I've just set up the new google recaptcha with checkbox, it's working fine on front end, however I don't know how to handle it on server side using PHP. I've tried to use the old code below but the form is sent even if the captcha is not valid.
require_once('recaptchalib.php'); $privatekey = "my key"; $resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey, $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"], $_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"], $_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]); if (!$resp->is_valid) { $errCapt='<p style="color:#D6012C ">The CAPTCHA Code wasnot entered correctly.</p>';}
The initial state, reCAPTCHA verification is required to proceed on this website. Click the checkbox to get a verification challenge. The checkbox has been clicked and a challenge is loading. You are instantly verified if the status changes to “You are verified”.
Google does not provide methods to verify site key, neither you can hack/access reCaptcha html code by JS since the reCapthca is in an iframe and frame's code is not programmatically accessible client-side. Its a common mistake to forget to update the allowable domains in the dashboard when pushing a new site live.
While the answers here are definately working, they are using a GET
request, which exposes your private key (even though https
is used). On Google Developers the specified method is POST
.
For a little bit more detail: https://stackoverflow.com/a/323286/1680919
function isValid() { try { $url = 'https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify'; $data = ['secret' => '[YOUR SECRET KEY]', 'response' => $_POST['g-recaptcha-response'], 'remoteip' => $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']]; $options = [ 'http' => [ 'header' => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n", 'method' => 'POST', 'content' => http_build_query($data) ] ]; $context = stream_context_create($options); $result = file_get_contents($url, false, $context); return json_decode($result)->success; } catch (Exception $e) { return null; } }
Array Syntax: I use the "new" array syntax ( [
and ]
instead of array(..)
). If your php version does not support this yet, you will have to edit those 3 array definitions accordingly (see comment).
Return Values: This function returns true
if the user is valid, false
if not, and null
if an error occured. You can use it for example simply by writing if (isValid()) { ... }
this is solution
