There are 2 parts to using reCAPTCHA. The first part is adding the reCAPTCHA field to your form, which it looks like you've done. The second part is checking the answer that people submit against the image.
That portion needs to be added to your code that you execute to handle the form submission (during your validation, prior to inserting it in to the database. The reCAPTCHA site has some pretty useful documentation about both steps and some sample code you can start with (see the "Server Side" section for the part you are missing).
if (!$resp->is_valid) { // What happens when the CAPTCHA was entered incorrectly die ("The reCAPTCHA wasn't entered correctly. Go back and try it again." . "(reCAPTCHA said: " . $resp->error . ")"); } else { // Your code here to handle a successful verification }
// Validate POTS vars if (!exc_not_null($title)) { $error = true; $title_error = true; } if (!exc_not_null($author_name)) { $error = true; $author_name_error = true; } if (!exc_not_null($author_phone)) { $error = true; $author_phone_error = true; } if (!exc_not_null($text)) { $error = true; $text_error = true; }
//$db = new Database($theDB); $db->query($query); $db->close();
// Email council to approve $email_message = "A new community news item has been added and requires approval.\n"; $headers = 'From: info@feockpc.com' . "\r\n". 'Bcc: jodie@cnx-solutions.com' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: info@feockpc.com' . "\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion(); mail('alan@feockpc.com', 'New Community Content', $email_message, $headers);
