Introduction – introduction to the Services_ReCaptcha package

Introduction

Services_ReCaptcha is a PHP5 interface to the two services offered by reCAPTCHA: reCAPTCHA and reCAPTCHA Mailhide.

reCAPTCHA is a freely available CAPTCHA implementation. It distinguishes humans from computers. To use reCAPTCHA, you will need a public/private API key pair, available here: http://recaptcha.net/api/getkey.

reCAPTCHA Mailhide helps you protect your inbox by asking people to solve a reCAPTCHA before they can view your email address. The reCAPTCHA can only be solved by humans, so this stops spammers from gaining access to your email address through automated programs. reCAPTCHA Mailhide also requires a public and a private API key, that can be generated here: http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/apikey.
