Title: Captcha not loading
Post by: tobyw7 on November 11, 2020, 10:13:40 PM: Hi!

I have noticed the captcha has stopped loading

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

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

Post by: Luisehahne on November 12, 2020, 01:32:27 PM: 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)
