Image CAPTCHA requires FT fonts support
you need to change the php configure script to include --with-freetype-dir=/usr/lib64/
where /usr/lib64
contains the libfreetype.so
file.
My final configuration so far looks like:
./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/bin/apxs --enable-bcmath --with-curl --with-gd \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib64/ --with-png-dir=/usr/lib64/ --with-freetype-dir=/usr/lib64/ \
--enable-intl --enable-mbstring --with-mcrypt --with-mhash --with-openssl \
--with-pdo-mysql --enable-soap --with-xsl --enable-zip --enable-opcache --with-config-file-path=/etc
then you need to make;make install;
and restart the web server.
I found fix for development environment, because I use Mac OS and the apache php doesn't support these fonts and it's a lot of work to get it working and not mess up my system.
open vendor/zendframework/zend-captcha/src/Image.php
and add return in the constructor after the parent is called like this
/**
* Constructor
*
* @param array|\Traversable $options
* @throws Exception\ExtensionNotLoadedException
*/
public function __construct($options = null)
{
parent::__construct($options);
return;
if (! extension_loaded("gd")) {
throw new Exception\ExtensionNotLoadedException("Image CAPTCHA requires GD extension");
}
if (! function_exists("imagepng")) {
throw new Exception\ExtensionNotLoadedException("Image CAPTCHA requires PNG support");
}
if (! function_exists("imageftbbox")) {
throw new Exception\ExtensionNotLoadedException("Image CAPTCHA requires FT fonts support");
}
}
