captcha.class.php error

line 259

$iv = mcrypt_create_iv (mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size($td), MCRYPT_DEV_RANDOM)

The last parameter does not work on my system:
* XP Pro SP2
* Apache 2.x
* PHP 5.x

I had to change it to:

$iv = mcrypt_create_iv (mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size($td), MCRYPT_RAND);

Hope this helps someone else.

Yes, you are right.

"The source can be MCRYPT_RAND (system random number generator), MCRYPT_DEV_RANDOM (read data from /dev/random) and MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM (read data from /dev/urandom). MCRYPT_RAND is the only one supported on Windows because Windows (of course) doesn't have /dev/random or /dev/urandom."

So for Windows, must use only MCRYPT_RAND.
I will add this comment to class.

Thank you!

Thanks for the "fix", but...

Now I get this error...

Notice: Undefined property: Captcha::$use_windows

I don't see where this var class property is defined...

$this->use_windows

????

For some strange reason, the file on phpclasses was not updated.
Now, it's ok.

This was the missing line:

private $use_windows = 0; // 1 - if you'll use windows 0 - if don't
// until here

Thanks for your message.

Thanks for that "fix", but may I suggest instead...

line 45: (move it from line 40)
private $use_windows = false;

line 53:

// See if this is a WINDOWS box, or not
$this->use_windows();

line 165: (line 162 if you didn't insert above lines)

//======================================================================

private function use_windows() {
if ( isset($_SERVER['WINDIR']) )
$this->use_windows = true;
