngle, $sCurrentFont, $this->sCode[$i],array());

from:

Code Select Expand

imagefttext($this->oImage, $iFontSize, $iAngle, $iX, $iY, $iTextColour, $sCurrentFont, $this->sCode[$i]);

to:

Code Select Expand

imagefttext($this->oImage, $iFontSize, $iAngle, $iX, $iY, $iTextColour, $sCurrentFont, $this->sCode[$i],array());

from:

Code Select Expand

imagefttext($this->oImage, $iFontSize, $iOffsetAngle, $iX + $iRandOffsetX, $iY + $iRandOffsetY, $iShadowColour, $sCurrentFont, $this->sCode[$i]);

to

Code Select Expand

imagefttext($this->oImage, $iFontSize, $iOffsetAngle, $iX + $iRandOffsetX, $iY + $iRandOffsetY, $iShadowColour, $sCurrentFont, $this->sCode[$i],array());

I hope this is OK  :-\

Tnx

Hello Abbas,

thank you for the great mod for adding comments.

I did exactly according to your instructions.

the mod worked perfectly - thank you !

but I encountered a problem somewhere else - the tabs at the bottom of the page now spans across the entire page instead of the usual small squares located at the right hand corner.

I'd like the tabs like they were previously before I added the mod.

did I do something wrong?

pse help.

thanks so much.
