Problem
I've just set up the new google recaptcha with checkbox, it's working fine on front end, however I don't know how to handle it on server side using PHP. I've tried to use the old code below but the form is sent even if the captcha is not valid. ``` require_once('recaptchalib.php'); $privatekey = "my key"; $resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey, $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"], $_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"], $_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]); if (!$resp->is_valid) { $errCapt='<p style="color:#D6012C ">The CAPTCHA Code wasnot entered correctly.</p>';} ```
