PHP Class yii\captcha\CaptchaAction

CaptchaAction is used together with Captcha and CaptchaValidator to provide the CAPTCHA feature. By configuring the properties of CaptchaAction, you may customize the appearance of the generated CAPTCHA images, such as the font color, the background color, etc. Note that CaptchaAction requires either GD2 extension or ImageMagick PHP extension. Using CAPTCHA involves the following steps: 1. Override [[\yii\web\Controller::actions()]] and register an action of class CaptchaAction with ID 'captcha' 2. In the form model, declare an attribute to store user-entered verification code, and declare the attribute to be validated by the 'captcha' validator. 3. In the controller view, insert a Captcha widget in the form.

Public Properties

Property Type Description
$backColor the background color. For example, 0x55FF00. Defaults to 0xFFFFFF, meaning white color.
$fixedVerifyCode the fixed verification code. When this property is set, CaptchaAction::getVerifyCode will always return the value of this property. This is mainly used in automated tests where we want to be able to reproduce the same verification code each time we run the tests. If not set, it means the verification code will be randomly generated.
$fontFile the TrueType font file. This can be either a file path or path alias.
$foreColor the font color. For example, 0x55FF00. Defaults to 0x2040A0 (blue color).
$height the height of the generated CAPTCHA image. Defaults to 50.
$imageLibrary the rendering library to use. Currently supported only 'gd' and 'imagick'. If not set, library will be determined automatically.
$maxLength the maximum length for randomly generated word. Defaults to 7.
$minLength the minimum length for randomly generated word. Defaults to 6.
$offset the offset between characters. Defaults to -2. You can adjust this property in order to decrease or increase the readability of the captcha.
$padding padding around the text. Defaults to 2.
$testLimit how many times should the same CAPTCHA be displayed. Defaults to 3. A value less than or equal to 0 means the test is unlimited (available since version 1.1.2).
$transparent whether to use transparent background. Defaults to false.
$width the width of the generated CAPTCHA image. Defaults to 120.
