[PHP] Adding reCAPTCHA to form using PHP
Need help with reCAPTCHA. Never installed it before. When Submit is clicked the quoterequest-redirect.php is run but I think it would be better to test the reCAPTCHA before the quoterequest-redirect.php program has been run. I check the CAPTCHA in quoterequest-redirect.php, it displays a invalid message if invalid but the user has to tab back to fill in the CAPTCHA again. The reCAPTCHA show correctly but I need some help/hints/tips here. Thanks very much again, /Ernie *** form action=quoterequest-redirect.php method=post td ?php // call the lib.. require_once('recaptchalib.php'); // Get a key from http://recaptcha.net/api/getkey $publickey = 6LeGhwwAADNm2bEIkxzNHXIjpAlGYJ5NCYju; $privatekey = 6LeGhwwAAFbi37aANuHliCnZ-_jg3uN8N7oh; # the response from reCAPTCHA $resp = null; # the error code from reCAPTCHA, if any $error = null; # was there a reCAPTCHA response? if ($_POST[submit]) { $response = recaptcha_check_answer($privatekey, $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR], $_POST[recaptcha_challenge_field], $_POST[recaptcha_response_field]); if ($response-is_valid) { echo Yes, that was correct!; } else { # set the error code so that we can display it echo Eh, That wasn't right.

A CAPTCHA is as simple as: What is 2 + 2? What is the color of an orange? Answer correctly and you pass. If not, then you don't. The purpose of a CAPTCHA is simply to keep bots out and allow humans to pass. If you base your CAPTCHA on a strange graphic, then you keep visually impaired users out. That's not good. Here's an assortment of CAPTCHA's, but I think the Question CAPTCHA is the best. http://webbytedd.com/aa/assorted-captcha/ Cheers, tedd -- --- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Adding reCAPTCHA to form using PHP
Thanks for your reply Tedd. Maybe my reCAPTCHA is more complicated than it needs to be but when you click the Submit button the form triggers the action=quoterequest-redirect.php which goes to another program without checking the CAPTCHA. I test in the called program and display a message if it's invalid. The user then clicks back to form page to try again. It would be better on submit the program would display an error message and go nowhere. The code works by itself but in a form with an action, not so good. Not such how to do this form action=quoterequest-redirect.php method=post td ?php // call the lib.. require_once('recaptchalib.php'); // Get a key from http://recaptcha.net/api/getkey $publickey = 6LeGhwwAADNm2bEIkxzNHXIjpAlGYJ5NCYju; $privatekey = 6LeGhwwAAFbi37aANuHliCnZ-_jg3uN8N7oh; # the response from reCAPTCHA $resp = null; # the error code from reCAPTCHA, if any $error = null; # was there a reCAPTCHA response? if ($_POST[submit]) { $response = recaptcha_check_answer($privatekey, $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR], $_POST[recaptcha_challenge_field], $_POST[recaptcha_response_field]); if ($response-is_valid) { echo Yes, that was correct!; } else { # set the error code so that we can display it echo Eh, That wasn't right. Try Again.; } } ? ?php echo recaptcha_get_html($publickey, $error); ? /td input type=submit name=submit id=submit value=Submit / /form -Original Message- From: tedd [mailto:tedd.sperl...@gmail.com] Sent: April-19-10 12:51 PM To: Ernie Kemp; 'PHP General List' Subject: Re: [PHP] Adding reCAPTCHA to form using PHP At 12:21 PM -0400 4/19/10, Ernie Kemp wrote: Need help with reCAPTCHA.

If you care nothing about those types of folks, then proceed (by the Grace of God) along your sighted way.
