A CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) is a type of challenging-response test used in computer field to determine whether user is Human OR robot program. Captcha is used in website to confirm that your website is accessing by a human being not machine. We can add captcha in multiple form/pages of website.
It reduce the risk of hacking/damage of website. It also help to secure the web server.
Follow Simple Steps to add captcha in your website.
1. Copy the following code and put in createCaptch.php
session_start();
//Let's generate a totally random string using md5
$md5_hash_no = md5(rand(0, 999));
//We don't need a 32 character long string so we trim it down to 5
$security_code = substr($md5_hash_no, 15, 5);
$_SESSION['captcha'] = $security_code;
//Set the image width and height
$width = 148;
$height = 37;
//Create the image resource
$image = ImageCreate($width, $height);
//We are making three colors, white, black and gray
$white = ImageColorAllocate($image, 255, 255, 255);
$black = ImageColorAllocate($image, 0, 0, 0);
$grey = ImageColorAllocate($image, 204, 204, 204);
//Make the background black
ImageFill($image, 0, 0, $grey);
//Add randomly generated string in white to the image
ImageString($image, 8, 50, 10, $security_code, $black);
//$font = 'font1.ttf';
//imagettftext($image, 18, 0, 15, 28, $black, $font, $security_code);
//Throw in some lines to make it a little bit harder for any bots to break
ImageRectangle($image, 0, 0, $width - 1, $height - 1, $grey);
// prevent client side caching
