Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The Captcha Service Provider can be installed via [Composer](http://getcomposer.org) by requiring the `mews/captcha` package and setting the `minimum-stability` to `dev` (required for Laravel 5) in your project's `composer.json`.

```
{
    "require": {
        "laravel/framework": "5.0.*",
        "mews/captcha": "dev-master"
    },
    "minimum-stability": "dev"
}
```

Update your packages with `composer update` or install with `composer install`.

In Windows, you'll need to include the GD2 DLL `php_gd2.dll` as an extension in php.ini.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To use the Captcha Service Provider, you must register the provider when bootstrapping your Laravel application. There are essentially two ways to do this.

Find the `providers` key in `config/app.php` and register the Captcha Service Provider.

```
    'providers' => [
        // ...
        'Mews\Captcha\CaptchaServiceProvider',
    ]
```

Find the `aliases` key in `config/app.php`.

```
    'aliases' => [
        // ...
        'Captcha' => 'Mews\Captcha\Facades\Captcha',
    ]
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

To use your own settings, publish config.

`$ php artisan vendor:publish`

`config/captcha.php`

```
return [
    'default'   => [
        'length'    => 5,
        'width'     => 120,
        'height'    => 36,
        'quality'   => 90,
    ],
    // ...
];
```

Example Usage
-------------

        {
            $rules = ['captcha' => 'required|captcha'];
            $validator = Validator::make(Input::all(), $rules);
            if ($validator->fails())
            {
                echo 'Incorrect!';
            }
            else
