Hello friends,

I am new to php and was following a youtube tutorial

to create captcha

but the code doesn't generate  random number as i see in the tutorial

 

here is the code

 

index.php

<?php
 //ini_set('display_errors','1');
//error_reporting(E_ALL);
  session_start();
  
  $_SESSION["secure"] =rand(1000,9999);
?>

<img src="generate.php"/>

and the code for generate.php

<?php
session_start();
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");

$text =$_SESSION["secure"];
$font_size =30;

$image_width =200;
$image_height =40;

$image = imagecreate($image_width,$image_height);

imagecolorallocate($image,255,255,255);

$text_color = imagecolorallocate($image,0,0,0);

imagettftext($image,$font_size,0,15,30,$text_color,"font.ttf",$text);
imagejpeg($image);
?>

i have attached the font.ttf file font.ttf

but when i run index.php all i see is blank page

i checked php error log on wamp server

it says the error on this line

Quote

 imagettftext($image,$font_size,0,15,30,$text_color,"font.ttf",$text);

but not sure how to fix

 

any help will be highly appreciated

replaced font.ttf file

why is your font named font.ttf.ttf? i.e. a double extension?

I replaced it with font.ttf but still same result..blank page

Lots of useful advice here along with working examples:

I suspect the error is your font path
