Recaptcha Help

Sirrel Squirrel · 11 May 2011 at 19:24

I've tried to setup Recaptcha on an email form but I can't get it working, my code is below, I think I've followed all of the instructions for the PHP code so I must be missing something glaringly obvious. (I've removed the keys from the code below, although it's not hard to find them

contact.html Form Code

Code:

<form action="contact_verify.php" method="post">
<table width="672" border="0" cellspacing="5" style="background:#fff">
<tr align="left"><td width="113">Name</td><td width="540">
<input type="text" size="30" name="name"></td></tr>
<tr align="left"><td>Email address</td><td>
<input type="text" size="30" name="email"></td></tr>
<tr align="left"><td valign="top">Comments</td><td>
<textarea name="comments" rows="6" cols="30"></textarea></td></tr>
<tr align="left"><td>&nbsp;</td><td>
		<?php
          require_once('recaptchalib.php');
          $publickey = "Key";
          echo recaptcha_get_html($publickey);
		?>
		<tr align="left"><td></td><td>
<input type="submit" value="Send"><font face="calibri, arial" size="1">&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://FormToEmail.com">PHP Form</a> by FormToEmail.com</font></td></tr>
</table>
</form>

contact_verify.php

Code:

<?php
  require_once('recaptchalib.php');
  $privatekey = "Key";
  $resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey,
                                $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"],
                                $_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"],
                                $_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);

  if (!$resp->is_valid) {
    // What happens when the CAPTCHA was entered incorrectly
    die ("The reCAPTCHA wasn't entered correctly. Go back and try it again." .
         "(reCAPTCHA said: " . $resp->error . ")");
  } else {
    // Your code here to handle a successful verification
  }
  ?>

Rest of FormtoEmail code

Your missing a </td></tr> after the require_once, and your running a piece of php in a non-php page for starters!

I thought I could do that?

By default .html extentions don't execute PHP/Server-side code, easiest solution to to rename 'contact.html' to 'contact.php'

Cheers I'll give that a go

That did the trick, I knew it was something simple

I've never really used PHP before, if the user doesn't fill in the RECAPTCHA correctly or leaves the email form blank they get an error message on the contact_verify.php, is there a way of making this a popup dialog that appears on contact.php?
