Hi Eric,
did you read the whole thread?
There are lots of hints
Anyway, what does not work. You have to go ther step by step.
Doesnt work is not enough to get to the problem.
In most cases its a lack of rights on the server.
Which scripting are you using? On which OS is the server running?
Is it your server, or are you using shared public server? Does your ISP support mail sent by scripts?
Thanks for the reply. Step by step: I downloaded the zip file. I unzipped it and followed the tutorial. I made the url changes to the php and the code in the swfs. I uploaded the entire thing to the appropriate directories on-line. It would run like it was GOING to do something but nothing would happen. It would promt me to pick a card, I could fill out the input boxes, it would even tell me the card had been sent. The txt file was getting written, no mail was getting sent. I then read the threads and the only solution I could think of was to try to change the php to the 4.01 and newer version. I downloaded it, replaced the current php with that. No change. It pretends like it's working, but it doesn't.
On this same server (different derectory) I have a form that people can fill out to order trial versions of software, well, these forms do work, they come back to me in an email, I ran them through asp and they seem to work so I assume that the email permissions must surely be turned on. I've contacted tech suport about server settings. They didn't know so they had thier boss send me an email walking me through the steps to change permissions, it's a windowsnt server so I had to follow prompts on the site to do this. I had this done 24 hours before they ever got around to emailing me. first it said pending, then within a day the changes took effect. I can type in the directory name in the address box, with no index, and it gives me a listing of the directory, which again has to do with permissions, in the beginning it wouldn't do that, it would send me to a default error message. So I'm assuming I managed to get the permissions turned on. So, from my limited resources, I'm assuming that I have the directories set up, the permissions turned on, and that mailto does indeed work for asp so I'm hoping I can extropolate that it should also work for php.
With all the permissions turned off you can go to
http://darkewebsites.com/ECards/ and view the files I'm sure. or from
http://darkewebsites.com/ECards/ecards.swf you can watch it act like it's going to work. from
http://darkewebsites.com/ECards/dBText ou can view that no txt file are being written to the directory. I have very limited php, and my flash skills are only 9 weeks old, so this is over the top exciting for me. Any advise you can give me on how to rip into this and debug it to make it run would be apreciated.
Again thanks for the reply, and thanks for any help you can give me.
