Google reCAPTCHA using PHP and jQuery

Google reCAPTCHA using PHP and jQuery.

A CAPTCHA is a program that protects websites against bots by generating and grading tests that humans can pass but current computer programs cannot.
It is usually a graphic image with a series of distorted letters on an equally distorted or multicolored background.
Google has released the new reCAPTCHA. Using reCAPTCHA users can prove they are human without solving a CAPTCHA.

Steps for google reCAPTCHA implementation.

1. Create a secure key and site key
Register your site at Google from here – https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin
    
2. Html Code

Now first of all include Google reCAPTCHA javascript library.
<script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js" async defer></script>

Now in form body section add reCAPTCHA DIV element

<form action="" method="POST">
    <input type="text" name="name" value="" />
    <input type="text" name="email" value="" />
    <textarea type="text" name="message"></textarea>
    <div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="9LDDpf0eVtMZY6kdJnGhsYYY-5ksd-W"></div>
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="SUBMIT">
</form

Now replace data-sitekey attribute value to your sitekey.

Now for server side validation. I have used PHP script.

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']) && !empty($_POST['submit'])){
    if(isset($_POST['g-recaptcha-response']) && !empty($_POST['g-recaptcha-response'])){
        //your site secret key
        $secret = '6LfOtiDDDDDDDOv5_4vb4tocXZXASDFDW';
        //get verify response data
        $verifyResponse = file_get_contents('https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify?secret='.$secret.'&response='.$_POST['g-recaptcha-response']);
        $responseData = json_decode($verifyResponse);
        if($responseData->success){
            // After success statement
            $succMsg = 'Your contact request have submitted successfully.';
        }else{
            $errMsg = 'Robot verification failed, please try again.';
        }
    }else{
        $errMsg = 'Please click on the reCAPTCHA box.';
    }    
}
    
Now How to Validate using jQuery Validatation method

1. Replace Form reCAPTCHA element with 

<input type="hidden" class="hiddenRecaptcha required" name="hiddenRecaptcha" id="hiddenRecaptcha">
<div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="{YOUR-SITE-KEY-HERE}"></div>

2. Now add validation Rule

$("#regisForm").validate({
   ignore: ".ignore",
   rules: {
       "hiddenRecaptcha": {
           required: function() {
               if(grecaptcha.getResponse() == '') {
                   return true;
               } else {
                   return false;
               }
           }
       }
   }
});

Advantages of CAPTCHA
  • Preventing Comment Spam in Blogs.
  • Protecting Website Registration.
  • Protecting Email Addresses From Scrapers.
  • Online Polls.
  • Preventing Dictionary Attacks.
  • Search Engine Bots.
  • Worms and Spam.

A Guide to UTF-8 for PHP and MySQL

Data Encoding: A Guide to UTF-8 for PHP and MySQL As a MySQL or PHP developer, once you step beyond the comfortable confines of English-only character sets, you quickly find yourself entangled in the wonderfully wacky world of UTF-8. On a previous job, we began running into data encoding issues when displaying bios of artists from all over the world. It soon became apparent that there were problems with the stored data, as sometimes the data was correctly encoded and sometimes it was not. This led programmers to implement a hodge-podge of patches, sometimes with JavaScript, sometimes with HTML charset meta tags, sometimes with PHP, and soon. Soon, we ended up with a list of 600,000 artist bios with double- or triple encoded information, with data being stored in different ways depending on who programmed the feature or implemented the patch. A classical technical rat’s nest.Indeed, navigating through UTF-8 related data encoding issues can be a frustrating and hair-pul...

How To Create Shortcodes In WordPress

We can create own shortcode by using its predified hooks add_shortcode( 'hello-world', 'techsudhir_hello_world_shortcode' ); 1.
