DESCRIPTION:

    What is Securimage?

    Securimage is a PHP class that is used to generate and validate CAPTCHA
    images.
    
    The classes uses an existing PHP session or creates its own if
    none is found to store the CAPTCHA code.  In addition, a database can be
    used instead of session storage.
    
    Variables within the class are used to control the style and display of
    the image.  The class uses TTF fonts and effects for strengthening the
    security of the image.
    
    It also creates audible codes which are played for visually impared users.
