Javascript: Integrating Google reCAPTCHA

Integrate Google reCAPTCHA into PHP forms for enhanced security. This guide covers setup, verification, and handling errors to prevent spam and automated submissions.

This PHP snippet demonstrates how to integrate Google reCAPTCHA to enhance the security of web forms. It prevents automated submissions by requiring users to complete a CAPTCHA challenge.

The code includes setting up the front-end with the reCAPTCHA widget and verifying the user's response on the server side. This ensures that only legitimate users can submit the form.

Error handling is incorporated to manage verification failures, providing users with clear feedback if the CAPTCHA is not completed correctly or if the verification fails.

The snippet can be easily integrated into any form on a web application, making it a versatile tool for enhancing security across different types of forms.

Using reCAPTCHA is essential for preventing spam and abuse on websites, ensuring that interactions are performed by real users.
