Hi, I'm trying to implement a reCAPTCHA to a register user page in
PHP, but I continue to get a warning, and my users don't get
registered in the database. Before trying to add reCAPTCHA the
registration worked as it should.
Warning 1: Undefined index: recaptcha_challenge_field (line that gives
this warning is $_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"],)
Warning 2: Undefined index: recaptcha_response_field (line that gives
this warning is $_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);)
The error message that get's displayed is: incorrect-captcha-sol
It doesn't matter what I try, I've googled the problems described
above and tried for several hours now to solve it, none of the
suggested solutions I've found worked, and I need some help with
this...
------------------ My Code ---------------------
<?php
// reCAPTCHA stuff
require_once('recaptchalib.php');
$publickey = "...";
$privatekey = "...";
// Tripplechecked that the keys are correct!
$resp = null;
$error = null;
// end reCAPTCHA stuff
if($_POST)
{
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
$confirm = $_POST['confirm'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
// Some checks to see if data was entered in the form
if($username == "")
{
// Logic for checking data
}
else
{
// Connect to database and check for already existing user names /
e-mails
// If none found, proceed with the below code
// reCAPTCHA stuff
$resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey,
$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"],
$_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"],
$_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);
if(!$resp->is_valid)
{
echo $resp->error;
}// end reCAPTCHA stuff
else
{
// Register new user in database
}
}

Those warnings are "notices". You can make them go away, and fix your
problem, by putting this line of code at the top of your script (just
under <?php):
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
It supresses the notices.

Well yeah, I've seen that and it does, but it doesn't solve the
problem I have that with the recaptcha set up, I can't get users
registered, but it worked before I tried to implement recaptcha (and
still does if I comment recaptcha out from the code). So, it isn't the
notices that's the problem here.
What about the error message? "incorrect-captcha-sol"

First of all, you might want to correct your html
<table><form></table></form> to something like: <table><form></form></
table>
This might sound ridiculous, but I've been trying to get it working
yesterday too, and I had many troubles (because I wanted to combine it
with drupal & jQuery etcetera) so I read quite some problems yesterday
and one was from a man having a similar problem and he solved it by
changing the table/form order, I can't remember 100% which of the two
it was exactly, but try both:
1) form inside table: <table><form></form></table>
2) table inside form: <form><table></table></form>
one of the two options worked and the other didn't, maybe this helps
you too, can't find the link anymore though
if it works, let it know
<table><form></table></form> to something like: <table><form></form></
table>

Yeah, I remember reading that myself and tried both combinations.
Tried again too after your post, but still got the same problem.
Edit: Not sure if this actually was the problem or not. It somehow
works now though, so probably (even though I'm pretty sure I tried
this with negative results earlier).

Exactly the same problem as Maruz. Spend a few hours trying to find the problem
and it was solved your way Clookster. Thank you for sharing.
Ridiculously simple but no way to think of it. Thanks a lot!!!

always test your variables prior checking its value to avoid such notice and get a clean code, try something like this concept:
if ($myVariable)
{
// $myVariable is set and you can use it //
if ($myVariable == ............... bla bla
}
else
{
// $myVariable is not set then you ignore the proccess and avoid the notice //
}
if ($myVariable)
{
// $myVariable is set and you can use it //
if ($myVariable == ............... bla bla
}
else
{
// $myVariable is not set then you ignore the proccess and avoid the notice //
}

Clookster's solution worked for me me. When using tables with forms, use <form><table>...reCAPTCHA stuff....</table></form>

Also just confirming that putting the <form> tags outside of the <table> tags solved the problem for me also.
