CCaptchaAction

Package system.web.widgets.captcha
Inheritance class CCaptchaAction » CAction » CComponent
Implements IAction
Since 1.0
Source Code framework/web/widgets/captcha/CCaptchaAction.php
CCaptchaAction renders a CAPTCHA image.

CCaptchaAction is used together with CCaptcha and CCaptchaValidator to provide the CAPTCHA feature.

You must configure properties of CCaptchaAction to customize the appearance of the generated image.

Note, CCaptchaAction requires PHP GD2 extension.

Using CAPTCHA involves the following steps:
  1. Override CController::actions() and register an action of class CCaptchaAction with ID 'captcha'.
  2. In the form model, declare an attribute to store user-entered verification code, and declare the attribute to be validated by the 'captcha' validator.
  3. In the controller view, insert a CCaptcha widget in the form.

Property Details

backColor property
public integer $backColor;

the background color. For example, 0x55FF00. Defaults to 0xFFFFFF, meaning white color.

backend property (available since v1.1.13)
public string $backend;

the graphic extension that will be used to draw CAPTCHA image. Possible values are 'gd', 'imagick' and null. Null value means that fallback mode will be used: ImageMagick is preferred over GD. Default value is null.

fixedVerifyCode property (available since v1.1.4)
public string $fixedVerifyCode;

the fixed verification code. When this is property is set, getVerifyCode will always return this value. This is mainly used in automated tests where we want to be able to reproduce the same verification code each time we run the tests. Defaults to null, meaning the verification code will be randomly generated.

fontFile property
public string $fontFile;

the TrueType font file. Defaults to SpicyRice.ttf which is provided with the Yii release. Note that non-free Duality.ttf has been changed to open/free SpicyRice.ttf since 1.1.14.

foreColor property
public integer $foreColor;

the font color. For example, 0x55FF00. Defaults to 0x2040A0 (blue color).

height property
public integer $height;

the height of the generated CAPTCHA image. Defaults to 50.

maxLength property
public integer $maxLength;

the maximum length for randomly generated word. Defaults to 7.

minLength property
public integer $minLength;

the minimum length for randomly generated word. Defaults to 6.

offset property (available since v1.1.7)
public integer $offset;

the offset between characters. Defaults to -2. You can adjust this property in order to decrease or increase the readability of the captcha.

padding property
public integer $padding;

padding around the text. Defaults to 2.

sessionKey property read-only
protected string getSessionKey()

Returns the session variable name used to store verification code.

testLimit property
public integer $testLimit;

how many times should the same CAPTCHA be displayed. Defaults to 3. A value less than or equal to 0 means the test is unlimited (available since version 1.1.2).

transparent property
public boolean $transparent;

whether to use transparent background. Defaults to false.

verifyCode property read-only
public string getVerifyCode(boolean $regenerate=false)

Gets the verification code.

width property
public integer $width;

the width of the generated CAPTCHA image. Defaults to 120.
