Smallish hack here, basically it emulates Yahoo's, among other's, system of generating an image with a random series of characters that a user must enter correctly into a text box to register. The screenshots will illustrate this well:
Installation Instructions
----------------
See install.txt in the attachment
Minimods
---------------- Text-only version for people without access to the GD library
The font may be customized by taking a font desired, in TrueType format, and uploading it in place of the font.ttf included. the gd image library IS required to use this hack.
I just installed this and I am only getting an X where the image is supposed to ne. I checked the path to the font.ttf and it is correct. Any fix for this?
I'm not sure if the server I am on had the gd image library installed. If not, is there a way to make this hack use random text instead of the images?

Yes, they're create via the gd image library and destroyed once they are used.
And my apologies to slynderdale, I didn't know somebody was in the process of coding this. I saw this request last night and I thought that it might be good practice, so I made it. My apologies.
There's no need to apologise. Perhaps you can compare code

To see if you are using the gd library try running a phpinfo, you should need v2 or higher. What's the url to your reg_image.php file? It may generate an error message that could be useful. The most likely cause of the problem is, however, the gd version/lack of it at all. I apologize, but I'm afraid there's no fix to that one, unelss you can get your host to upgrade.

I ran the phpinfo and say nothing about the gd library. Chances are (knowing my host) it is not installed. Thanks, anyway.
WOW this is a good hack dude.
Thanks for releasing!
I'll definately install this if possible hehehe.
Mind you I dunno if (and doubt) lycos runs the requirements for this.
Still worth a try though.
