Hello, I want to build a function in the code section of my page where I can validate the "Google recaptcha". I know that there is a plugin already for captcha, but I want to have my own code, also for learning. I cannot define a class for an object in the code section. So how and where would I define a class, if I don't want to build a plugin or component? I just want to create an object in the code section out of the class. Is this possible?

Or let me ask different: When I define a class in my component and link this component to my page, how can I create an object in the code section of the page like:

function onStart()
{
$object = new myclass();
}

Thank You!

Hi,

Why would you like to create an object? Why not just inclued it in your components, or plugins classes?

In the example of the recaptcha, the a object is created of a class (given by the google dev). The object should be created in the function onSend(), so that the after submitting a contact form, the secret key from a variable is given to the object and it verifies the key. How would you suggest? Should I drop the class and write the functions of the class in the code section of the page to verify my key? As you realize I am no PHP and no Laravel expert. But I want to get better in programming and I like the idea about Laravel and I like October CMS as a clean CMS. But it is difficult for me to transfer simple php logic to the logic of October. Thank You in advance:)
