Fork

[S1SYPHOS]

Hey there,
I just released v2 of my fork. I migrated issues & open PRs, added some new features, fixed bugs, added GIF & PNG support, some helper functions & extended its test suite - today I saw your statement in #102 that it's been a long time and I guess you've got many other things on your plate ..

Many thanks for this library,
cheers

@S1SYPHOS Do you plan to create a Symfony Bundle for it? We have issues there and get no response. See Gregwar/CaptchaBundle#231

[S1SYPHOS]

@blankse I didn't plan to, and frankly I don't think I will, since I don't use Symfony myself. I don't know how to properly setup & test such a plugin, and looking at the PRs and issues on the plugin this seems like quite a lot of work ..

I'm sorry, but that's something @Gregwar would have to take care of.

I also forked this to https://github.com/diversen/Captcha
It just fixes the issues #100
Which means that it will work on php8.1 (at least in my use-case)

[S1SYPHOS]

I did a little more than that 😀

[Gregwar]

Hello,
@S1SYPHOS would you mind reflecting your changes here ?
I am sorry I only have little time to maintain this repository, I am ok with other people taking care 🙂

[bytestream]

@Gregwar I can help in a maintenance capacity if you'd like.

@Gregwar Sorry for my late reply, but here goes:

First of all, I fixed #60, #80, #84, #91 and #100 and applied PRs #74, #89, #92, #95 and #101. While doing so, I refactored a lot of code and added full support for PHP8. Most changes are listed below the first v2 beta release, see here.

Later on, I added features like "background noise" (using small random letters), custom fonts and optional support for tesseract-ocr, hex color support was added as well as docstrings and such, writing virtual files when testing, improved (yet still basic) tests .. and just keeping things as DRY as possible 😁

[Gregwar]

If it is still code compatible with the current version (keeps most of BC, especially the Sf bundle), maybe we could change things here directly, would you agree doing that @S1SYPHOS , if I add you to the owners ?

@bytestream are you using the Sf Bundle? Looks like @S1SYPHOS is not using it so maybe we can have another pair of eyes on this matter to keep things compatible 🙂

[bytestream]

@bytestream are you using the Sf Bundle?

I'm afraid not. We use Laravel and are using this package directly.

[S1SYPHOS]

At this point, it's not even close to being compatible 😀 since I'm not using Symfony (never have tbh), I don't know how to test this even if I helped migrate the bundle 😕

[Gregwar]

I see, it drifted too much
I will try to find a slot to ensure that this is compatible with 8.0 / 8.1 at least (and doesn't break Sf bundle as well)

[bytestream]

@Gregwar I think at a minimum you can merge the below to cover PHP 8.0 and 8.1 without breaking anything:

1. Add GitHub workflows #105
2. Exclude files from composer distribution #106
3. PHP Deprecated: Implicit conversion from float, CaptchaBuilder.php on… #101
4. delete invalid break #92

@Gregwar Would be great if you could merge the above, that looks like all that is needed at the moment.
