Install via Download

Download and copy all files to your app's /plugins/captcha folder of your cakephp 3 application

OR

In the command line, cd command to your app's plugins folder and run git clone

$ cd myapp/plugins
$ git clone https://github.com/inimist/cakephp3-captcha.git captcha

1. Load Captcha plugin.

   Place Plugin::load('Captcha', ['routes' => true, 'autoload' => true]); in your application's bootstrap.php file.

2. Load Capthca component

   Place $this->loadComponent('Captcha.Captcha'); in your controllerr's initialize function

   OR

   Load Captcha component on the fly, in the particular controller action. For example in the add() action:

   $$this->loadComponent('Captcha.Captcha'); //or load on the fly!$

3. Add Behavior to your Model/Table

   Place $this->addBehavior('Captcha.Captcha', ['field'=>'<fieldname>']) in your Model (Table class)

4. Create an input field in your view's form as:

   echo $this->Captcha->create('<fieldname>');

5. In your controller in which your form data is processed, place:

   $this->Users->setCaptcha('<fieldname>', $this->Captcha->getCode('<fieldname>'));

   just before patching entity. For example:

   $this->Users->setCaptcha('securitycode', $this->Captcha->getCode('securitycode'));
   $user = $this->Users->patchEntity($user, $this->request->data);
   

See example/src folder for a working example.

##More examples

###Custom settings:

echo $this->Form->create("Signups");
$custom1['width']=150;
$custom1['height']=50;
$custom1['theme']='default';
$this->Captcha->render($custom1);

###Multiple captchas:

//form 1
echo $this->Form->create("Signups");
$custom1['width']=150;
$custom1['height']=50;
$this->Captcha->render($custom1);

//form 2, A math captcha, anywhere on the page
echo $this->Form->create("Users");
$custom2['type']='math';
$this->Captcha->render($custom2);

Settings that can be set in your view file:

• field: field name.
• type: image or math. If set to 'math' all following settings will be obsolete
• width: width of image captcha
• height: height of image captcha
• theme: theme/difficulty image captcha
• length: number of characters in image captcha
• angle: angle of rotation for characters in image captcha

Additional settings that can be set.

• fontAdjustment: Responsible for the font size relational to Captcha Image Size
• reload_txt: The phrase which appears as a Captcha Reload link
• clabel: Label for Image Captcha Value input field
• mlabel: Label for Math Captcha Value input field

That should be it.

1. Headers already sent issue. The component uses php's header() function to send or generate captcha image as raw HTML output. Make sure there is no output generated before the create() function in your component. It is common error to have spaces, tags or empty space in your files which would cause rending no image in the captcha.

2. GD library and True Type Font (TTF) support extensions are enabled in PHP.

3. This captcha script uses three font faces, anonymous, droidsans and ubuntu to generate fonts in the captcha images. These font faces are placed in the captcha/src/Lib/Fonts of this download. I have seen that these font files are corrupted in some downloads. If you see font not found error in your error logs and captcha are failed to generate, try downloading these font faces from their respective sources and replace them in the mentioned folder.
