Usage

A basic use case resembles the following:

// Originating request:
$captcha = new Laminas\Captcha\Figlet([
    'name'    => 'foo',
    'wordLen' => 6,
    'timeout' => 300,
]);

$id = $captcha->generate();

// This will output a Figlet string:
echo $captcha->getFiglet()->render($captcha->getWord());

// On a subsequent request:
// Assume a captcha setup as before, with corresponding form fields, the value
// of $_POST['foo'] would be a key/value array containing:
// - id => captcha ID
// - input => captcha value
if ($captcha->isValid($_POST['foo'], $_POST)) {
    // Validated!
}

The above example demonstrates usage of a FIGlet string for the CAPTCHA. laminas-captcha also provides adapters for:

• Images
• reCAPTCHA

and an interface allowing you to define and implement your own solutions.

The options required will vary based on the adapter you use, but in all cases, you will use the combination of:

• generate()
• some mechanism of the adapter to render the CAPTCHA
• isValid() to validate a submitted CAPTCHA solution
