Script For Flash Email Form And Php

[LilyZ]

Hi,

 

My name is Lily and I am new to this forum.

Since the last post was back in 2004 I decided to start new topic.

 

I have a problem making email form from flash with php to work with your server.

PHP code is:

<?

if(!empty($HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_mail']) || !empty($HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_message']) || !empty($HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_subject']) || !empty($HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_name']))

{

$to = "my email";

$subject = stripslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_subject']);

$body = stripslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_message']);

$body .= "\n\n---------------------------\n";

$body .= "Mail sent by: " . $HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_name'] . " <" . $HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_mail'] . ">\n";

$header = "From: " . $HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_name'] . " <" . $HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_mail'] . ">\n";

$header .= "Reply-To: " . $HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_name'] . " <" . $HTTP_POST_VARS['sender_mail'] . ">\n";

$header .= "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion() . "\n";

$header .= "X-Priority: 1";

if(@mail($to, $subject, $body, $header))

{

echo "output=sent";

} else {

echo "output=error";

}

} else {

echo "output=error";

}

?>

 

Please let me know what line should be changed, that your server receive the email form.

Thank you so very much.

Welcome to the forums Lily.

 

$HTTP_POST_VARS was depreciated sometime ago. You need to either delcare $HTTP_POST_VARS as global or use $_POST as I have below.

 

><?
if(!empty($_POST['sender_mail']) || !empty($_POST['sender_message']) || !empty($_POST['sender_subject']) || !empty($_POST['sender_name']))
{
$to = "my email";
$subject = stripslashes($_POST['sender_subject']);
$body = stripslashes($_POST['sender_message']);
$body .= "\n\n---------------------------\n";
$body .= "Mail sent by: " . $_POST['sender_name'] . " <" . $_POST['sender_mail'] . ">\n";
$header = "From: " . $_POST['sender_name'] . " <" . $_POST['sender_mail'] . ">\n";
$header .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST['sender_name'] . " <" . $_POST['sender_mail'] . ">\n";
$header .= "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion() . "\n";
$header .= "X-Priority: 1";
if(@mail($to, $subject, $body, $header))
{
echo "output=sent";
} else {
echo "output=error";
}
} else {
echo "output=error";
}
?>

Thank you so much for fast reply!

I will try it now in meanwhile please let me know if I need to change anything in send button code.

Thank you in advance.

 

Here is how I call the php file from flash:

---------------------

on (release) {

// Now import the variables we

// need to send in this movie clip

sender_mail = _root.Semail.text

sender_name = _root.Sname.text

sender_subject = _root.Ssubject.text

sender_message = _root.Smessage.text

// all the vars we just imported

// will be sent via POST method now

loadVariables("sendmail.php",this,"POST");

// and when receives the answer from

// the server...

this.onData = function()

{

for(var a in this) trace([a,this[a]])

// ok, next frame

_root.nextFrame();

if(this.output=='sent')

{

// in case of success

_root.errTitle = 'Thank You.';

_root.errType = "Your message has been succesfully sent.";

} else {

// else

_root.errTitle = "Error!";

_root.errType = "Attention, an error occurred while processing your message. Please try again later.";

}

}

}

One more thing:

I just check on the server and cgi-bin is set to : mail.php

 

Should I change the name of my php file?

 

What doesn't work is respond from server, to get to "thank you" part .
