hivtop - March 2, 2008 08:44 PM (GMT)
I tried to get the Turing number script (simple-no db) to work on my server but there is NO IMAGE displayed.
I have:
PHP Version 5.0.4
Apache version 2.0.54
Zend Engine v2.0.4-dev
gd 2.0.33-2
I set l_form.php to 766
dir is set at 750
what am I missing to make it work???? any help would be great...

Did you try opening l_gen.php in another tab (after loading l_form.php)? Also, do you use sessions elsewhere on your server and do they work? Usually, this kind of problem comes from sessions or safe mode.

here goes...
1. after loading l_form.php, I get...
Just checking you are a human and not a cheat bot :). Copy the following number :
(Blank image place holder) blank text box, submit button
2. l_gen.php in a new tap is blank (view source shows only header, nothing in body then </HTML>).
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>
the only web script running on the server is PHP Auction XL (stright cookies, not sessions),
all the standard fedora/webmin/ssh/mail/etc on the server side (all working fine), php safe mode is: off/off
so I guess we are left with sessions.. hahaha
would someone please run a phpinfo.php page on a box with a working turing script and post the session section from it's results, so I can check it against what I have above.
thanks in advance

Sorry for not replying eariler, the e-mail notification seems broken... like many other things on Invision... anyway, here is a working version (I just uncompressed the script and copied it, it worked straight away) and the phpinfo that comes with it :
http://mpam.myftp.biz/test/l_form.phphttp://mpam.myftp.biz/test/Zend optimizer isn't installed. This server only has the latest Apache, PHP and MySQL (although MySQL isn't used here, of course). Sessions seem to cause a lot of trouble to many ppl... You may want to make sure, if you're on Linux, that your session directory (NB: I don't have a clue of where it is) has permissions 777.

your taking awhile made me learn more of php & GD.. hahaha
I found the problem after reading 352 different pages on turing numbers, captcha, php and gd....
The problem was:
yes... GD was installed but "php-gd" was not (I missed the little line that said "without-gd" in the header of phpinfo)... must learn to read the fine print.. hahaha
after installing "php-gd" all is well and working great...
maybe you should add "needs php-gd" to the requirements page.. for us slow people... hahaha
Thanks again for your suggestions and script... now on to intergrating it... hahaha

Ah... that's Linux weird misteries for me... ;) On my Windows installation, I just uncomment the line "extension=php_gd2.dll" in php.ini and *poof* it works. Then I believe that this turing number script doesn't need GD, but only php_gd.
