Better than the current CI documentation on reCaptcha, I think! Thanks for taking the time to explain it. Nice article – clear and easy to follow!

I am assuming that the captcha api public and private codes are being found by the captcha script, or else i would get an error message. i am not sure where i am going wrong. Any suggestions?

If so, that function needs to live in the controller you're using it with. It's being accessed by CI's validation library via a callback and to my knowledge you can't put validation functions elsewhere if your using callbacks (unless your using CI 1.7). The most efficient way I have found to validate the recaptcha control is the way I have shown above, by calling the custom validation function using CI's validation library using a callback. That allows you to use CI's built in validation functionality as opposed to writing something yourself (which would result in more code).

Within the captcha helper file? Also, what is the most efficient way to call it from within the controller during form validation? Beyond that, I had no issues using the tutorial you wrote to implement the ReCaptcha. I would note however that the helper file needs to be renamed to something like recaptcha_helper.php, as CI looks for helper files to have the _helper at the end of helper file names. Thanks...
