To whom it may concern: in some php5 installations, the images didn’t display when setting
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);, but placing
error_reporting(0); at the top of freecap.php did the job.

And btw, thanks for the tool, I still like it very much.

I have used this captcha for several years now at full satisfaction. However, it now doesn’t seem to work in Internet Explorer 9. The answers are always wrong, except when I ask for a new image (refresh only the image, not the page).

I understand that this software is old, freeware and hardly supported (anymore), but maybe there is anyone else who experienced (and maybe even solved) this?

It’s redirecting the image to http://www.zockt.com/phpBB2/freecap/freecap.php but that’s giving a 404 error. It looks like it’s an error of some kind with the subdomain setup – I’d suggest you contact zockt.com to see if they can help. Cheers.

I am using Freecap for phpBB and it worked fine for years. Now all of a sudden no more images are being displayed. I only see a broken picture.

Any idea? I am kinda lost on this one…

Hi !
I didn’t find your email, so I am asking my question here on.

I am the develloper of the blog engine Blogotext (which was dead for 3 years, until I asked the author to take the project over) : http://lehollandaisvolant.net/blogotext/

I wish to include FreeCap into the login page.

My ask is : do you allow me using FreeCap (under GNU/GPL licence) into a CreativeCommon-BY-NC-ND licenced software (Blogotext) ?

I am not the creator of Blogotext, and I can’t change that licence, so, because of the CC licence wich is more restrictive than GNU/GPL, I need the author’s permission
(article 10 of GNU/GPL v2 licence).

- Blogotext is open-source, but not « totally » free
- Blogotext will always be free of charge (of course)
- The mention of FreeCap will be included in the « read-me » page and even a link, if you want.

(sorry for my English (I am actually not English…), and if you can, answer me using e-mail please.

Thanks :)

LOL…it’s actually Eric, I must have hit the wrong key and didn’t notice it.
Anyways, thanks for getting back to me. Yes, I figured out that your wonderful and great CAPTCHA script wouldn’t work with a perl script. So, I down loaded a formmail script from Tectite and with a little effort on my part got it to work! I am very pleased with the results so far. I will continue to massage it a little in the future but as of right now, mission accomplished!
Thanks again for your kind of efforts in the fight against those damn spammers…!

Hi Erid!

Sorry to have to inform you that it won’t work with perl scripts :(

Possible solutions are:

use a PHP mailer, but that would require some re-coding on your part

use a different CAPTCHA script, for example reCaptcha works with many languages, including perl.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Honestly, I’d go for option 2, it’ll probably be easier for you. Good luck.

I am trying to insert your nice little spam script into my form submission on my site but have run into a little snag and hope you can enlighten me as my service provider support can seem to figure it out. In one of your freeCap support page and in reference to the following….

1.4.1 – In the filename I put in the Header line, how do I access the submitted data
At the moment, it’s just a CAPTCHA script; i.e. it won’t fully integrate with your existing form without a little work on your part.
A future version will include several example scripts, but for the moment, on about line 54, where it says
// now process form
just put
include(“xxx.php”);
exit();
where xxx.php is the file that your old form used to submit to, eg mail.php

What if your file is a perl mail script file like “formmail.pl”….. I can’t seem to get it to work with that call! I get the following error from my server……

Warning: main(/cgi-sys/formmail.pl) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/www/virtual1/66/175/33/128/html/freecap_wrap.php on line 56

Warning: main() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘/cgi-sys/formmail.pl’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/local/share/pear’) in /usr/local/www/virtual1/66/175/33/128/html/freecap_wrap.php on line 56

If I put the call in the form header with on Submit it sends the form fields but then doesn’t perform the validation. It just won’t work if I call the mail form file as you outline above in the work around.

Any ideas….?
