flash vars into PHP??????

[djangokill]

   

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
got a form and PHP backend.

all the variable names are set properly etc and the script runs successfully. I get an email, but the spaces where the variables should be are blank. I have set it up to work with an html form and everything works perfectly.

but for some reason flash isnt passing the variables into the php.

any ideas??

This is the script

<?
$ToEmail = "me@me.com";
$ToName = "Me";
$ToSubject = "Mail";

$EmailBody = "Sent By: $FirstName\nSenders Email: $Email\n\nMessageSent:\n$ToComments\n\n";

$EmailFooter="\nThis message was sent by: $FirstName from $REMOTE_ADDR If you feel that you recieved this e-mail by accident please contact us at www.yourSite.com";    

$Message = $EmailBody.$EmailFooter;

mail($ToName." <".$ToEmail.">",$ToSubject, $Message, "From: ".$FirstName." <".$Email.">");

Print "_root.contact_form.form_fields.EmailStatus=Complete - Your mail has been sent";
?>

and this is on the button

on (release) {
   if (_root.contact_form.form_fields.FirstName eq "") {
       EmailStatus = "Please Enter your name";
   } else if (!_root.contact_form.form_fields.Email.length || _root.contact_form.form_fields.Email.indexOf("@") == -1 ||_root.contact_form.form_fields.Email.indexOf(".") == -1) {
       EmailStatus = "Please enter a valid e-mail address";
   } else if (_root.contact_form.form_fields.ToComments eq "") {
       EmailStatus = "Please enter a message";
   } else {
       loadVariablesNum ("fumemail.php", 0, "POST");
       EmailStatus = "Sending... one moment please";
   }
}


cheers in advance

Hi,

your vars are inside a clip _root.contact_form.form_fields but you are sending from the main timeline. Try
loadvariables("fumemail.php", _root.contact_form.form_fields, POST)

cheers Musicman,

the send button and the form fields are all in the same movie clip. and the feedback statement that the PHP generates gets displayed correctly in that same movie clip.

Hi, I get a 404 - is it something like www.fumemedia.com/thismovie.swf ?

Musicman

[djangokill]

sorry, forgot about the www

here it is

http://fumemedia.port5.com/

cheers.
I can get it to receive the variables if I declare the variables as part of the 'else' statement:


   } else {
       FirstName=spoons
       loadVariablesNum ("fumemail.php", 0, "POST");
       EmailStatus = "Sending... one moment please";
   }
}

this sends the email, and sets the senders name as spoons.

but the other variables are not passed.  

i tried declaring the variables like

FirstName=_root.contactform.etc.etc.name (thats what i changed the text field to in order to test this)

any ideas??

cheers

Is there a direct link to your movie as well - your main page is familiar microbians "crash that other browser" script...

Musicman

[djangokill]

eh? don't get it...crash that other browser script??

the movie is called hex1.swf

http://fumemedia.port5.com/hex1.html


good luck

sorted it

I declare the vars after the else statement.

And now the god damn thing works. After a week of messing about with the damn thing.

Cheers for your efforts.

Hi,

the microbians chromeless thing reliably crashes netscape 4.x browsers

the message sent from the movie to your script sends these vars:
EmailStatus=&FirstName=Musicman&Email=musicman@f2s.com&ToComments=hi,testing your script
(urlencoding removed for better reading)
If you have different results in your mail, this would be a problem with the script
