Installation

The Captcha Service Provider can be installed via Composer by requiring the mews/captcha package and setting the minimum-stability to dev (required for Laravel 5) in your project's composer.json.

{
    "require": {
        "laravel/framework": "5.0.*",
        "mews/captcha": "~3.0"
    },
    "minimum-stability": "stable"
}

or

Require this package with composer:

composer require mews/captcha

Update your packages with composer update or install with composer install.

In Windows, you'll need to include the GD2 DLL php_gd2.dll in php.ini. And you also need include php_fileinfo.dll and php_mbstring.dll to fit the requirements of mews/captcha's dependencies.

Usage

To use the Captcha Service Provider, you must register the provider when bootstrapping your Laravel application. There are essentially two ways to do this.

Find the providers key in config/app.php and register the Captcha Service Provider.

    'providers' => [
        // ...
        'Mews\Captcha\CaptchaServiceProvider',
    ]

for Laravel 5.1+

    'providers' => [
        // ...
        Mews\Captcha\CaptchaServiceProvider::class,
    ]

For Laravel 11+ you can add the provider to bootstrap\providers.php.

return [
    // ...
    Mews\Captcha\CaptchaServiceProvider::class
];

Find the aliases key in config/app.php.

    'aliases' => [
        // ...
        'Captcha' => 'Mews\Captcha\Facades\Captcha',
    ]

for Laravel 5.1+

    'aliases' => [
        // ...
        'Captcha' => Mews\Captcha\Facades\Captcha::class,
    ]

For Laravel 11+ : you do not need to add the alias, it will be added automatically.

Configuration

Custom settings:

To use your own settings, publish config.

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Mews\Captcha\CaptchaServiceProvider"

config/captcha.php

return [
    'default'   => [
        'length'    => 5,
        'width'     => 120,
        'height'    => 36,
        'quality'   => 90,
        'math'      => true,  //Enable Math Captcha
        'expire'    => 60,    //Captcha expiration
    ],
    // ...
];

Images

To use your own custom images for a background, set 'bgImage' to true and change the 'bgsDirectory' setting to your directory you want the image(s) to be used.
If you just want to change the background color, then set 'bgImage' to false and the 'bgColor' will be applied.

Disable validation:

To disable the captcha validation use CAPTCHA_DISABLE environment variable. e.g. .env config:

CAPTCHA_DISABLE=true

Example Usage

Session Mode:

    // [your site path]/Http/routes.php
    Route::any('captcha-test', function() {
        if (request()->getMethod() == 'POST') {
            $rules = ['captcha' => 'required|captcha'];
            $validator = validator()->make(request()->all(), $rules);
            if ($validator->fails()) {
                echo '<p style="color: #ff0000;">Incorrect!</p>';
            } else {
                echo '<p style="color: #00ff30;">Matched :)</p>';
            }
        }
    
        $form = '<form method="post" action="captcha-test">';
        $form .= '<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="' . csrf_token() . '">';
        $form .= '<p>' . captcha_img() . '</p>';
        $form .= '<p><input type="text" name="captcha"></p>';
        $form .= '<p><button type="submit" name="check">Check</button></p>';
        $form .= '</form>';
        return $form;
    });

Detailed Example in Laravel way view files

    //register.blade.php
    <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mewebstudio/captcha/HEAD/{{ captcha_src() }}" alt="captcha">
        <div class="mt-2"></div>
        <input 
            type="text" name="captcha" class="form-control @error('captcha') is-invalid @enderror" placeholder="Please Insert Captch"
            >
         @error('captcha') 
         <div class="invalid-feedback">{{ $message }}</div> @enderror 

controller files

        Validator::make($input, [
            'name' => ['required', 'string', 'max:255'],
            'email' => [
                'required',
                'string',
                'email',
                'max:255',
                Rule::unique(User::class),
            ],
            'password' => $this->passwordRules(),
            'captcha' => 'required|captcha'
        ])->validate();

Stateless Mode:

You get key and img from this url http://localhost/captcha/api/math and verify the captcha using this method:

    //key is the one that you got from json response
    // fix validator
    // $rules = ['captcha' => 'required|captcha_api:'. request('key')];
    $rules = ['captcha' => 'required|captcha_api:'. request('key') . ',math'];
    $validator = validator()->make(request()->all(), $rules);
    if ($validator->fails()) {
        return response()->json([
            'message' => 'invalid captcha',
        ]);

    } else {
        //do the job
    }

Return Image

captcha();

or

Captcha::create();

Return URL

captcha_src();

or

Captcha::src('default');

Return HTML

captcha_img();

or

Captcha::img();

To use different configurations

captcha_img('flat');

Captcha::img('inverse');

etc.
