reCAPTCHA just setup, need help.

SO I processed a form without the captcha checked and it worked, it told me to fill out the captcha. SO when I did fill out the captcha I got this error message but everything still went through just fine:

Warning: file_get_contents(): https:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_fopen=0 in submit.php on line 20

Here is line 20:

MYSECRETKEY has been replaced, I just have hid it for the purpose of posting here.

The first warning is where your error lies. In your server's configuration, you cannot open external webpages as a file pointer. It works because you are still posting back to google that the recaptcha has been verified. You could ignore the warning, or you could find a way connect to a url without trying to read its contents.
