How to FIX the PHP to get it working!!!

[kreatura]

If your php.ini have "register_globals = off" you have to request the variables from flash by php in this mode:
Add these lines at the begin of the php file:

$ToEmail = $_REQUEST["toEmail"];
$ToName = $_REQUEST["toName"];
$ToSubject = $_REQUEST["ToSubject"];
$FirstName = $_REQUEST["FirstName"];
$Email = $_REQUEST["Email"];
$Company = $_REQUEST["Company"];
$ToComments = $_REQUEST["ToComments"];
$HearAbout = $_REQUEST["HearAbout"];


Also you can use $_POST["yourflashvariable"]; if the variables are sent in POST method or $_GET["yourflashvariable"]; if the variables was send by flash in GET method

And your file should look like:

<?
$ToEmail = $_REQUEST["toEmail"];
$ToName = $_REQUEST["toName"];
$ToSubject = $_REQUEST["ToSubject"];
$FirstName = $_REQUEST["FirstName"];
$Email = $_REQUEST["Email"];
$Company = $_REQUEST["Company"];
$ToComments = $_REQUEST["ToComments"];
$HearAbout = $_REQUEST["HearAbout"];

$EmailBody = "Sent By: $FirstName \n Senders Email: $Email \n Senders Company: $Company \n \n Message Sent: \n $ToComments \n\n Sender Heard About Site From: $HearAbout \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.dedaldesign.ro";

$Message = $EmailBody.$EmailFooter;

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


Print "_root.Mail.EmailStatus=Complete - Your mail has been sent";

?>

or set register_register_globals = on  but most servers worldwide use it to off by security reasons.

For any question contact me at cristi@dedaldesign.ro beacause I'm not
gonna check this forum again

PS: jeffrey, be more relevant in your tutorials. You should say this
thing to newbies. Or you are . . .   but you should know that will not work with
register_globals off

Hi,
Thanks for your post.

Most of the online tutorials were written before the register_globals were set to "off" by default, i.e. before the security vulnerabilities were discovered.
