# AVCaptcha



- Version 1.2.1.

- This is a simple drop-in anti-spam CAPTCHA script written in PHP.

- It is loosely based on the CodeWalkers.com Simple PHP CAPTCHA (no longer online).

- Provided without any warranty or implication of fitness for any purpose.

- CAPTCHA difficulty (strength) is low to moderate, however custom captchas are usually not already broken by spammers.

- Extend this sample project to build your own captcha!

- You may use and modify this script for any purpose as long as this README.md file and the following line is kept with the script:

## Usage

Refer to the example.php file for a complete usage example.

Configuration settings are found at the top of the avcaptcha.php file.

## Fonts

True Type Fonts can be found in various places online. Google's *Viga* font has been included as an example. Recommended to use an unusual font to increase captcha strength. Sans-serif fonts are more difficult.

- Find the .ttf file you desire and place it in the resources/fonts/ directory in this avcaptcha directory.

- Edit the settings in avcaptcha.php to set the correct font file.
