Answer 1

Chances are, if the page is just white with no output, your require_once() is failing. Check your error logs, and you’ll probably see something like:

PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/path/to/recaptchalib.php'

Also, as ceejayoz suggested, you should follow reCAPTCHA’s examples and use their methodology to check for success or failure. The way you are checking your $result, if it’s not set to “pass” or “fail”, your $content variable will have nothing in it.
