Ready for Review: Zend_Service_Recaptcha

[Pádraic Brady]

Hi all,

http://framework.zend.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=42442

The Zend_Service_Recaptcha proposal has been made ready for review and your comments are very much appreciated. In forming the proposal I decided I'd list it's immediate limitations or open ended questions.

1. The component will not, by default, support XHTML output. This unfortunately is a consequence of the service itself not currently supporting XHTML output.
2. The component implementation does not make mention of any potential Zend_Form or Zend_Validate integration since this is definitely not part of the proposal per se, and something for Matthew to consider (if he ever says "CAPTCHA" and "Zend_Form" too closely together ;)).
3. The component will make use of View Helpers to generate output where feasible only.

If anyone is planning Zend_Form + CAPTCHA it would be here more about it. I'm keeping this component agnostic of any such presumptions for review.

Best regards,
Paddy

Stas has already started work on a CAPTCHA element for Zend_Form; his
design allows for a variety of backends. My hope is to be able to use
DASPRiD's Zend_Figlet and your Recaptcha components as two such backends
(and potentially an image based one later).

I thought something was ongoing - just been out of commission for so long I'd lost track of news about it.

If there are any specific requirements the Recaptcha component should include to make integration easier, let me know.
