Web Wiz CAPTCHA has been designed so that it can be intergrated into your own sites web forms in the most simplest way. Web Wiz CAPTCHA adds a security code in image format to your web forms that requires the user to type in the correct code, shown in image format, into a textbox so that the submitted web form is then processed. The idea of CAPTCHA images is that robots, OCR software, etc. can not read in the CAPTCHA image code and so therefore can not correctly submit the form. This is useful to protect your web forms form hacking and spamming software robots and remote form submission. If you have not downloaded this application from Web Wiz Guide then check for the latest version at: - http://www.webwizCAPTCHA.com This application uses ASP and must be run through a web sever supporting ASP. =========================================================================================== Using Web Wiz CAPTCHA =========================================================================================== 1. Unzip all the files keeping the directory structure intact. 2. Files must be run through an ASP enabled web server or on ASP enabled web space. (check with your hosting company). 3. Point your web browser to the example file 'example.asp' to check that it runs correctly on the server you have installed the software on. =========================================================================================== Integration of Web Wiz CAPTCHA =========================================================================================== Hopefully you should find the software easy to integrate. The files 'example.asp' and 'example_process_form.asp' are ONLY used as an example of how Web Wiz CAPTCHA works. 1. Place the folder, and it's contents, named 'CAPTCHA' into the same directory that your web form you wish to integrate Web Wiz CAPTCHA into is within. 2. The web page that contains the HTML web form you wish to integrate Web Wiz CAPTCHA into must have an .asp extension (eg. my_own_form_file.asp (this is an example file name and not a real file)) 3. Open your web form in a text editor and place the following code into the part of your form where you wish the CAPTCHA image and textarea to be:- 4. Open the file in a text editor that is to process your web form input, and place the following code at the top of the file (not within ASP blocks):- 5. Now within the file you entered the code from the last step into you can call the following variable to check that the CAPTCHA code entered is correct. blnCAPTCHAcodeCorrect If the CAPTCHA code entered is correct the above variable with be set to true, if the CAPTCHA code has not been entered correctly the variable will be set to false. 5.1 Below is some sample code to check the CAPTCHA code is correct:- <% If blnCAPTCHAcodeCorrect = True Then Response.Write(" CAPTCHA code is correct") ElseIf blnCAPTCHAcodeCorrect = False Then Response.Write(" CAPTCHA code is NOT correct") End If %> That should be it, hopefully now you have successfully integrated Web Wiz CAPTCHA into your web form. =========================================================================================== Customising Web Wiz CAPTCHA =========================================================================================== 1.
