Every time that you post a problem, PLEASE add the Joomla and the extension's versions and revisions (for example: Joomla 3.3.6, Contact Enhanced 3.3.5), PHP version and Server's Operating System. If you only manage only one site it is easier if you edit your profile and just add that information to your signature. Don't forget to add a detailed description of the problem. If possible, write down all steps to simulate the problem.

Before submitting a new post, PLEASE make sure you are running the latest version, test in different browsers (IE, FF, Chrome,..) and clear Joomla and browser's cache after every change you make.

Also, most questions are already answered in our FAQ and in iFAQ and Contact Enhanced documentation pages.

Dear Outbreaker,

Thank you for contacting us today.

A PHP warning is not an error, but a message that indicates something might be wrong or unexpected in the code. It does not stop the execution of your script, but it may affect the output or the performance of your application. You can choose to ignore, hide, or fix the warnings depending on the situation.

The open_basedir restriction is a security feature of PHP that limits the access of PHP scripts to specific directories. It prevents malicious scripts from accessing sensitive files or folders outside of the allowed paths. You can set the open_basedir value in your php.ini file.

The warning you are getting means that the Captcha plugin is trying to check if the lame library is executable, but the lame library is not within the allowed paths of the open_basedir restriction. The lame library is used to generate audio files for the Captcha.

To solve this warning without changing the open_basedir restriction, you can try to disable the audio options in the SecurImage Captcha plugin. You can do this by going to the plugin settings and unchecking the Audio options. This will prevent the plugin from trying to access the lame library and generate the warning. Alternatively, you can also add the lame library path to the open_basedir value in your php.ini file or in your web server configuration file, but this may require more permissions and testing.

I hope this helps you understand and resolve the issue. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask. ?

Best regards,
Douglas Machado

What about adding an option to enable the Audio over HTML5 or HTML5&LAMA?

LAME is still required to generate the audio file on the server side. Each captcha code generates a new/different audio file which is created on the fly.

After installing the latest version 5.0 I still get this entries in the error log:

Version 5.0 (November 10, 2023)
+ Added option to allow you to specify the file path to the LAME library binary on your server. This setting enables the plugin to convert CAPTCHA audio files into MP3 format, ensuring that they are served as recognizable and playable audio files to users. Leaving blank will serve WAV files only;
