Image Validator thingy *type the numbers before pressing submit...*

[Rockonmetal]

You know those things that make you type out random numbers and letters which are all different colored and have lines and stuff through them, how do you make those? If anyone knows let me know, I wanted to see if I could put some on my site...

You can search around here or your favorite search engine for the term CAPTCHA. There are several tutorials floating around. Here is just a random one I found recently.

In order to use CAPTCHA, you must have the GD library enabled on your server. To check this, make a file called phpinfo.php and in it place the following:

<?php
 phpinfo();
?>

After running that, look for something about GD and see if it is enabled/installed on your server.

Hope this helps.

the only line with gd in it is this

Configure Command  cscript /nologo configure.js "--enable-snapshot-build" "--with-gd=shared"

thats the first block with the system info and ends with registered stream filters...

oh and i'm using wamp and I haven't set up a database yet...

You may have to scroll down a bit to see this.
