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

[](#installation)

### Note: This Script Requires GD extension to be installed

[](#note-this-script-requires-gd-extension-to-be-installed)

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 4.1) in your project's `composer.json`.

```
{
    "require": {
        "laravel/framework": "4.*",
        "johntaa/captcha": "dev-master"
    },
    "minimum-stability": "dev"
}
```

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

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 `app/config/app.php` and register the Captcha Service Provider.

```
    'providers' => array(
        // ...
        'Johntaa\Captcha\CaptchaServiceProvider',
    )
```

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

```
    'aliases' => array(
        // ...
        'Captcha' => 'Johntaa\Captcha\Facades\Captcha',
    )
```

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

[](#configuration)

To use your own settings, publish config.

`$ php artisan config:publish johntaa/captcha`

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

[](#example-usage)

```
    // [your site path]/app/routes.php

    Route::any('/captcha-test', function()
    {

        if (Request::getMethod() == 'POST')
        {
            $rules =  array('captcha' => array('required', 'captcha'));
            $validator = Validator::make(Input::all(), $rules);
            if ($validator->fails())
            {
                echo 'Incorrect!';
            }
            else
            {
                echo 'Matched :)';
            }
        }

        $content = Form::open(array(URL::to(Request::segment(1))));
        $content .= '' . HTML::image(Captcha::img(), 'Captcha image') . '';
        $content .= '' . Form::text('captcha') . '';
        $content .= '' . Form::submit('Check') . '';
