Being annoyed with the complexity of existing captcha implementations (PStore, temporary files - wtf?), I rolled my own and turned it into an easy-to-use webservice: http://captchator.ruby-forum.com/
I only have an example for using it with PHP there, but it's so trivial to implement that any further examples seem unnecessary.
Please tell me what you think.
Hello,
I hope my response will not annoy you.
I am very new to rails and would like to implement your captchator on a simple web form. Is there a set of directions for "implementing Andreas' captchator for dummies"? I get the basic concept, but I am learning the whole ruby on rails thing now and it's still a bit fuzzy in my mind. I was able to get the captchator image to display
Next you say to:
Create or modify an existing form with a text field to send the captcha answer to your script. (I'm not sure where or how to do this)
Then:
Your script needs to check the submitted captcha answer for correctness. To do so, it loads the following URL from the Captchator server:| (where do I do this?)
http://captchator.com/captcha/check_answer/$yoursessionid/$answer
(and where and how do I do this?) If the answer is correct, the result is "1", if not, it is "0".
Any help you could give would be VERY MUCH appreciated.
