How to Validate Google reCaptcha on Form Submit

Question

Recently  Google completely overhauled their reCaptcha API and simplified it to a single checkbox     The problem is  I can submit a form with the reCaptcha included without checking it and the form will ignore the reCaptcha   Before you had to send the form to a PHP file with the private key et al  but I m not seeing any mention of that in their Developer s Guide  I have no idea how to validate the form to be sure the new reCaptcha was filled by the user   Am I missing something  Is that PHP file with the private key still required   All I have for the reCaptcha so far is    lt div data-type  image  class  g-recaptcha  data-sitekey  My Public Key  gt  lt  div gt

From a UX perspective  it can help to visibly let the user know when they can proceed to submit the form - either by enabling a disabled button  or simply making the button visible   Here s a simple example      lt form gt       lt div class  g-recaptcha  data-sitekey  YOUR PRIVATE KEY  data-callback  recaptchaCallback  gt  lt  div gt       lt button type  submit  class  btn btn-default hidden  id  btnSubmit  gt Submit lt  button gt   lt  form gt    lt script gt      function recaptchaCallback             var btnSubmit   document getElementById  btnSubmit             if   btnSubmit classList contains  hidden                   btnSubmit classList remove  hidden                btnSubmitclassList add  show                     lt  script gt

You can first verify in the frontend side that the checkbox is marked       var recaptchaRes   grecaptcha getResponse        var message            if recaptchaRes length    0               You can return the message to user         message    Please complete the reCAPTCHA challenge            return false        else             Add reCAPTCHA response to the POST        form recaptchaRes   recaptchaRes          And then in the server side verify the received response using Google reCAPTCHA API        receivedRecaptcha     POST  recaptchaRes         verifiedRecaptcha   file get contents  https   www google com recaptcha api siteverify secret    google secret   amp response    receivedRecaptcha         verResponseData   json decode  verifiedRecaptcha        if   verResponseData- gt success                return  reCAPTCHA is not valid  Please try again            For more info you can visit Google docs

You can verify the response in 3 ways as per the Google reCAPTCHA documentation    g-recaptcha-response  Once user checks the checkbox  I am not a robot   a field with id g-recaptcha-response gets populated in your HTML  You can now use the value of this field to know if the user is a bot or not  using the below mentioed lines -  var captchResponse       g-recaptcha-response   val    if captchResponse length    0         user has not yet checked the  I am not a robot  checkbox else        user is a verified human and you are good to submit your form now  Before you are about to submit your form  you can make a call as follows -  var isCaptchaValidated   false  var response   grecaptcha getResponse    if response length    0        isCaptchaValidated   false      toast  Please verify that you are a Human       else       isCaptchaValidated   true      if  isCaptchaValidated           you can now submit your form    You can display your reCAPTCHA as follows -   lt div class  col s12 g-recaptcha  data-sitekey  YOUR PRIVATE KEY  data-callback  doSomething  gt  lt  div gt    And then define the function in your JavaScript   which can also be used to submit your form   function doSomething     alert 1       Now  once the checkbox  I am not a robot  is checked  you will get a callback to the defined callback  which is doSomething in your case

If you want to check if the User clicked on the I m not a robot checkbox  you can use the  getResponse   function provided by the reCaptcha API   It will return an empty string in case the User did not validate himself  something like this   if  grecaptcha getResponse               alert  You can t proceed       else       alert  Thank you        In case the User has validated himself  the response will be a very long string   More about the API can be found on this page  reCaptcha Javascript API
