For some reason it seems the Zend_Captcha component is creating two images instead of one because it is seeing two session ids. I dont know why this is so or where the other is coming from
On running print_r($captcha->getSession(), only one session echoes out. So i wonder where the second is coming from and i dont have any persistent session active. I have found a solution to the validation - though i dont think it is ideal but i need to get this working. On generation of the captcha image i sent to the word to the view to a hidden field. On form submisssion i simply check the entered text with that of the generated captcha word from the hidden field for sameness. if same then the user has entered the right text. Thanks for the code. Am not using Zend_Form for my forms. Am using plain html. I just didnt find it flexible enough for views such as floating three drop downs side by side and etc. It was taking too much of my time trying to make my view display as intended. Thanks for the code anyway. dele454 wrote: > > Thanks for the code. Am not using Zend_Form for my forms. Am using plain > html.
