I am trying to install the Google reCaptcha for a Contact page and I have really limited knowledge with php. I'm unsure as to where the information Google requires should go in my php file. Here are Google's instructions for that:
When your users submit the form where you integrated reCAPTCHA, you'll get as part of the payload a string with the name "g-recaptcha-response". In order to check whether Google has verified that user, send a POST request with these parameters:
URL: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify
secret (required) - xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
response (required) - The value of 'g-recaptcha-response'.
remoteip - The end user's ip address.
And here is my php for the form I use.
<?php
$secret = 'SECRET KEY HERE';
$verificationResponse = $_POST["g-recaptcha-response"];
$response = file_get_contents("https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify?secret=".$secret."&response=".$verificationResponse);
$response = json_decode($response, true);
if($response["success"] === true){
// actions if successful
}else{
// actions if failed
}
/* Set e-mail recipient */
$myemail = "[email protected]";
/* Check all form inputs using check_input function */
$name = check_input($_POST['inputName'], "First and Last");
$email = check_input($_POST['inputEmail'], "Required");
$phone = check_input($_POST['inputPhone']);
$message = check_input($_POST['inputMessage'], "Brief Description");
/* If e-mail is not valid show error message */
if (!preg_match("/([\w\-]+\@[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/", $email))
{
show_error("Invalid e-mail address");
}
/* Let's prepare the message for the e-mail */
$subject = "Contact Message from thewiseinvestor.net";
$message = "
Someone has sent you a message using your contact form:
Name: $name
Email: $email
Phone: $phone
Message:
$message
";
/* Send the message using mail() function */
mail($myemail, $subject, $message);
/* Redirect visitor to the thank you page */
header('Location:contact.html');
exit();
/* Functions we used */
function check_input($data, $problem='')
{
$data = trim($data);
$data = stripslashes($data);
$data = htmlspecialchars($data);
if ($problem && strlen($data) == 0)
{
show_error($problem);
}
return $data;
}
function show_error($myError)
{
?>
<html>
<body>
<p>Please correct the following error:</p>
<strong><?php echo $myError; ?></strong>
<p>Hit the back button and try again</p>
</body>
</html>
<?php
exit();
}
?>

I'm really unsure as to where the above information should go. Any assistance is much appreciated.
