:) I ran your script and I didn't get any error. Maybe you are getting the error because there is no space after

if(!isset($_SESSION)){session_register('captcha');}

Replace this line by this.

if(!isset($_SESSION['captcha'])){ session_register('captcha'); }

Cheers,
Naveen

That wouldn't fix anything. There is a } at the end which is for 'for loop'. You just closed the 'for loop' after 'if loop'. That would generate an error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE

That's strange! do you have error_reporting turned on on your local system ?

session_start() should be very top of the file before returning any HTML output and should not have empty line or space between php opening tag and session_start(). Move 'session_start()' before any html tags. Below is the valid format.

<?php
session_start();
?>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/styles.css" />
</head>
<body>

<?php
if(!isset($_SESSION['captcha']))
{
	session_register('captcha');
}

$PHP_SELF = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$stringa = '';
$cifre = 5;
for($i=1;$i<=$cifre;$i++)
{
	$letteraOnumero = rand(1,2);
	if($letteraOnumero == 1)
	{
		// lettera
		$lettere = 'ABEFHKMNRVWX';
		$x = rand(1,11);
		$lettera = substr($lettere,$x,1);
		$stringa .= $lettera;
	}
	else
	{
		$numero = rand(3,7);
		$stringa .= $numero;
	}
}
$_SESSION['captcha'] = $stringa;

unexpected generaly means youve missed a '}' somwhere and php parser has reached the end of the script expecting it get used to error checking
1) get a decent text editor i use textpad which is so so.
2) using your new editor remove parts of code and trial the script until it runs smoothly that way you will narrow down the location of the error.
3) if you find you have messed your script up just (ctrl z)undo it and it will regress to its former state

im fairly new at php but there hasnt been an error that hasnt got passed my 'trial and error' above. hope i helped

$stringa = '';
$cifre = 5;
for($i=1;$i<=$cifre;$i++){

$lettera = substr($lettere,$x,1);
$stringa .= $lettera;
} else {
$numero = rand(3,7);

I dont know about that..

How to check that??

nav33n 472 Purple hazed! Team Colleague Featured Poster · Answer 5 · 2008-02-16T17:33:26+00:00

Open php.ini and search for display_errors. If its off, turn it On. Then look for error_reporting. Uncomment this line. error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT .
Or, add ini_set("display_errors","On"); error_reporting(E_ALL); in your script.

nav33n 472 Purple hazed! Team Colleague Featured Poster · Answer 8 · 2008-02-17T23:52:21+00:00

That means you have an echo statemtn of a html tag before session_start(); .

and it'll not displaying the captcha image..

Check this script. Maybe it isn't doing its job.

altosaxplayer88 -5 Newbie Poster · Answer 9 · 2011-09-01T03:21:54+00:00

You are not allowed to use the <?php ?> tags more than once in you code.
So if you code is like this:

<?php
echo "a";
?>

<?php
echo "b";
?>

This will produce an error because it is used twice.

Do not reply to old threads with a new problem, start a new thread. When you do, use code tags to highlight your source (and highlight the offending line).

aj4mq 0 Newbie Poster · Answer 12 · 2012-09-15T15:55:09+00:00

It took me quite a while to figure this one out myself. I use Xampp for my testing locally (so I don't crash my shared server), then I upload it to the remote system for production.. Get this, your only problem was probably the following line.

// lettera

I don't know why, but not all PHP processors will accept this as a comment. For some reason, it seems to comment the entire rest of the file.

Consider using the other method of commenting
/* lettera */

There was absolutely no reference to this issue when I looked through for a few hours. I eventually chopped my code down by pieces until I figured this one out. Good god.

Hope this helps you and others trying to figure out what the heck is wrong..

Also, you might consider using <? instead of <?php and set your php.ini file to include
short_open_tag=1
