A simple PHP CAPTCHA script
===========================

[](#a-simple-php-captcha-script)

This packaged is modified version of [simple-php-captcha](https://github.com/yasirmturk/simple-php-captcha).

This code is the object oriented version of the original code.

I also tried to do minor improvements (dynamic path for fonts and background images)

Basic usage
-----------

0 - Install the package:

```

```

1- Create a captcha object:

```
$captcha = new Captcha();

```

2- Draw image

```
$captcha->config();
$image = $capthca->getImage();

//in the view
echo "";

//or in ajax response to a refresh request:
echo $image;

```

or validate the code:
