[Audio Captcha] Mod

[VSDan]

Description: Allows person to listen to captcha code. Mod includes audio files. Letter audio files are case insensitive (i.e., small 'm' and big 'M' use same audio file, and sound the same). Therefore, either (1) use numerical {Visual Confirmation} (set via phpLD Admin > Settings > Image Verification), or (2) edit /libs/captcha/captcha.class.php file by changing:

var $phrase_case = "default";

to:

var $phrase_case = "uppercase";

NOTE: Now compatible with ALL versions of phpLD.

very good .... give this in german?
But Women tune:D

[VSDan]

Translations I'll have to leave to others. You just have record a mp3 sound file for each number and letter. If anyone does translations, if you can get the mp3 files to me, I'll add them to the mod ZIP file.

very nice Dan :) this is much needed....will be setting this up on my site after work tonight :)
lol pragent...well i could do it, but afraid my german isn't that great :P you wanna create one and send it my way, i'll practice and do a recording....

[proprod]

This is EXCELLENT, Dan! People, see this and "Get Meta" mod in action at http://www.directmylink.com/submit.php

Even though my captcha is all numbers and non-distorted, lol... this is staying on the directory because of the "cool-factor" ;)

[shadav]

erm....proprod? wrong thread? me ish confusededed
lol sorry...i still haven't installed this mod...but hopefully tonight :D if not i will tomorrow seeing that i don't have to work tomorrow lol

This is useful, I often type in the code wrong because it's so distorted or V looks like U.

pragent - I thought it was a women's voice, kinda deep though...

I'm the same way. I always get these captchas wrong =) The voice is my wife's BTW. French-Canadian. However, usually not that deep at all, but substandard mike and she was getting over a cold =)

[shadav]

is this not compatible with 3.2?
I installed it and changed the captch to only put uppercase letters

a little box opens at the top left of my screen but it stays blank and says it's done loading....

[VSDan]

Do you have an URL?

[shadav]

lol sorry.....http://www.shadav.info/submit.php

[VSDan]

...I'm redirected to root. What does your .htaccess file look like?

erm...i don't have that?
http://www.shadav.info/sounds/data/1177299188.mp3

all that i have is the folder named sounds and the files that was in it 0-9 a-z

[VSDan]

Is there a subdirectory called 'data' in the 'sounds' directory - which is chmod 777 (rwxrwxrwx). Doesn't seem so.

[shadav]

nope no folders in there....pretty sure didn't come with it in the download

[VSDan]

In the case, create a subdirectory called 'data' in the 'sounds' directory, and chmod 777. Then, it'll work.

[shadav]

still not working...i added the folder data to the folder sounds and cmodded it to 777

[VSDan]

Is there any files (like .htaccess file) in the 'sounds/data/' directory. Can you email me your FTP info?

[shadav]

nope no files just the sound files in the sounds folder...sending pm

Hiya,

i am afraid it's the same with me. I can't get it to work with version 3.2.0.
See http://www.deeplookdirectory.com/submit.php
I just purchased a license and i think this is a great tool. Any idea how i can make it work?

Best regards,

Toto

[VSDan]

I believe the problem is that the server is configured to not allow PHP to make system calls. For example, PHP in Safe Mode. The mod uses a system call to construct the sound file by combining the individual sounds files. Can you check with your web host.

[shadav]

unfortunately my host never did tell me what the problem was...
i tried to install this on my other site (different host) same issue...

however lol i was able to install it without any problems for a member on your site lol
so just so ppl know it isn't the mod, it's the hosts :D

[DeepLook]

Thanks guys,

i will check with my host.

@ shadav

How did you got it to work on http://www.shadav.info/submit.php after you had the same problem? If you don't mind me asking? :)

Best regards,

Toto

[VSDan]

It is understandable that web hosts would not allow PHP to make system calls. In a poorly coded application that does not properly taint check, a person could exploit the system call to seriously mess up your server (including your virtual space, and virtual spaces of other clients if you are located on a sharred server). This mod does taint check, so not exploitable. But, many web hosts do not take any chances, and completely shut out the system calls as a general rule as they do not want to spend the time auditing each script for each client making the request.

Is there any .htaccess setting i can add or so? A kinda rewrite thingy (don't know much about this stuff)?

[shadav]

is it working? I can't get it to play..in firefox i keep getting that i need to install the extention or whatever but it won't install

in IE the popup box comes up and i press the spacebar and then it keeps trying to load but never does anything after that....

[DeepLook]

Ups, sorry shadav. i mixed it up with the site from "proprod". :(

Sorry, no. Involves reconfiguring PHP, and restarting web server. You would require root command shell (SSH) access.

[DeepLook]

Ok then. :(

Thanks alot for the help. :)

[davcheong]

Great mod, this way, i won't get complaint on have to refresh few times to see the capcha from my customer. :)

Will try it out.
