reCapatcha

[ronb]

Can anyone pleae give me a steer as to where I can get the reCAPATCHA code to insert in my Dreamweaver8 web form? Someone in the States keeps sending me requests for holiday brochures but fills up the text areas with a load of filthy advertisements, must be a weirdo with nothing better to do. I want to stry and stop him doing this.

Help please..

Well for starters this should be in the PHP section.
Are you using PHP?

[ronb]

I am using Dreamweaver8, whether I am using PHP I am sorry to say, I have no idea, I built the site using the Dreamweaver8 manual and it works fine except for this nuisance who keeps hijacking it to publicise his.her rubbish.

Maybe you can tell me www.frenchcanalcrusisingholidays.co.uk

[alexgeek]

I get server not found error visiting that URL.
Did you type it wrong?

Ask the host if you have php installed.

Failing that create a file called phpinfo.php with this code and chuck it in the hone directory and display the page. It will tell you if you have php installed and if you have the GD library installed also which you need to generate capthcas

PHP: Select all

<?php
   phpinfo();
?>

[alexgeek]

Assuming this is the site
http://www.frenchcanalcruisingholidays.co.uk/

Where is the problem? or where do you want captcha?

Thanks guys, firstly I have just checked the web site www.frenchcanalcruisingholidays.co.uk/page8.html and it is working fine and that's where I want to put the reCAPATCHA to try to stop this chap.girl doing what she/he is doing. it's a price list and brochure request form as you will see.

Alex,
when you say crate a file and chuck in it n the hone directory, what exactly do you mean, sorry but I am a learner as far as all this is concerned, never tried anything like this before so words of one sylable or less will be helpful...

Hi Ron

Firstly PHP is a scipting language which is what you will need to use to stop these messages being submitted, they are submitted electronically because you have no security on your form. I am sure we will be able to get you there.

I have just tried the url again and the site is down.

what you need to do is create a php file with the code above and upload it to the server where your website is hosted and locate the page http://www.frenchcanalcruisingholidays.co.uk/phpinfo.php

I have done captcha so can tell you how to include it in your form

[ronb]

AdRock et al,

Thanks guys, I will edfinitely need all the helop I can get. Sorry I haven't replied before but my ISP has been down all week-end, only just back this morning.

AdRock, you siad for me to create a file with the code above and upload it to the server however, I can't see any code, is it hidden or did you forget to add it please??

"what you need to do is create a php file with the code above and upload it to the server where your website is hosted and locate the page <A href="http://www.frenchcanalcruisingholidays.co.uk/" target=_blank rel=nofollow>http://www.frenchcanalcruisingholidays.co.uk/phpinfo.php

[AdRock]

Sometimes it does that

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Put that in a file calle phpinfo.php and upload it to the root directory where yuour home page is and locate the page. If you see loads of text (in a purple and grey table) you know php is installed.

If you have php installed on your server i'll send you the code to create the captcha

[ronb]

OK, I built the file and posted on my ISP server and also phoned them. They do have PHP and have turned the facility on for my web sites so it seems I am ready for the next step.

I do appreciate your help, thanks very much.

[AdRock]

Did you see the file info? The table with details about the php conguration?

If you have and you can see it, go half way down the page and see if you can see a table called gd and the first row should say GD Support Enabled

If you can see that , can you send the form code where you want the captcha image on and i'll put it in?

[ronb]

AdRock,

Sorry about this but I am confused. I know PHO is turned on for my site but what I don't understand is where I put this

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

I have a test folder www.frenchcanalcruisingholidays.co.uk/test/capatcha in which I placed that bit of code but nothing appeared on the screen only A href="http://www.frenchcanalcruisingholidays.co.uk/" target=_blank rel=nofollow>http://www.frenchcanalcruisingholidays.co.uk/phpinfo.php which is what you asked me to put there before. Can you explain exactly what it is I have to do please? Sorry to be a nuisance but I am lost at the moment.

[Lucleonhart]

Just open Notepad.exe on your pc, and paste it in. Then save that as "test.php" or something and upload to your webspace.
Open up the page in your browser, and you should see the PHP information!

[ronb]

If you type www.frenchcanalcruisingholidays.co.uk/capatcha1.html you will see what I get.

I am getting nowhere fast sorry to say.t. it's no use trying to use the above link as the file won't open, all you will get is a 404 but if you type the url it will open.

Adam,

I have put the Captcha on my Classic Boats web site and works fine as you can see but I am getting some code back with the request for the brochure or what ever. Can you please have a look and tell me what I have to do to stop this, is it a small bit of code like a<td> or <tr/> that needs inserting somewhere??


Nearly there!!

The form works ok but I am getting a lot of code, please see the following: -

[AdRock]

I have no idea as the chap who sorted out your php put the reCaptcha in there instead of the one that i did

[ronb]

Adroc.

The image works fine but when I get a response, this is what I received: -

Should I be getting all that code or just the message. The form is not the same as the French Canal one, is it possible to change ?
