Hello!
This question may have been asked already - but unfortunately, I could not find any satisfactory answers. I will just ask it for my
concrete case and ask the admins not to delete the question for at least a few days so I can try it out...
I have a page. It uses a captcha. Like so:
<?php
session_start(); // the captcha saves the md5 into the session
?>
<img src="captcha.php" onclick="this.src = this.src" />
That was my first code. It did not work, because the browser condsidered it useless to reload an image if the source is the same. My current solution is to pass a get parameter:
onclick="this.src = 'captcha.php?randomNumber='+ranNum"
The JavaScript variable var ranNum is generated randomly every time the onclick event fires. It works fine, still, I don't like the possibility, if the - though improbable - case of two numbers being the same twice in a row. Although the random number varies between -50,000 and 50,000 - I still do not like it. And I don't think the method is right. I would like to know the 'righter' method, by means of AJAX. I know it's possible. I hope you know how it's possible ^^ In that case, please show me.
Thanks in advance!
By the way - if I spell cap(t)cha differently, never mind, the reference to the PHP file is right in my code: I use randomImage.php
