The code itself is okey to add a easy to automatically read text and 
generate a new image, the issue may be with the 
imagens/imagemcaptcha.png which has to be in a sub directory to the
captcha.php

I do recommend you use a professional solution for captcha, take a look 
at this one:

http://www.google.com/recaptcha

You have a typo in your html:

<img scr='captcha.php' alt="imagem ausente"/>
      ^^^

Should be "src"

A good way to determine whether the problem is in your html or the 
captcha code is to try to load the image in your browser, i.e.,

http://www.example.com/captcha.php

If the image displays, the problem is *probably* in your html (there's 
always that bug... :) ).  If the image doesn't show, you *probably* have 
a problem in your captcha php file.

hi again?!
my mistake... i have an other error when i test others issues...
i correct the img tag attribute end it's working :) 
<img src='captcha.php'alt="imagem ausente"/>

the session is needing to make this verification: // verifica se o código captcha está correto
	if($_SESSION['codigo'] == $_POST['codigo'])

finally solved :)
thanks

The simplest php script to send a picture is this
<? php5
header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
$fh = fopen("myfile.jpg", "r");
fpassthru($fh);
flose($fh)';

// and leave the ?> OUT of things.
// and sessions.

Which has nothing to do with his problem (or a solution to it).

And in your example, the simplest way to do it is to not use PHP at all.

Why is starting a session a bad move?

I could be wrong in that.

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to 
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the 
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are 
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a 
diminishing number of producers.

According to RFC 2109 section 4.2.1 a session (not to be confused with a
PHP session) is initiated by sending an extra request header
(Set-Cookie) in the response.  And even a strict file download consists
of a HTTP request and an according response.  So no problem here. :)

Every browser is free to ignore the Set-Cookie header anyway.  However,
I expect browsers to handle this the same independent of the Content-Type.
