if not error "Captcha invalid" always failed login to pandi what wrong in my script?
I'm not want to Break Captcha but i want display captcha and user input captcha from my web page, so user can registrar domain dotID from my web automaticaly

Solution 1

A captcha is intended to differentiate between humans and robots (programs). Seems like you are trying to log in with a program. The captcha seems to do its job :).

I don't see a legal way around.

Solution 2

It happens because,
You took your captcha image from first getURL (ie first curl_exec) and processed the captcha but to submit your captcha you are requested getURL (ie again curl_exec) which means to a new page with a new captcha again.

So you are placing the old captcha and putting it in the new captcha. I'm having the same problem & resolved it.

I agree with @bazmegakapa - But you might want to read up on this cs.sfu.ca/~mori/research/gimpy

i get captcha and display for user input and than login, i do this because i want my client can register domain automaticaly to pandi.or.id and manage they domain from my webpage, because pandi.or.id didn't have API like other domain registrar

[kapa]

Have you contacted PANDI? Should start with that.

[yudo hartono]

i have contact PANDI and they said they did't have API or reseller program so we must manual register domain for our client

[kapa]

@yudo hartono They should give some clue, you shouldn't have to break a bloody captcha to do this :).

[Anggie Aziz]

Cant we grab the picture and let us input the captcha manually?

@kapa i'm pretty sure stackoverflow is about technical solutions, not legal advice. although there is a law.stackexchange.com
