Never a valid answer

Never a valid answer

I have placed the security features in my form that include the captcha and security question. Even if I put the correct answer it doesn't validate. I did not apply anything with security assist thinking this is a stand alone product which should validate automatically if the answer is correct.

Guidance on the matter would be great. I didn't see anything in UE or FB that would help me with it.

Can you send a copy of your file so I can examine the code.

Here it is

I went ahead and recreated the form and applied universal email to it. Everything seems to work well until I send it. The only thing that errors is the security question even if it's the correct answer.

The file is attached.

Once the first error occurs I have to restart the browser in order to eliminate the message. I can go to any other page and return and the message is still there.

Thank your for looking into this.

try changing line 15:

php:

$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateLE((isset($_POST["fieldset_group_nbsp"])?$_POST["fieldset_group_nbsp"]:"") . "",((isset($_SESSION["random_answer"]))?strtolower($_SESSION["random_answer"]):"") . "",true,5);

to:

php:

$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateLE((isset($_POST["fieldset_group_nbsp"])?strtolower($_POST["fieldset_group_nbsp"]):"") . "",((isset($_SESSION["random_answer"]))?strtolower($_SESSION["random_answer"]):"") . "",true,5);

I'm afraid that didn't work. You can verify functionality at zona dot zonapromo dot net.

I changed the code and uploaded the new file and nothing. I had seen that in another post and tried it with no success. My issue is with numbers also not necessarily with upper lower issues. But then again, I know no php so your suggestion was well received.

Just to double check that it is the Security Question failing, find the following code:

php:

if ($WAFV_Errors != "")  {

    PostResult($WAFV_Redirect,$WAFV_Errors,"contactZonaPromo");

  }

and change it to:

php:

if ($WAFV_Errors != "")  {

    die($WAFV_Errors);

    PostResult($WAFV_Redirect,$WAFV_Errors,"contactZonaPromo");

  }

this will write a comma separated list of numbers to the screen representing the validations that failed, please post that list back so I can look into this further.

So here's the result of that.

A blank page using the same url for the contact page with the following type:

,5

You can check the functionality at contactZonaPromo.php

OK, so it is the security question that is failing validation,

To get a little more information on the problem, can you change the die statement:

php:

die($WAFV_Errors);

to:

php:

echo("<pre>");
var_dump($_SESSION);
echo("</pre><br />");
die($WAFV_Errors."|".$_SESSION["random_answer"]."|".$_POST["fieldset_group_nbsp"]);

and post back the results.

11/10/2009 5:44 pm | #9 jc1cell390254

here's the result of that:

array(3) {
["random_answer"]=>
&string(4) "cold"
["captcha_fieldset_group_Security_code"]=>
&string(5) "sDRN9"
["WAVT_contactZonaPromo_Errors"]=>
&string(0) ""
}

,5|cold|5

one more thing to try, After the <body> tag, add:

php:

<pre><?php var_dump($_SESSION); ?></pre>

also send a copy of your WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_CaptchaSecurityQuestion.php
