Using PHP how can I make a security code on my signup form like on Hotmail, FSMail, AOL and Yahoo and vBulletin 3?

Thanks

Sorry I should have been more clear... You know in some sign up forms there is an image with a number that cannot be read by signup bots and you have to copy the number into a box and it has to be verified. I can generate the number and verify it I just can't create the image to display to the user. I have GD installed. Any help would be much appreciated.

This tutorial is intended for those who want to ensure that the data retrieved by a form processor PHP is sent by the expected form, not another application or by hand.

Hi

Thanks, found it...but...

When I go to the URL with the image in I get a red X in the box the image should be. If I just go straight to image.php?rid=then type the request ID in I get the following

<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>: Call to undefined function: imagettfbbox() in <b>/home/cuttie/public_html/AuthCodeImage.php</b> on line <b>99</b><br />



Any ideas?
Thx
Max

hard to say, but sounds like a paths problem...ensure that all the paths are matching your required set up

I'm not sure what to put for the fonts path. It's currently C:\\WINNT\\FONTS which is how the example script was ... what should I change this to? Do I need to copy the fonts to my webserver and put that path in?
