cURL Recaptcha not working PHP

curl, php

Solution

Because you're attempting to connect via SSL, you need to adjust your cURL options to handle it. A quick fix to get this to work is if you add `curl_setopt($verify, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);`

Setting `CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER` to false will make it so that it accepts any certificate given to it rather than verifying them.

<?php

$data = array(
            'secret' => "my-secret",
            'response' => "my-response"
        );

$verify = curl_init();
curl_setopt($verify, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify");
curl_setopt($verify, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($verify, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($data));
curl_setopt($verify, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($verify, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($verify);

var_dump($response);
