define("PRIVATEKEY"," ");
$resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey, $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"], $_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"], $_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);
if ($resp->is_valid) {
?>success<?
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$reason = $_POST['reason'];
$header = 'From: ' . $email . "
";
$msg = "Sent from: " . $name . "
";
$msg .= "Email: " . $email . "

"(reCAPTCHA said: " . $resp->error . ")");

<?php echo recaptcha_get_html(PUBLICKEY); ?>
</div>
<input type="submit" value="" class="send"/>
</form>
i already checked if the public and private key are correct.. does somebody have an idea about what is wrong on this code?
You are receiving this error when submitting the recaptcha which tells me that your API key is not being submitted properly:
To use reCAPTCHA you must get an API key from https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin/create
Update:
recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey,
See the problem there? You're using $privatekey instead of PRIVATEKEY so you're actually submitting nothing as your private key. The error was correct (trust the error messages!). I use Chrome's built in developer tools (Ctrl+Shift+i) to debug this.
