Simple ReCaptcha

Zend Form Class

source: application/forms/ReCaptcha.php

<?php
class Form_ReCaptcha extends Zend_Form
{
    public function init()
    {
        $this->setMethod('post');
        //Add your elements here...

        $recaptcha = new Zend_Service_ReCaptcha($publickey, $privatekey);

        $captcha = new Zend_Form_Element_Captcha('challenge',
              array('captcha'        => 'ReCaptcha',
                    'captchaOptions' => array('captcha' => 'ReCaptcha', 'service' => $recaptcha)));

        $this->addElement($captcha);

        // Add the submit button
        $this->addElement('submit', 'submit', array('label' => 'Submit'));
    }
}
?>

Zend Controller Class

source: application/controller/ReCaptchaController.php

<?php
class ReCaptchaController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        require_once APPLICATION_PATH . '/forms/Contact.php';

        $form = new Form_ReCaptcha();

        if ($this->_request->isPost()) {
            $formData = $this->_request->getPost();
            if ($form->isValid($formData)) {
                $recaptcha = new Zend_Service_ReCaptcha($publickey, $privatekey);

                $result = $recaptcha->verify($this->_getParam('recaptcha_challenge_field'),
                                             $this->_getParam('recaptcha_response_field'));
                if (!$result->isValid()) {
                    //ReCaptcha validation error
                    //Your action here...
               }
            }
        }
        $this->view->form = $form;
    }
}
?>

Customized ReCaptcha

You may also want to internationalizing or change colors to ReCaptcha, to do it you need to specify some options for the Zend_Service_ReCaptcha object.
See the ReCaptcha wiki for a complete list of available options.
