Using EasyCaptchas on your site


Step 1: Add this code to your form:
<input name="captcha" size="16"/>
<img id="captchaimg" src="http://www.EasyCaptchas.com/[UNIQUE_SESSION_ID].captcha.gif" />
<a href="http://easycaptchas.com/" onclick="document.getElementById('captchaimg').src+='?rf=1';return false;" style="font-size:9px">refresh</a><br />
<!-- Free Captcha provided courtesy of www.EasyCaptchas.com (please do not remove this link) -->
<noscript><a href="http://easycaptchas.com/" onclick="return false;" style="display:none">Captcha</a></noscript>
Step 2: Replace the [UNIQUE_SESSION_ID] variable above with a unique string that you generate. Make sure this is different for each user on your web site and you can access this on the page where the form submits to. Usually this would be a sessionID or similar unique token, combined with your domain name. Please avoid using special characters.

Step 3: On the next page (where your form submits), make an HTTP request to validate the captcha.
http://easycaptchas.com/check.aspx?sessionid=[UNIQUE_SESSION_ID]&input=[VALUE_OF_CAPTCHA]
[UNIQUE_SESSION_ID] must be the same unique value you passed in when you called the image.
[VALUE_OF_CAPTCHA] must be the text that the user typed into the "captcha" form field.
This page will return TRUE if it matched or FALSE if it didn't.

Customize your EasyCaptcha


Easily customize the size, colors and look of your EasyCaptcha by passing URL parameters on the image request.
