Captcha
Installation
With composer :
{
...
"require":{
"gregwar/captcha":"1.*"
}
}
Usage
You can create a captcha with the CaptchaBuilder :
use Gregwar\Captcha\CaptchaBuilder;
$builder = new CaptchaBuilder;
$builder->build();
You can then save it to a file :
$builder->save('out.jpg');
Or output it directly :
header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
$builder->output();
Or inline it directly in the HTML page:
You'll be able to get the code and compare it with a user input :
// Example: storing the phrase in the session to test for the user
// input later
$_SESSION['phrase'] = $builder->getPhrase();
You can compare the phrase with user input:
if($builder->testPhrase($userInput)) {
// instructions if user phrase is good
}
else {
// user phrase is wrong
}
API
You can use theses functions :
__construct($phrase = null), constructs the builder with the given phrase, if the phrase is null, a random one will be generated
getPhrase(), allow you to get the phrase contents
setDistortion($distortion), enable or disable the distortion, call it before build()
isOCRReadable(), returns true if the OCR can be read using the ocrad software, you'll need to have shell_exec enabled, imagemagick and ocrad installed
buildAgainstOCR($width = 150, $height = 40, $font = null), builds a code until it is not readable by ocrad
build($width = 150, $height = 40, $font = null), builds a code with the given $width, $height and $font. By default, a random font will be used from the library
save($filename, $quality = 80), saves the captcha into a jpeg in the $filename, with the given quality
get($quality = 80), returns the jpeg data
output($quality = 80), directly outputs the jpeg code to a browser
setBackgroundColor($r, $g, $b), sets the background color to force it (this will disable many effects and is not recommended)
setBackgroundImages(array($imagepath1, $imagePath2)), Sets custom background images to be used as captcha background. It is recommended to disable image effects when passing custom images for background (ignore_all_effects). A random image is selected from the list passed, the full paths to the image files must be passed.
setInterpolation($interpolate), enable or disable the interpolation (enabled by default), disabling it will be quicker but the images will look uglier
setIgnoreAllEffects($ignoreAllEffects), disable all effects on the captcha image. Recommended to use when passing custom background images for the captcha.
testPhrase($phrase), returns true if the given phrase is good
setMaxBehindLines($lines), sets the maximum number of lines behind the code
setMaxFrontLines($lines), sets the maximum number of lines on the front of the code
