Question

How do I get this to load? Right now, it’s not showing any image at all… I’m not really that great at creating captcha’s because I usually never do this.

captcha.php:

<?php
$string = '';
for ($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++) {
    // this numbers refer to numbers of the ascii table (lower case)  
    $string .= chr(rand(97, 122));
}
$image = imagecreatetruecolor(170, 60);
$color = imagecolorallocate($image, 200, 100, 90); // red
$white = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255);
imagefilledrectangle($image,0,0,399,99,$white);
imagettftext ($image, 30, 0, 10, 40, $color, ASSETPATH."arial.ttf", $string);
header("Content-type: image/png");
imagepng($image);
?>

register.php:

<?php echo '<img src="'.ASSETPATH.'img/captcha.php" />'; ?>

My asset path IS correct because I’m using it elsewhere and it loads perfectly fine. Is the MVC format of this project messing it up somehow??

How about using one of the captcha services like recaptcha?
