First problem, I have more than 18000 images generated with this script in my folder "captcha" since 2009. (the picture's name looks like : apache-1141.jpg) Secondly, it occurs that the picture isn't generated, the href image has a value (ex: apache-1111.jpg) but there is no picture in the folder with this name...

It outputs an "input" field instead of the captcha image! Does anyone know what's wrong?

Great read! but for those who don't have GdLibs installed, you can use ImageMagick.

A very nice piece of code and a very helpful addition to feedback boxes, but I found one problem. You open the feedback site, and unless you hit CTRL+R, capya does not register the first input you put, just claims that the code was wrong. You have to return, refresh site with a new code and try again.

is there anyway you can outline the steps in layman's terms? especially this: Save this on your site as capya.php and include in your php script with require_once 'capya.php', then run with askapache_captcha(); which outputs XHTML of the captcha image. thanks!

Hi Love the captcha script. Im having a problem with it and maybe you can help me out im getting a timezone error with the date(); function Reporting:

Strict Standards: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Europe/London' for '0.0/no DST' instead in C:AppServwwwIrishModelscapyacapya.php on line 50

Can you please advise, Again Many Thanks.
