TrustCaptcha for PHP — GDPR-compliant, privacy-first CAPTCHA
============================================================

[](#trustcaptcha-for-php--gdpr-compliant-privacy-first-captcha)

Protect websites and apps against bots and spam with a privacy-first, EU-hosted CAPTCHA solution.

What is TrustCaptcha?
---------------------

[](#what-is-trustcaptcha)

TrustCaptcha combines proof-of-work, an AI bot-score and custom security rules to stop automated bot abuse — without image marking or puzzles

Key perks:

- **Privacy-friendly & GDPR-compliant** – data processed exclusively in Europe
- **No visual challenges** – users never label images or solve quizzes
- **Fully themable widget** – matches any brand and design and improves your user flow
- **Conversion-safe** – near-zero user drop-off compared to legacy CAPTCHAs

Read the full [TrustCaptcha product overview](https://www.trustcomponent.com/en/products/captcha) for technical details and the security concept.

Get started
-----------

[](#get-started)

1. **Create an account:** [sign up / sign in](https://id.trustcomponent.com/en/signup).
2. **Choose a CAPTCHA:** pick an existing one or create a new one.
3. **Embed the widget:** implement the TrustCaptcha widget into your website or app.
4. **Validate result:** validate the CAPTCHA verification result in your backend.

Need a walkthrough? See the [PHP integration guide](https://www.trustcomponent.com/en/products/captcha/integrations/php-captcha).

Basic PHP integration
---------------------

[](#basic-php-integration)

1. Install the dependency

```
composer require trustcomponent/trustcaptcha-php:^3.0
```

2. Retrieve the verification result

```
use TrustComponent\TrustCaptcha\TrustCaptcha;

// Retrieving the verification result
$verificationResult = null;
try {
  $trustCaptcha = new TrustCaptcha("");
  $verificationResult = $trustCaptcha->getVerificationResult("");
} catch (Exception $e) {
  // Fetch verification result failed - handle error
}

```

3. Act on the result

```
// Act on the verification result
if (!$verificationResult->verificationPassed || $verificationResult->score > 0.5) {
    echo "Verification failed or bot score > 0.5 – possible automated request.";
}

```

Congratulations — you have successfully validated the result of the CAPTCHA!
