Install reCaptcha using PHP on a .tpl page

[wilcosky]

I have a site that uses .tpl files. I would like to add the reCaptcha system to a form on one of the pages using php. From what I hear you can't just put php script into a .tpl file. I read that you can call php using tags like {}?

Can I add something to my .htaccess file that will allow php code to run from the .tpl file? I'm thinking that won't work, because the page does have a .php extension, but it's just calling the .tpl files.

Maybe this would be easier for me... Does anyone know of any captcha systems that I can install using all html and no php?

Sorry, my solution was to use a jquery ajax script along with some php. But, I couldn't use php in the .tpl file, so to show the reCAPTCHA I used the ajax and to validate the reCAPTCHA I used a separate .php file. Now, if a spammer turns javascript off, the reCAPTCHA won't show unfortunately BUT, they also won't be able to submit the form because the separate php file looks for the reCAPTCHA and if it's incorrect or if it doesn't detect a reCAPTCHA code, then the form won't submit. So it's still secure even though javascript is evolved.

I found the step by step instructions here:

If the smarty configuration allows it you can use

{php}
//Normal PHP worjs here
{/php}

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try that in the future. Honestly, I'm not going to try it for this since I got it working using another method.

Also, to correct myself above, the recaptcha will show if javascript is on or off. If javascript is on, it shows the recaptcha using recaptcha.net's javascript code. If javascript is turned off, then the recaptcha shows through an iframe.

So, that's how I was able to show the recaptcha without using PHP. To validate the recaptcha, I still used PHP.
