Re: [PHP] where's waldo
You could always use the GD image library to create an image and use javascript to send back the coordinates of the mouse click. From the mouse click, the javascript variables would be sent back to the server to interpret and check for correctness. This way they can't look at the code to find where waldo is at.

RE: [PHP] where's waldo
One more thing... if you store your 'waldo co-ordinates' data in a text file, make sure it is in a directory outside of the webtree... - Kev -Original Message- From: Kevin Porter [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 25 September 2002 16:52 To: '@ Edwin'; Marek Kilimajer Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] where's waldo Or, a simple way... When you show your image, make sure it is a form submit button of 'type=image'. On the PHP side you know the X and Y co-ordinates of waldo. When the user clicks on the image, the place they clicked on the image is passed along the URL in 'x' and 'y' variables. On the PHP side, check if their co-ordinates are close enough, if so give them the next (harder) image. If they're not near enough, make sure they get served a 'sorry - try again' message followed by the same image. That should work, yeah? I used to do spot the ball competitions this way at least...

Good idea! And your idea about this is also great: input type="image" src="myimage.xxx" name="thename" / It should work...
