PHP Class Prado\Web\UI\WebControls\TCaptcha

Notice: while this class is easy to use and implement, it does not provide full security. In fact, it's easy to bypass the checks reusing old, already-validated tokens (reply attack). A better alternative is provided by {@link TReCaptcha}. TCaptcha displays a CAPTCHA (a token displayed as an image) that can be used to determine if the input is entered by a real user instead of some program. Unlike other CAPTCHA scripts, TCaptcha does not need session or cookie. The token (a string consisting of alphanumeric characters) displayed is automatically generated and can be configured in several ways. To specify the length of characters in the token, set {@link setMinTokenLength MinTokenLength} and {@link setMaxTokenLength MaxTokenLength}. To use case-insensitive comparison and generate upper-case-only token, set {@link setCaseSensitive CaseSensitive} to false. Advanced users can try to set {@link setTokenAlphabet TokenAlphabet}, which specifies what characters can appear in tokens. The validation of the token is related with two properties: {@link setTestLimit TestLimit} and {@link setTokenExpiry TokenExpiry}. The former specifies how many times a token can be tested with on the server side, and the latter says when a generated token will expire. To specify the appearance of the generated token image, set {@link setTokenImageTheme TokenImageTheme} to be an integer between 0 and 63. And to adjust the generated image size, set {@link setTokenFontSize TokenFontSize} (you may also set {@link TWebControl::setWidth Width}, but the scaled image may not look good.) By setting {@link setChangingTokenBackground ChangingTokenBackground} to true, the image background of the token will be variating even though the token is the same during postbacks. Upon postback, user input can be validated by calling {@link validate()}. The {@link TCaptchaValidator} control can also be used to do validation, which provides client-side validation besides the server-side validation. By default, the token will remain the same during multiple postbacks. A new one can be generated by calling {@link regenerateToken()} manually. The following template shows a typical use of TCaptcha control:

Method Details

checkRequirements() public static method

TCaptach requires GD2 with TrueType font support and PNG image support.
public static checkRequirements ( ) : boolean
return boolean whether the requirements are satisfied.

generatePrivateKeyFile() protected method

Generates a file with a randomly generated private key.
protected generatePrivateKeyFile ( ) : string
return string the path of the file keeping the private key

generateRandomKey() protected method

protected generateRandomKey ( ) : string
return string a randomly generated key

generateToken() protected method

Generates the token.
protected generateToken ( $publicKey, $privateKey, $alphabet, $tokenLength, $caseSensitive ) : string
return string the token generated.

getCaptchaScriptFile() protected method

protected getCaptchaScriptFile ( ) : string
return string the file path of the PHP script generating the token image

getCaseSensitive() public method

public getCaseSensitive ( ) : boolean
return boolean whether the token should be treated as case-sensitive. Defaults to true.

getChangingTokenBackground() public method

public getChangingTokenBackground ( ) : boolean
return boolean whether the background of the token image should be variated during postbacks. Defaults to false.

getFontFile() protected method

protected getFontFile ( )

getIsTokenExpired() public method

public getIsTokenExpired ( ) : boolean
return boolean whether the currently generated token has expired.

getMaxTokenLength() public method

public getMaxTokenLength ( ) : integer
return integer the maximum length of the token. Defaults to 6.

getMinTokenLength() public method

public getMinTokenLength ( ) : integer
return integer the minimum length of the token. Defaults to 4.

getPrivateKey() public method

public getPrivateKey ( ) : string
return string the private key used for generating the token. This is randomly generated and kept in a file for persistency.

getPublicKey() public method

public getPublicKey ( ) : string
return string the public key used for generating the token. A random one will be generated and returned if this is not set.

getTestLimit() public method

public getTestLimit ( ) : integer
return integer how many times a generated token can be tested. Defaults to 5.

getToken() public method

public getToken ( ) : string
return string the token that will be displayed

getTokenAlphabet() public method

public getTokenAlphabet ( ) : string
return string the characters that may appear in the token. Defaults to '234578adefhijmnrtABDEFGHJLMNRT'.

getTokenExpiry() public method

public getTokenExpiry ( ) : integer
return integer the number of seconds that a generated token will remain valid. Defaults to 600 seconds (10 minutes).

getTokenFontSize() public method

public getTokenFontSize ( ) : integer
return integer the font size used for displaying the token in an image. Defaults to 30.

onPreRender() public method

Configures the image URL that shows the token.
public onPreRender ( $param )

regenerateToken() public method

By default, a token, once generated, will remain the same during the following page postbacks. Calling this method will generate a new token.
public regenerateToken ( )

setCaseSensitive() public method

public setCaseSensitive ( $value )

setChangingTokenBackground() public method

public setChangingTokenBackground ( $value )

setTokenFontSize() public method

setTokenImageTheme() public method

You may test each theme to find out the one you like the most. Below is the explanation of the theme value: It is treated as a 5-bit integer. Each bit toggles a specific feature of the image. Bit 0 (the least significant): whether the image is opaque (1) or transparent (0). Bit 1: whether we should add white noise to the image (1) or not (0). Bit 2: whether we should add a grid to the image (1) or not (0). Bit 3: whether we should add some scribbles to the image (1) or not (0). Bit 4: whether the image background should be morphed (1) or not (0). Bit 5: whether the token text should cast a shadow (1) or not (0).
public setTokenImageTheme ( $value )

validate() public method

Validates a user input with the token.
public validate ( $input ) : boolean
return boolean if the user input is not the same as the token.
