Random Verification Questions

Version: 1.00 Date 2009-8-8
Compatibility: SMF 1.1.7..

Features

Adds Random verification questions.  You can add up to 2 questions which must be answered by the applicant before registration is permitted.

The administrator creates up to 2 text files of questions and answers with "~" delimiter and places the files in the Sources directory. the registration program then parses the file and randomly selects a Q & A from each file and presents them on the registration screen.

These can be used for anti spam as in the original Mod or for registering a community of people who have common knowledge of the questions being asked.
(this is the reason I made the Modifications to this Mod....)

The questions should be kept relatively short  to be able to fit on one line per question. the text file can have any name, but must use the format

What month is has 28 days normally~february
What state is the largest~alaska
What color are bananas~yellow


Configuration

The settings for this modification are located in Admin -> Members -> Registration -> Settings.

Thanks,

I'm glad it might be useful for others....

I would like to start doing more programming, and this is a cool way to hone the skills needed. Any feedback or insight is welcomed.

at every reg i see this on error log:

Code Select Expand

8: Undefined offset: 1
File: /blablabla/forum/Sources/Register.php
Line: 201

the code block is:

if (!empty($modSettings['rnd_ver_file_1']) && file_exists($sourcedir . '/' . $modSettings['rnd_ver_file_1']))
      {
      $QA_file = fopen($sourcedir . '/' . $modSettings['rnd_ver_file_1'], 'r');
      while(!feof($QA_file))
         $qna[]= fgets($QA_file);
      fclose($QA_file);   
      array_pop($qna);
      shuffle($qna);
      $qna = explode("~", $qna[0]);
      $modSettings['rnd_ver_ques_1']= $qna[0];// question from file
      $txt['rnd_ver_ans_1'] = $qna[1];//answer from file
    
      }
   if (!empty($modSettings['rnd_ver_file_2']) && file_exists($sourcedir . '/' . $modSettings['rnd_ver_file_2']))
      {
      $QA_file = fopen($sourcedir . '/' . $modSettings['rnd_ver_file_2'], 'r');
      while(!feof($QA_file))
         $qna[]= fgets($QA_file);
      fclose($QA_file);

      $qna = explode("~", $qna[0]);
      $modSettings['rnd_ver_ques_2']= $qna[0];// question from file

This mod is great except for that as I have been refreshing the registration page to see the questions randomly cycle through, sometimes there will be errors, such as:

brown :

green :

Answer all questions below
What color sounds like bold?:    
gold :
