Not Cleaning Old Images

It works great. this is far more consistent than other captcha out there. Now my only problem is that my temporary directory is stocking up a lot of images when the page is refreshed.

Is there a way to delete past images?

please mail me @ brixter.deleon@paper-soup.com

Hi,

you can use the class-extension within the package to achive that:

"hn_captcha_X1"

(class hn_captcha_X1 extends hn_captcha)

* This class is an extension for hn_captcha-class. It adds a garbage-collector!
*
* Normally all used images will be deleted automatically. But everytime a user
* doesn't finish a request one image stays as garbage in tempfolder.
* With this extension you can collect & trash this.
*
* You can specify:
* - when the garbage-collector should run, (default = after 100 calls)
* - the maxlifetime for images, (default is 600, = 10 minutes)
* - a filename-prefix for the captcha-images (default = 'hn_captcha_')
* - absolute filename for a textfile which stores the current counter-value
* (default is $tempfolder.'hn_captcha_counter.txt')

... (read on in the classfile itself)

Best regards,
Horst
