PHP Captcha library
Quick Overview
No-Captcha is a PHP package that provides a simple way to integrate Google reCAPTCHA v2 and v3 into Laravel applications. It offers an easy-to-use interface for implementing CAPTCHA protection on forms and other user interactions, helping to prevent spam and automated attacks.
Pros
- Easy integration with Laravel applications
- Supports both reCAPTCHA v2 and v3
- Provides helper functions and Blade directives for convenient usage
- Customizable options for appearance and behavior
Cons
- Limited to Google reCAPTCHA (doesn't support other CAPTCHA providers)
- Requires a Google reCAPTCHA API key
- May impact user experience if not implemented carefully
- Dependent on Google's services and potential downtime
Code Examples
- Rendering reCAPTCHA v2:
{!! NoCaptcha::renderJs() !!}
{!! NoCaptcha::display() !!}
- Validating reCAPTCHA in a form request:
use Anhskohbo\NoCaptcha\Rules\CaptchaRule;
public function rules()
{
return [
'g-recaptcha-response' => ['required', new CaptchaRule],
];
}
- Using reCAPTCHA v3:
{!! NoCaptcha::renderJs() !!}
{!! NoCaptcha::display(['action' => 'homepage']) !!}
Getting Started
-
Install the package via Composer:
composer require anhskohbo/no-captcha
-
Add the service provider to
config/app.php
:'providers' => [ // ... Anhskohbo\NoCaptcha\NoCaptchaServiceProvider::class, ],
-
Publish the configuration file:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Anhskohbo\NoCaptcha\NoCaptchaServiceProvider"
-
Set your reCAPTCHA credentials in
.env
:NOCAPTCHA_SECRET=your-secret-key NOCAPTCHA_SITEKEY=your-site-key
-
Use the package in your views and controllers as shown in the code examples above.
Competitor Comparisons
PHP Captcha library
Pros of Gregwar/Captcha
- Offers more customization options for CAPTCHA generation
- Provides built-in image manipulation features
- Supports multiple output formats (PNG, JPEG, GIF)
Cons of Gregwar/Captcha
- Requires server-side processing and storage
- May be less accessible for users with visual impairments
- Potentially more complex to implement and maintain
Code Comparison
Gregwar/Captcha:
use Gregwar\Captcha\CaptchaBuilder;
$builder = new CaptchaBuilder;
$builder->build();
$builder->output();
no-captcha:
use Anhskohbo\NoCaptcha\NoCaptcha;
$secret = 'your-secret-key';
$sitekey = 'your-site-key';
$captcha = new NoCaptcha($secret, $sitekey);
echo $captcha->display();
Summary
Gregwar/Captcha is a traditional image-based CAPTCHA solution offering extensive customization options and image manipulation features. It requires server-side processing and may present accessibility challenges. no-captcha, on the other hand, is a wrapper for Google's reCAPTCHA, which is generally more user-friendly and accessible but relies on an external service. The choice between the two depends on specific project requirements, such as customization needs, accessibility concerns, and integration preferences.

No CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA
For Laravel 4 use v1 branch.
Installation
composer require anhskohbo/no-captcha
Laravel 5 and above
Setup
NOTE This package supports the auto-discovery feature of Laravel 5.5 and above, So skip these Setup
instructions if you're using Laravel 5.5 and above.
In app/config/app.php
add the following :
1- The ServiceProvider to the providers array :
Anhskohbo\NoCaptcha\NoCaptchaServiceProvider::class,
2- The class alias to the aliases array :
'NoCaptcha' => Anhskohbo\NoCaptcha\Facades\NoCaptcha::class,
3- Publish the config file
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Anhskohbo\NoCaptcha\NoCaptchaServiceProvider"
Configuration
Add NOCAPTCHA_SECRET
and NOCAPTCHA_SITEKEY
in .env file :
NOCAPTCHA_SECRET=secret-key
NOCAPTCHA_SITEKEY=site-key
(You can obtain them from here)
Usage
Init js source
With default options :
{!! NoCaptcha::renderJs() !!}
With language support or onloadCallback option :
{!! NoCaptcha::renderJs('fr', true, 'recaptchaCallback') !!}
Display reCAPTCHA
Default widget :
{!! NoCaptcha::display() !!}
With custom attributes (theme, size, callback ...) :
{!! NoCaptcha::display(['data-theme' => 'dark']) !!}
Invisible reCAPTCHA using a submit button:
{!! NoCaptcha::displaySubmit('my-form-id', 'submit now!', ['data-theme' => 'dark']) !!}
Notice that the id of the form is required in this method to let the autogenerated callback submit the form on a successful captcha verification.
Validation
Add 'g-recaptcha-response' => 'required|captcha'
to rules array :
$validate = Validator::make(Input::all(), [
'g-recaptcha-response' => 'required|captcha'
]);
Custom Validation Message
Add the following values to the custom
array in the validation
language file :
'custom' => [
'g-recaptcha-response' => [
'required' => 'Please verify that you are not a robot.',
'captcha' => 'Captcha error! try again later or contact site admin.',
],
],
Then check for captcha errors in the Form
:
@if ($errors->has('g-recaptcha-response'))
<span class="help-block">
<strong>{{ $errors->first('g-recaptcha-response') }}</strong>
</span>
@endif
Testing
When using the Laravel Testing functionality, you will need to mock out the response for the captcha form element.
So for any form tests involving the captcha, you can do this by mocking the facade behavior:
// prevent validation error on captcha
NoCaptcha::shouldReceive('verifyResponse')
->once()
->andReturn(true);
// provide hidden input for your 'required' validation
NoCaptcha::shouldReceive('display')
->zeroOrMoreTimes()
->andReturn('<input type="hidden" name="g-recaptcha-response" value="1" />');
You can then test the remainder of your form as normal.
When using HTTP tests you can add the g-recaptcha-response
to the request body for the 'required' validation:
// prevent validation error on captcha
NoCaptcha::shouldReceive('verifyResponse')
->once()
->andReturn(true);
// POST request, with request body including g-recaptcha-response
$response = $this->json('POST', '/register', [
'g-recaptcha-response' => '1',
'name' => 'John',
'email' => 'john@example.com',
'password' => '123456',
'password_confirmation' => '123456',
]);
Without Laravel
Checkout example below:
<?php
require_once "vendor/autoload.php";
$secret = 'CAPTCHA-SECRET';
$sitekey = 'CAPTCHA-SITEKEY';
$captcha = new \Anhskohbo\NoCaptcha\NoCaptcha($secret, $sitekey);
if (! empty($_POST)) {
var_dump($captcha->verifyResponse($_POST['g-recaptcha-response']));
exit();
}
?>
<form action="?" method="POST">
<?php echo $captcha->display(); ?>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
<?php echo $captcha->renderJs(); ?>
