WebToLead Form Submission + Captcha

[linuxhombre1]

Hello,

I am trying to implement captcha with the wonderful WebToLead functionality.

So far, it's all integrated fine, but Captcha requires that it takes over the FORM ACTION area of my form. Is there any way around this? I have to pass the form data to the SugarCRM domainname.com/index.php&EntryPoint= using the FORM ACTION area.

Any help on how to get captcha working or a similar tool to protect the form from spam is GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you so much and please let me know if you have any questions / need more information.

Build a page between, test the captcha, if it's good, forward the rest of the POST data to the CRM using curl and redirect the user somewhere else.

Not familiar with CURL, but it should be easy, and a practical way without tampering with what Sugar is doing.


Upgrade safe too.

I did read something about this, but I'm very unsure of the implementation logistics.

Ideally, I would rather just be able to leave my form initiator the same...

<form action="http://myDomain.com/CRM/index.php?entryPoint=WebToLeadCapture" name="WebToLeadForm" method="POST" id="WebToLeadForm">

... so I l can pass the form data directly to the form without having to tamper with a manual pass via CURL or otherwise.


Would someone mind posting an example of how to do this OR of how to reach the same goal using a different method? I am not absolutely set on using Captcha, I just need to make sure bots can't pick up and post to my forms.

Thanks!

Can anyone link me to an example of:

- PHP form that uses Captcha to verify a real user
- Form data is grabbed from main page and passed to: FORM ACTION="myUrl.php" using CURL

I've searched everywhere and I have not been able to find an example of this set up using CURL with Captcha.

Thanks again for the help and don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.

CURL:

For the captchas they vary depending upon implementation, when the captcha is created it should store the actual letters somewhere in a database or file, and link it to the session ID, you just pull it up via session ID and compare.

OK so I definitely know how to handle the integration of any Captcha.

What I do ask for is a small example of what I'd do in CURL in the switch after Captcha is verified (ie; the below pseudocode which would be included in a 'verify.php' sort of file, which will handle what to do if a Captcha is verified or if it is not verified):

if Captcha NOT verified-

return text stating to renter captcha code

END

if Captcha IS verified-

- How are the form data items referenced/manipulated here

- How does CURL pass the form data to the Web-To-Lead URL: http://www.myDomain.com/CRM/index.ph...bToLeadCapture

Thanks again.

Yeeeah! I got it.

Let me know if you guys/gals want me to post the end-solution and I will.

Would be great to see the end solution linuxhombre1! I've been searching for the same thing.
