[PHP] Re: Audio CAPTCHA
2007. 02. 27, kedd keltezéssel 14.15-kor tedd ezt írta: Németh: (call me Zoltán please as that's my first name ;) ) As you know, I'm having more problems with my CAPTCHA experiment, so back to basics. (as my mum used to say No good deed goes unpunished. I need your review. All you have to do is to test if the following links produce sound as indicated in the browsers you have? Link one: http://www.sperling.com/a/a1/index.php Clicking Zero should produce the sound Zero and leave your browser cold -- it will probably leave it showing a player of some sort. XP/IE7: opens up windows media player, plays 0.au which says Zero Linux/Firefox: opens 0.au with /usr/lib/mime/playaudio, sound is only noise Link two: http://www.sperling.com/a/a1/index1.php Clicking Zero should produce the sound Zero and then bring your browser back to the original page. XP/IE7: works fine Linux/Firefox: tells me I have to install some plugin, then redirects to the original page Link three: http://www.sperling.com/a/a1/index2.php Clicking Zero should produce the sound Zero and then One and then bring your browser back to the original page. XP/IE7: works fine Linux/Firefox: redirects ok, but needs plugin as above it's probably an issue that it needs plugin to play .au files, I am not an expert in browser audio ;) if so, please tell me what plugin to install and I can try again with that hope that helps Zoltán Németh For me, all the above sounds work, except for Opera 9.0 for the Mac -- it works for Link one but does not work for Link two and Link three. IE 5.2 for the Mac needs a refresh to jump start it. In other words, the very first time for link two and link three I have to do it twice to get it to work. Take your time -- no rush on this. I just need to know what browsers work and which don't. Thanks for your help. tedd -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Well... a good deal of the code is php and a mix of a bunch of other stuff (we don't live in a vacuum) -- so please permit me this indulgence. Personally, I think this would be quite easy to do in flash... tho' I don't really know flash, it just seems like the kind of thing it would be good at :) Also look at some of the mods for e.g. phpBB, as I'm sure they've got audible captchas and the like. As I pointed out to Tedd off-list... How many blind users are going to bother to install Flash?... And, of course, Linux users are SOL, unless they've finally got their new version out of Beta where people can find it. Unless you're Richard Lynch, who has GIVEN UP on installing Flash ever again, since it always sucks down way too much RAM and CPU and frequently crashes, and you can't leave the browser open after you use it without sacrificing all that RAM/CPU you'll never get back again (until you close all the browser down)... I've reached a point where my Flash experiences have been too unpleasant to make it worth installing (much like Microsoft software) and my usual entree (Google) almost always finds me a non-Flash version of the content I wanted. I haven't missed it yet. And it's nice to have a lot of ads replaced with a simple white box with a green puzzle piece. :-) This is OBVIOUSLY just my personal opinion and choice! YMMV -- Some people have a gift link here. Know what I want? I want you to buy a CD from some starving artist. http://cdbaby.com/browse/from/lynch Yeah, I get a buck.
