however ...

[jazcyk]

it does not seem to work!

Maybe it is printed outside the visible 'window'?
But it can be added to .css and .tpl. files if needed.

It is no big issue for me. We have not been bothered by robots - only some childish persons and a viagra-seller ...

I will just use two or three very clear fonts for a start.

this should nave been posted in the 'PhpmyFAQ 160' thread

Here is the effect for viewing the basket of characters:

[jazcyk]

Here it displays like


ask.php contains

Code: Select all

'msgCaptcha' => $PMF_LANG['msgCaptcha']."<br/>(".implode(" ", $captcha->letters).")",

a syntax issue, probably!

a syntax issue, probably!

Or a browser issue: please try to substitute "<br/>" with a simple space char " ".

[jazcyk]

makes no difference in neither IE, Firefox or Opera on my system when connecting to local Apache 2.0.55, PHP 5.1.2, MySQL 5.0.19.

Could there be some file version mismatch?

[jazcyk]

from where does it read

Code: Select all

$captcha->letters

[jazcyk]

captcha.php contains:

Code: Select all

$this->letters      = array('1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9',
                                    'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I',
                                    'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O', 'P', 'Q', 'R',
                                    'S', 'T', 'U', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z' );

It doesn't depend on the server configuration if you do not have a local proxy.
It seems to me you've modified a file different from that under your web root path or you are caching the old HTML.

Code: Select all

$captcha->letters

is one of the properties of the captcha class as

Code: Select all

$captcha->caplength

a bit below in ask.php

[jazcyk]

another php-module that I need to load?

[jazcyk]

or you are caching the old HTML

I have restarted Apache and the browsers, so nothing should be cached anywhere!

The file modified is
\path to faq\ask.php
or webroot\faq16\ask.php (in webserver terms)
or D:\webside\faq16\ask.php (on local filesystem)

[jazcyk]

I now emptied the browser cache, and still the same!

[matteo]

I'd suggest you two checks:
a. add a garbage character like "(" in your ask.php: this will output an error if you're modifying the right file (just a double check to you post)
b. try to remove the implode function for reading something like

Code: Select all

'msgCaptcha' => $PMF_LANG['msgCaptcha']." This is a Test String - REMOVE ME",

[jazcyk]

Your 'hack' works on 'Ask Question', but neither 'Add Content' or 'Add Comment'

But I was working with 'Add Comment' all the time!

[david_de]

Code: Select all

'msgCaptcha' => $PMF_LANG['msgCaptcha']." This is a Test String - REMOVE ME",

The problem with this and the implode one the string is too long for the column. In Firefox it over writes the right column however the column top is same hight as left and right column.

IE it is too wide for the column so the column moves down where the "Ask Question at the top of the center column is just below 1 Users online (left column) but in the middle column position. It was off my screen until I scroll down.
