VividCortex reCaptcha Validator
===============================

Deprecation notice
------------------

[](#deprecation-notice)

This package has been deprecated in favor of [Google's own recaptcha validator](https://github.com/google/recaptcha).

---

A simple validator for [Google's reCaptcha](https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/) responses written in PHP.

[![Build status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/1421e41885241c903eb8bdc457e961bca685ae3db4ab317d1b45499e801c61cf/68747470733a2f2f636972636c6563692e636f6d2f67682f5669766964436f727465782f7068702d7265636170746368612d76616c696461746f722e706e67)](https://circleci.com/gh/VividCortex/php-recaptcha-validator)

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

[](#installation)

Add your project requirement using composer.

```
composer require vividcortex/recaptcha-validator

```

How it works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

First, you need to instantiate a new *validator* with your [secret key](http://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin) provided by Google.

```
use VividCortex\RecaptchaValidator\Validator;

// ...

$validator = new Validator($secret);
```

Then, you can move on to validating responses. The response and the client's IP are required.

```
// Returns TRUE or FALSE
$result = $validator->validate($response, $clientIp);
```
