now how to use captcha which is image + word created through above function in
default.htm
<span id="captcha">
<img src="{{captcha.image}}" width="150" height="30" style="border:0;" alt=" " /> </span>
the file created by above function saves in given path bt how to show that image when form appears...................................................................................................................................................

Answer 1

First you need to correct your syntex, to flash session while redirecting you need to use
with('name', 'value')
so you need to use
if (ends_with($url, ['.html', '.htm']))
{
$url = str_replace(['.html', '.htm'], '', $url);
return Redirect::to($url, 301)->with('captcha', $captcha); // <- correct this
// $this->create_captcha() must return string value
// here $captch seems object/image so you should not pass objects in session
}
instead I guess you need to pass some random value
$someRandomValue = 'blabla';
$val = array(
'word_length' => 5,
'word' => '', // <----------------- something here [$someRandomValue]
'img_path' => $captchaImagePath,
'img_url' => $captchaImageUrl,
'font_path' => $captchaFontPath,
'img_width' => '150',
'img_height' => 30,
'expiration' => 7200
);
and then pass it like
with('captcha', $someRandomValue)
and now in other place you can get it by
$captchaValue = session::get('captcha')
so this $captchaValue will be same as $someRandomValue
in short in last you need user input as text/string and compare with $captchaValue (this will be from session) to validate it
if any doubt please comment.
