Recaptcha: Error on file_get_contents()

Created on 31 Mar 2015 · 5Comments · Source: google/recaptcha

I get errors, when I upload the code on web server, with the php variable allow_url_fopen that is set 0 for prevent ddos attacks, I've tried using cURL instead of file_get_contents but my codes doesn't works, so I'm asking for help with that and I think that this problem occurred with other people.
Sorry for my bad english.

The alternative ReCaptcha\RequestMethod\SocketPost method should work for you here. You can use this by replacing this line:

$recaptcha = new \ReCaptcha\ReCaptcha($secret);

with this line:

$recaptcha = new \ReCaptcha\ReCaptcha($secret, new \ReCaptcha\RequestMethod\SocketPost());

Can you put these detail into documentation, please? Not sooo "hidden" here in the queue...

  // Try to workaround locked down web servers.
  if (!ini_get('allow_url_fopen')) {
    // allow_url_fopen = Off
    $recaptcha = new \ReCaptcha\ReCaptcha($recaptcha_secret_key, new \ReCaptcha\RequestMethod\SocketPost());
  }
  else {
    // allow_url_fopen = On
    $recaptcha = new \ReCaptcha\ReCaptcha($recaptcha_secret_key);
  }
