Screen shots:

Windows 7:

Ubuntu 12.10:

Requirements:

- JRE (Java Runtime Environment) 1.6 (or higher)

- Internet connection

Details as to how to use the program are in the readme.txt file (included in the download).

Here is a change log from version 1.0 to 1.1:

• Removed the IP address check (due to someone potentially having a different IP address when loading and then submitting the captcha form)
• Made the code more efficient in several places
• Made the code easier to read
• Removed yellow as one of the possible captcha string colours
• Fixed the expiry time option
• Added question text option
• Made the valid check case insensitive rather than case sensitive

In the past few months I’ve been making a lot of ArmA2 (a popular military simulator PC game) missions, as well as working on an SQF (scripting language used for ArmA2 mission making) editor, as well as a multi-platform ArmA2 RPT viewing program; which is useful for server administration.

I also built a mini-ITX computer last month, which I recorded and I’m still working on editing the videos for this before I upload it to YouTube to help others build mini-ITX form factor computers.

At the moment it’s a relatively simple captcha class that’s easy to implement, I’ve already started thinking about improvements that I can make in the future.

Here is an example as to how to use the captcha class:

Source code

<?php
/* EM Captcha Implementation Example */
require(__DIR__ . "/captcha.class.php"); // Include the captcha class file "captcha.class.php"
 
if (isset($_POST['submitButton'])) { // If the form has been submitted, process it
	// Create a new captcha object parsing in the hidden ID in the form, this will always be "$_POST['emCaptchaID']"
	$captcha = new Captcha($_POST['emCaptchaID']); 
 
    if ($captcha->isValid()) { // If the input captcha matches the image
		print("Valid captcha!");
		// Your code here..
 
	} else { // If the input captcha does not match the image
		print("Invalid captcha!");
		// Your code here..
	}
 
} else { // If the form has not been submitted, display it
	$captcha = new Captcha(); // Create a new captcha object, as we're not validating captcha input we don't parse in an ID
 
	// Set options, White background, show border, 5 minutes until the captcha expires, "Answer:" will be shown above the text field
	$captcha->setOpts("white", true, 5, "Answer:"); 
 
	// Output a HTML form
	print("<form method=\"post\">");
 
	// Call $captcha->output() where you want the captcha image and text field to appear
	$captcha->output("./"); // "./" is the path to the captcha_show.php file from the current location, default is __DIR__
	print("<br /><button type=\"submit\" name=\"submitButton\">Submit</button>");
	print("</form>");
}
?>

If the form had not been submitted the above code will output a form which would look like the screen shot below:
