[Dieter Munnik]

Hi,

I'm using a php form. 

I want to validate my form fields values using javascript and at the same time validate recaptcha repsonse ?

How can this be done ?

You shouldn't validate reCAPTCHA on the client side. You need to check that reCAPTCHA was accepted from server code. The reason for this is that you have no control over the scripting that the user actually runs. The user can do anything to send the data your server is expecting without running any of the client side code you sent out for them to run.

Googling for reCAPTCHA validation PHP turned up this fairly short example:
