   Hi,

   if I understood well, the only way is to register at recaptcha (what I did) an I got
   a private and a public key...now, what are the next steps to do?

   Hi,

   You have to set those keys on "config.php" file, open the file and search for this code :

   /** CAPTCHA settings **/
   /** To use reCAPTCHA you must get an API key from http://recaptcha.net/api/getkey **/
   define('RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY','');
   define('RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY','');

   Fill the keys to those setting, for example

   define('RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY','abcde');

   after that simply checked "Turn On Spam Protection (CAPTCHA) (?)" from machform admin form properties

   Another alternative, if you don't like the hassle to get reCaptcha keys, is to use the internal CAPTCHA.

   To use it, edit your config.php file, search for this line:

   define('USE_INTERNAL_CAPTCHA',false);

   change it to become:

   define('USE_INTERNAL_CAPTCHA',true);

   Now I got the text "Type the letters ypu see in the image below" but no image is shown, just an empty box.

   Oh, I forgot to let you know that GD extension for your PHP must be enabled in order to use the internal CAPTCHA. Please confirm with your host regarding this, they might have it disabled.

   Meanwhile, you can always use the reCaptcha. It should work without any specific requirement.

   Sorry, this is my first PHP installation ever...how do I enable this GD extension?
   In the php.ini under the section "Dynamic Extensions" I don't have something like GD extension=...

   you can search this line in php.ini

   ;extension=php_gd2.dll

   by default it have comment, remove ";" (semi colon) and it will become like this :

   extension=php_gd2.dll

   after that you should restart the web server

   Do run your own server ? it's so if your server run on windows, you can check on your /php/ext or /php/extension directory for php_gd2.dll file. If it's exist you can put these line to your php.ini

   extension=php_gd2.dll

   if you run on linux, I'm afraid there are some steps you have to do. You can find more from this manual :

    Hi,

    It seems you installing PHP module with installer package, try to download PHP ZIP package the "php_gd2.dll" module should be in "/ext" folder.

    THANKS !!!

    After unzipping the "php_gd2.dll" into the "/ext"-folder and modifying the php.ini by adding under the section "Dynamic Extensions" "extension=php_gd2.dll" it works.

    Thank you again for your support.

    Just a note, I did everything above but still couldn't see the Captcha letters, only the text box to fill in the letters. I finally learned that I was missing "freetype support" which I had to have my server install. Once they did this, everything worked fine.

    zoomer, yes you are right. GD with Freetype support is the requirement for the internal CAPTCHA.
