reCAPTCHA Library
-----------------

[](#recaptcha-library)

This is a package to implement reCAPTCHA ()

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

[](#installation)

Require this package with composer:

```
composer require fruitcakestudio/recaptcha

```

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

[](#configuration)

You can create a new instance by passing the SiteKey and Secret from your API. You can get that at

```
use FruitcakeStudio\ReCaptcha\ReCaptcha;

$captcha = new ReCaptcha($siteKey, $secret, 'en');
```

Widget usage
------------

[](#widget-usage)

To show the reCAPTCHA on a form, use the class to render the script tag and the widget.

```

```

See  for more options.

Verifying a response
--------------------

[](#verifying-a-response)

After the post, use the class to verify the response. You get true or false back. You can access the error codes with $captcha->getErrors() as array, or get a readable message:

```
if ($captcha->verify($_POST["g-recaptcha-response"], $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"])) {
    echo "OK!";
} else {
    echo "FAILED! " . $captcha->getErrorMessage();
}
```

> Note: An error message is not always present.

You can also let the class discover the POST response and remote IP by using verifyGlobals();

```
if ($captcha->verifyGlobals()) {
    echo "OK!";
}
```

If you are using Symfony HttpFoundation, you can use the Request object instead of the globals.

```
if ($captcha->verifyRequest($request)) {
    echo "OK!";
}

// Or by setting the request before
$captcha->setRequest($request);
if ($captcha->verifyRequest()) {
    echo "OK!";
}
```

See the docs on

Laravel integration
-------------------

[](#laravel-integration)

Since 0.3.x, Laravel integration is supported with a standalone package:

The classes are the same, only the configuration package name is 'laravel-recaptcha' instead of 'recaptcha'.
