Class yii\captcha\CaptchaValidator

Inheritanceyii\captcha\CaptchaValidator » yii\validators\Validator » yii\base\Component » yii\base\BaseObject
Implementsyii\base\Configurable
Available since version2.0
Source Code https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/blob/master/framework/captcha/CaptchaValidator.php

CaptchaValidator validates that the attribute value is the same as the verification code displayed in the CAPTCHA.

CaptchaValidator should be used together with yii\captcha\CaptchaAction.

Note that once CAPTCHA validation succeeds, a new CAPTCHA will be generated automatically. As a result, CAPTCHA validation should not be used in AJAX validation mode because it may fail the validation even if a user enters the same code as shown in the CAPTCHA image which is actually different from the latest CAPTCHA code.
