Runf: One thing to try is making sure you are consistent with the URL options for your site in the script. If your options use ‘www.test.com’ but you are viewing the site without the ‘www.’ that can cause several verification scripts out there to not work, as the cookie used to hold the verification code things the domain is different.

I have had the GB working at my personal site, jazzdrummer.com for quite some time now.
I’m trying to set up a GB for a client. I’ve been having no luck with the verification. I’ve tried so many combinations of permissions and path variations that I’ve lost count.
As a last resort, I copied my working GB to the new site, changed the paths where applicable but otherwise copied exactly the working GB files and set permissions the same as the working GB. No luck.
Please help. It seems many people are having trouble with the validation images. GD is supported by my server btw.
Thanks.

Thanks, very useful, it sure would be great to have a dedicated hosting facility so we wouldn’t have to make go through channels to make those changes.

Thanks, It really helped me on my new server.
It will be good if you put some information on installing GD.

Cool I made fully basic testing scirpt based off your tester for GD. Makes easyer for iwndows users to turn on things like curl and GD. Good work and thank you for the share!

does your check GD script work for php_gd2.dll?….because i enabled it in php.ini and told php.ini where to find the dll but your test GD script says its not installed…I’ve verified that i correctly configured php.ini but still no GD according to your script.I also used php info script and GD doesn’t show up in it neither.

Jack: I see you have verification removed right now on your form. Send me an email when you have it enabled and I will check something.

Ray: To disable verification in the formmailer script, set the veirfication field option to “” and remove the verification line from the form structure.

I apologize, but a couple of times you mention in the website… “read above to learn how to disable GD.” and I can’t find where you have laid out those steps… For now I just deleted the line about verification. But it still gives me the error message. How can I disable GD so it stops giving me the error message at the top of the contact page… textorservice.com | contact. Thanks for your help. Great code by the way.

george: If you do not have direct access to the server (to recompile Apache), you will just have to ask your web host to see if they can enable GD for you.

Terje: The non-caching code has actually already been added to the new version of my formmailer script/plugin (as well as new session code), although it is not ready for public release yet. It will also be added to the guestbook script eventually when I have time to update that one

To avoid the verification image being cached, and thereby not changing to the user, one could add two lines of code to the start of ddbb.php:


header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past

Everyone who are experiencing issues with displaying the verification image should first check if session cookies are enabled for the site in question. The author might want to mention this in the documentation and the script output.
