ActionScript/PHP form please help

[Lokee116]

Hello, I've made a form in swishmax its part of an advertising splash page. on the submit button i have the following actionscript:

 

on (release) {
    if ((nameVar=="")||(emailVar=="")||(numberVar=="")||(msgVar=="")) {
        errormessage="Please fill all the fields";
    } else {
        errormessage="Sending....";
        send="yes";
        this.loadVariables("http://eznetpro.com/ad/flashq.php",'POST');
        nameVar="";
        emailVar="";
        numberVar="";
        msgVar="";
    }
}

 

I have a file named flashq.php in the specified location. the file looks like this:

 

<?
if ($send=="yes") {
$to = "flashad@eznetpro.com";

$re = "Question Submission";

$msg .= " Name: ";
$msg .=$_POST['nameVar'];
$msg .= ", Phone number: ";
$msg .=$_POST['numberVar'];
$msg .= ", E-Mail: ";
$msg .=$_POST['emailVar'];
$msg .= ", Question: ";
$msg .=$_POST['msgVar'];
$tfrom .=$_POST['emailVar'];

mail($to,$re,$msg,$tfrom);
}
echo "&errormessage=Email has been sent&";
?>

 

Im almost 100% positive that my hosting service supports .php

 

The flash page is being hosted at http://eznetpro.com/ad/eznet.html

 

The problem I'm having is the form isnt being sent.

when i launch the flash file from my pc and complete the form it has no problems talking to the php file hosted on the net, and sending the info. but when I upload the flash file and try to complete the form while its hosted online, its not talking to the php and not sending the info.. is there a problem with my code? i cant spot any and im not sure why it would work from my pc but not when hosted online.

 

Please help if you can, or let me know if you need any more info to troubleshoot.

write a simple php page:

 

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

 

and try and browse to this new page. This will see if php is installed and what version you have.

Maybe you copied the file wrong. Try changing your first line to

<?php

inseat of

<?

hmm I tried that and still nothing..

 

I dont understand I cant find any errors in my code, ref links, or file locations... I have php enabled on the server. it seems to work when the flash file is on my local pc and the php is hosted on the web, but when they are both hosted on the web it doesnt work  ???

Write a test PHP page with a form that posts the same data to the PHP page.

 

The look at the out put and errors.

 

When you get it working ok, then start testing it from the flash.

This example maybe a more easier approach for swish max just compare your code against this

 

As you know your submit button Action script code:

 

on (press) {
//checks if the fields are empty if so shows the error message
if (Name=="" or Email=="" or Message=="") {
info="Error Sending Message"

//checks if the name is more than 2 letters most names are more than 2 letters long
//if not shows the error message;
}
else if (Name.length < 2) {
info="Error Sending Message";
}
//checks if the Email is more than 3 letters most email addresses are more than 3 letters long
//if not shows the error message;
else if (Email.length < 3) {
info="Error Sending Message";
}
//checks that an @ has been entered into the Email Field
//if not shows the error message
else if (Email.indexOf("@") == -1) {
}
//checks that an . has been entered into the Email Field
//if not shows the error message
else if (Email.indexOf(".") == -1) {
}
//checks that the message is at least 10 letters long
//if not shows the error message
else if (Message.length < 10) {
info="Error Sending Message";
}
//if everything has passed the checks it loads the variables
//and sends the message
else{
info="Message Was Sent";
loadVariables("send.php",'POST');
}
}

 

Your external flat file named file:flashq.php can replace the send.php

 

The external file referenced in the submit button:

 

<?php
$EmailFrom = "your email address";
$EmailTo = "your email address";
$Subject = "Form submitted from site";
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name']));
$Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email']));
$Message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Message']));
$Body = "";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .="\n";
$Body .= "Email: ";
$Body .= $Email;
$Body .="\n";
$Body .= "Message: ";
$Body .= $Message;
$Body .="\n";
$success -mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");
?>

 

Info box which provides the user error or sent message in response to submitting the form this action script is placed in the scene root and a info box created using the text tool and selecting: Input Text.

 

onLoad () {// carries the function out once
Name="";//clears the Name box
Email="";//clears the Email box
Message="";//clears the Message box
info="";//clears the info box
}

 

If you can get this script to work then all you do is add the extra fields as required.

 

For a button to reset the form the action script is as follows:

on (press) {// carries the function out when button is clicked
Name="";//clears the Name box
Email="";//clears the Email box
Message="";//clears the Message box
info="";//clears the info box
}
