Thanks a lot for this information. I've been trying to create my blog recently and faced some difficulties. I found some books and articles on the topic at the search engine http://rapid4me.com . My friends' advice was of great help as well. But here you paid attention to very important details. And you wrote it in a simple way. Much appreciated. Thank you.

I am actually trying to use an INI config not XML.

user.signup.elements.captchaImage.type = "captcha"
user.signup.elements.captchaImage.label = "Are you human?"
user.signup.elements.captchaImage.options.captcha = "Figlet"

As of 1.6 first stable release, the above works, but below does not
user.signup.elements.captchaImage.options.wordlen = "6"
user.signup.elements.captchaImage.options.timeout = "300"

Thanks for the slides, saw them last week and they were a great jumpstart; found this post today while trying to solve a Zend captcha validation problem. While you're post helped confirm my config/captcha code, it also lead me to why my validation was failing. It was totally my fault, but wanted to share my issue with others.

Everytime I called form->isValid($request), I'd fail with empty value for the captcha. Well, when using the Zend default render, the Captcha_Image element inputs have different attributes for 'id' and 'name'. ex: &ltinput type="hidden" name="captcha[id]" value="a1714929730288e265d3718a926d131f" helper="formText" id="captcha-id"&gt
&ltinput type="text" name="captcha[input]" id="captcha-input" value="" helper="formText"&gt

On my form, data is sent via javascript function, which took for granted that Zend renders most form elements with identical id/name attributes. Silly me. This is a case where the 'id' and 'name' attributes are different. So, if you are using some ajaxian submit, make sure you're using the 'name' attribute!
