I removed the echo from the captcha widget, it worked but

now, there’s a new problem the jumbled words of captcha itself doesn’t show up

my gd2 extension is loaded

3

Check that the FreeType extension in GD is enabled… it’s used to display that word…

4

the GD is enabled, the captcha of the yii’s default contact page and user module registration form does work…

but in my own code it doesn’t show the captcha image :(

5

problem solved,

I missed this part at my controller …arghh




	public function actions()

	{

		return array(

			'captcha'=>array(

				'backColor'=>0xFFFFFF,

				'class' => 'CCaptchaAction'

			)			

		);

	}
