Description: ------------ The file is Text/CAPTCHA/Driver/Image.php This is a request to enchance the method _createCAPTCHA() so that $options['color'] can be defined by the user by adding them to $this->_options array. Also to allow the user to define the colour that is used for the obfuscation. Another useful enchancement would be to set the background colour of the image that is created rather than defaulting to black. This would allow people to design an image more in keeping with the styles of their websites.

I agree, but I somehow fail in making Image_Text cooperate with other colors. I'll try to work something out with their maintainers or finally drop the dependency on the package. I'll report back here when I have news.

I have implemented a version of your class which handles setting colours for the font and obfuscation okay, well on Fedora core 2 with apache and windows xp with apache and the pages viewed through IE6 and Firefox 1.04-1.06 I've not tried setting the background colour, but I believe that what would need to happen is to create a new layer, with a rectangle that is filled in the colour. I will look to see if I can get it working using the current setup of your project

Okay, i've looked into it, and believe that it will indeed require changes to both your class and the dependency one. Here is my modifed Text/CAPTCHA/Driver/Image.php file. I've put all of my modifications between block comments marked /* Start of Steven Mapes Modificaiton */ and /* End of Steven Mapes Modification */, I've also increased some of the spaces before and after to try to make it eaiser to find. Basically the init() method now uses two extra options, Color (text colour in hex) and ob_color (obfuscation color). Most of the changes are in _createCAPTCHA() which uses these two new options to define the colours but also has two extra lines to define another colour, in this case blue, and then fill the image with that colour from reference 1,1 (should really be 0,0). The problem is that because the text has already been rendered, it fills around the letters so you have gaps with black in. Ideally the Image/Text class that the other people are doing should be modifed to accept another parameter which will fill the image before writing the text. Anyway, hopefully its a start for you. <?php /** * Text_CAPTCHA_Driver_Image - Text_CAPTCHA driver graphical CAPTCHAs * * Class to create a graphical Turing test * * TODOs: * + refine the obfuscation algorithm :-) * + learn how to use Image_Text better (or remove dependency) * * * @license PHP License, version 3.0 * @author Christian Wenz <wenz@php.net> */ class Text_CAPTCHA_Driver_Image extends Text_CAPTCHA { /** * Image object * * @access private * @var resource */ var $_im;

Had the same problem (only black as bg color). Solved it like discussed here (modified Image_Text). Maybe another suggestion for the obfusciation: Have the text distorted. Volker
