Ok, I see. The script is very old, and servers currently have globals disabled (see http://www.flash-db.com/Board/index.php?topic=7713.0) Add something like this at the very beginning of the PHP script:

foreach($getvars as $var)
  if(isset($_GET[$var]))
     $$var = $_GET[$var];
foreach($getvars as $var)
  if(isset($_POST[$var]))
     $$var = $_POST[$var];

I just copy & paste your code at beginning of PHP script:

#!/usr/local/bin/php5

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Here's your Flash Ecard - from the Flash-dB.com Tutorial</TITLE>
<?
foreach($getvars as $var)
  if(isset($_GET[$var]))
     $$var = $_GET[$var];
foreach($getvars as $var)
  if(isset($_POST[$var]))
     $$var = $_POST[$var];
switch ($ENum) {

   case '1':
   $goto = "Ecard1.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText;
   $gotoFooter = "EcardFooter.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText."&EcardSelect=1";
   $Dimensions = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=525";
   $DimensionsFooter = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=250";
   break;

   case '2':
   $goto = "Ecard2.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText;
   $gotoFooter = "EcardFooter.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText."&EcardSelect=2";
   $Dimensions = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=525";
   $DimensionsFooter = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=250";
   break;

   case '3':
   $goto = "Ecard3.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText;
   $gotoFooter = "EcardFooter.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText."&EcardSelect=3";
   $Dimensions = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=525";
   $DimensionsFooter = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=250";
   break;

   case '4':
   $goto = "Ecard4.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText;
   $gotoFooter = "EcardFooter.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText."&EcardSelect=4";
   $Dimensions = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=525";
   $DimensionsFooter = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=250";
   break;

   case '5':
   $goto = "Ecard5.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText;
   $gotoFooter = "EcardFooter.swf?EcardText=".$EcardText."&EcardSelect=5";
   $Dimensions = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=525";
   $DimensionsFooter = "WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=250";
   break;
}

Hi,

one line missing....
the code block would be
$getvars = array('ENum','EcardText');
foreach($getvars as $var)
  if(isset($_GET[$var]))
     $$var = $_GET[$var];
foreach($getvars as $var)
  if(isset($_POST[$var]))
     $$var = $_POST[$var];

You can use this kind of script with other projects (e.g. email form) as well - jiust put a list of the variables that the script expects from flash

I added this line but the web page still can't show the flash.
http://www.tstscc.org/temp/Johnny/Ecards/SelectCard.php
How can I solve the problem in this case?
I also post SendEcard.php source code for try to check all process:

#!/usr/local/bin/php5

<?

$CreateEcard = date(U);

$filename = $CreateEcard.".txt";

$ToName = stripslashes($ToName);
$FromName = stripslashes($FromName);
$Greeting = stripslashes($Greeting);
$IntroMessage = stripslashes($IntroMessage);
$EndMessage = stripslashes($EndMessage);

$Today = (date ("l dS of F Y ( h:i:s A )",time()));

$Created="Ecard Created on $Today";

$EcardNum = $EcardSelect;

$EcardText = "ToName=$ToName&ToEmail=$ToEmail&FromName=$FromName&FromEmail=$FromEmail&Greeting=$Greeting&IntroMessage=$IntroMessage&Created=$Created";


$fp = fopen( "./dBText/$filename","w");
fwrite($fp, $EcardText, 10000);
fclose( $fp );

######Email Card########
## You can change the subject and the message part around.
## Make sure to change the Link as stated in the Tutorial.
## (Change from 'someSite' to your actual site - leave the rest the same


$ToSubject = "You have recieved a Flash Ecard from $FromName";
$Message = "$ToName,\nYou have recieved a Flash card from $FromName. \nClick the following link to view your card:\n\n http://www.tstscc.org/temp/Johnny/Ecards/SelectCard.php?EcardText=$CreateEcard&ENum=$EcardNum\n\n-----------------------------------\nHere is the message that was sent:\n$ToName,\n$Greeting\n$IntroMessage\n\n-$FromName\n\n\n-----------------------------------\nThis card was sent from www.flash-db.com/Ecards/\n\nThe Flash-dB Team.";


###################
## This line actually sends the email - you should not have to change this.

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


## This next line returns a success message to the movie.
print "_root.Status=Success your Card Has Been Sent!";

#### End #########

You mean like that?

$getvars = array('ENum','EcardText');
$getvars = array('ToEmail','EcardText');
$getvars = array('ToName','EcardText');
$getvars = array('ToSubject','EcardText');
$getvars = array('Message','EcardText');

foreach($getvars as $var)
  if(isset($_GET[$var]))
     $$var = $_GET[$var];
foreach($getvars as $var)
  if(isset($_POST[$var]))
     $$var = $_POST[$var];

The code changed:

$getvars = array('ENum','EcardText','ToEmail','ToName','ToSubject','Message');
foreach($getvars as $var)
  if(isset($_GET[$var]))
     $$var = $_GET[$var];
foreach($getvars as $var)
  if(isset($_POST[$var]))
     $$var = $_POST[$var];

However, the flash still can't load on page. If check the resoure in IE. I can't see the php script embed the var.

How to fix that?

Looking at the source code on your page, i see that you havent entered a path or file name in the following
<EMBED src=""  for any of the flash files
you should be putting the path to your flash file between " "
example <EMBED src="myflashfile.swf"
