Captcha not loading

[tobyw7]

Hi!

I have noticed the captcha has stopped loading

https://www.frantik-web.co.uk/pages/contact.php

I'm using MPForm for the form module.

Any ideas at all? I can't immediately see any errors in web console in Firefox.

Thx

Hi, what are your versions of WB, PHP and MPform?
What have you done before or what was your last changes?

there is a php warning from the captcha generator:

Code: [Select]

<br /><b>Deprecated</b>:  Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is deprecated in <b>.../include/captcha/captchas/create_ttf_image.php</b> on line <b>60</b><br />With this output in the png file it is a corrupt image which the browser doesn't know how to render...

in PHP 7.4 curly braces are deprecated. There are 2 files you have to fix.

search in /include/captcha/captchas/create_calc_ttf_image.php following line (should be line 70)
                $res = imagettftext($image, $ttfsize, $angle, $x, $y, $textcolor, $ttf, $text{$i});
and change to
                $res = imagettftext($image, $ttfsize, $angle, $x, $y, $textcolor, $ttf, $text[$i]);

and the same in /include/captcha/captchas/create_ttf_image.php following line (should be line 60)

For reference,

Our next WB version will support PHP 7.4.
WB 2.12.2 is only for max PHP 7.3
