Hi

I am trying to add a reCAPTCHA to my site, but keep getting incorrect-captcha-sol error when I submit the answer.

Can anyone tell me if I am correct in doing the following?

I have a generic index.php, which includes contact.php. In contact.php I have inserted the following code:

require_once('recaptchalib.php');
$publickey = "XXXX";
$privatekey = "XXXX";

//the response from reCAPTCHA
$resp = null;
//the error code from reCAPTCHA, if any
$error = null;

if ($_POST['submit']) {
    $message = $_POST['message_txt'];
    $name = $_POST['name_txt'];
    $email = $_POST['email_txt'];

$emailBody = $message;
$to = 'xx';
$from = $name.' <'.$email.'>';
$subject = 'XX Website Enquiry';
$headers = 'From: '.$from;	

$resp = recaptcha_check_answer($privatekey, $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"], $_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"], $_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);

if ($resp->is_valid) {
	echo 'captcha correct';
	if (mail($to,$subject,$emailBody,$headers)) {
		//echo 'mail sent';
		$confirmation = 'sent';
	}
	else {
		//echo 'mail not sent';
		$confirmation = 'error';
	}
} else {
	# set the error code so that we can display it. You could also use
	# die ("reCAPTCHA failed"), but using the error message is
	# more user friendly

	$error = $resp->error;

	echo $error;
}

}

In my html I inserted the CAPTCHA like this:

<form name="contactForm" method="post" action="index.php?id=contact&action=submit#contact">
    <tr><td>Name</td><td><div align="right">
      <input type="text" name="name_txt" class="input">
      </div></td></tr>
    <tr><td>Email</td><td><div align="right">
      <input type="text" name="email_txt" class="input">
    </div></td></tr>
    <tr><td height="10"></td></tr>
    <tr><td colspan="2">Message</td></tr>
    <tr><td colspan="2"><textarea name="message_txt" class="textarea" style="width:200px; height:100px"></textarea></td></tr>
    <tr><td colspan="2"><?php echo recaptcha_get_html($publickey, $error); ?></td></tr>
    <tr><td colspan="2" style="padding-top:10px;"><input type="image" src="images/header_06.gif" name="submit" value="submit"></td></tr>
    </form>

I cannot see that I am doing anything wrong, but would appreciate any constructive criticism.

TIA
