Fantastic script, is there any way to have a sound button included to play the sound rather than download it?

Reply from Peter: That’s certainly possible, but you’d most likely need to embed some sort of Flash player — something I have not looked at.

Hi Remo, the first few versions I created used a text file. However, it was too easy to crack since it mapped specific numbers to specific words, and this mapping never changed. To combat this problem, every time someone visits a comment page, a new number (mapping to a word) is generated, which is valid for only one use for 24 hours. A database was more efficient for this purpose and thus I had to trade off easier technical requirements for better efficiency and effectiveness.

I just installed the non-wordpress version of Peter’s Custom Anti-Spam for input forms. A great thing but there’s one annoying thing – the MySQL requirement. There are so little information needed for a captcha, wouldn’t it be better if there’s just a text file that contains all the word, without the need of a database?

Version 1.1 has now been released, with the features such as audio capabilities of the WordPress plugin version 3.0.3.

Hi Frank, sorry for the slow reply. Your comment got stuck in a very odd WordPress hole. Anyway, I will put it on my list to update this standalone version to include audio capabilities.

Hi Peter,
Very interested in your captcha, but I was disappointed to discover the stand alone version doesn't have the wonderful audio feature the latest WP version has…

Any chance the stand alone version will be updated, or that you'd give some pointers on how to attempt to implement the wp version as stand alone…?

many thanks!
Frank

Good question. Let's go with the LGPL. Basically, I want to allow people the freedom to do anything with it that they want (even sell things that use it), except that they must say where they got the code. If I ever get the time, I need to update the code with all of the improvements that were made to the WordPress version.
