Flash :: Can't Send Mailer Form And Can't Write Letter "p" On It

Php Mailer Doesn't Send Email (FMX2004)
Hi,

I've got a textbox that people enter their email into and when they hit 'submit' its supposed to send a link to the email address they entered, but at the moment it doesn't.

This is the code attached to the submit button-

Code:
stop();

var senderLoad:LoadVars = new LoadVars ();
var receiveLoad:LoadVars = new LoadVars ();

submit.onRelease = function () {
senderLoad.Email = Email.text;
senderLoad.sendAndLoad("http://www.samplecompany.co.uk/sender.php", receiveLoad, "POST");
}

receiveLoad.onLoad = function() {
if(sentOk == 'true') {
_root.referring_mc.download_mc.gotoAndStop ("success");
}
else {
_root.referring_mc.download_mc.gotoAndStop ("failed");
}
}
and this is the php it sends to-

PHP Code:

<?PHP

$to = $_GET['$Email'];
$subject = "Samplecompany hangman link";
$message = "Thankyou for joining, please follow this link to play the game. http://www.samplecompany.co.uk/hangman.html";
$headers = "From: admin@samplecompany.co.uk";

$sentOk = mail("$to","$subject","$message","$headers");
echo "&sentOk=" . $sentOk;

?>

If anyone can see why it isn't working any pointers would really be apprecited, I think I've been looking at it for too long now...

Form Mailer
Im sort of a noob at flash, but i have 2 text boxes. One is for there username, and the other message. I want it when you press send, it sends that info to my email address. then changes scene to a thank you scene. How do i do this?

Form Mailer
I am trying to create a simple form mailer with the catergories "name", "email", "phone", and "comment" to send to a specified address. I can create the form and give the input text fields variables but I don't know where to go from there. Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

Help With Form E-mailer
I wonder if anyone can help me.
I am looking to create the following...

A way of transfering data from within flash in the form of variables to an e-mail address.
It will work by the user selecting various products via checkboxes and when they press submit it will submit this data of what products they wish more information on to the clients e-mail address along with the customers e-mail address.

I understand how to get the inofrmation ready to send in flash but i need some advice on the best way to get it out of flash and sent to the clients e-mail address preferably without using PHP or similar scripting as i have no clue about it.

If there is no other way can some one direct me to a decent concise tutorials which will teach me what i need to know about php to achieve such a form.

Cheers

PHP Form Mailer
Hi guys,

Thanks for the great tutorials.

The isnt one on form mailing with php. Can someone help me please.

Thanks alot.

Need Form Mailer.
I am having a horrible time finding a form-mail script that works. I have tried maybe a dozen PHP scripts none of which work. My server seems to think its running PHP but it sure won’t send mail. I have gotten an ASP script to work but it sends the output in one continuous string. (kind of useless from the customers point of view.) If I knew how to get it to format the email that would be great. It also seems to be kind of slow about sending the email. Does anyone know where I can find an ASP script for emailing form results? BTW the one ASP script I have gotten to almost work came from "flash-db.com"

Form Mailer Problem
I finally found a book on flash that I thought solved a problem I've had for a long time. It describes a method of sending form entries through cgi, which transfers them from string variables to email format. My only problem is that I can't get the blasted thing to work. I've followed the instructions in the book very closely. Everything works fine up until the cgi processing. When the form elements are sent to the cgi script, my browser goes to an error page saying that I am restricted or don't have access to this part of the site. Is my server just mean, or am I doing something wrong?

Feedback Form Mailer
I'm having problem with the flash feedback form.
I have an old website done entirely in HTML and its html feedback form and formmail.pl were working fine, so I'm re-using the formmail.pl for the new flash site. It works fine and I receive an email when I send a feedback from the test movie preview within the flash app, but it doesn't work if I'm playing the movie embeded in the browser. What in the world do I do now? Is there anything I need to add in the html file in order to make this work?

Problems With Form Mailer

Php Form Mailer/Flash Help
I have a php form that I am using with my Flash file. It works great so far, but I would like to get confirmation from the php in the Flash file, that the info has really been sent. I think it is already sent up in the php, but I don't know how to handle it in my Flash file. The php file is attached. Do I use the echo? How would I do that? What I want, is in my Flash file to say sending, until I get then feedback from the php, and then say, sent successfully.

Thanks a lot for any help!

Form Mailer Formatting
Hello!

I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to format the data being sent from a multiline text field to a PHP mailer script so that the new line character is preserved.

Currently, the following text, when entered into the flash message form, looks like this:
"Hello,
My name is Kaveh.
What is yours?"When the user clicks the submit button, and the data is sent to my email.php file, and subsequently sent to my email account, the message displays like this:
"Hello,My name is Kaveh.What is yours?" Any help would be greatly appreciated!

- Kaveh

Flash PHP Form Mailer
I've downloaded the Flash PHP form mailer files from the tutorial on this site. I've changed the PHP script to my email address (I've tried both a gmail and hotmail address) and then tried to get it to send me an email with some test form data. However, nothing seems to arrive in my inbox.

The only other thing I've changed is embedding the font characters in the flash file because it wouldn't allow me to input any characters.

I've tried both from a localhost apache server and from my website space and I've also tried other tutorials and files (which seemed a lot more complex) however nothing seems to work.

Is there anything to stop this tutorial from working? (the only other thing is that I'm on a mac)

PHP Form Mailer Problems
When I click submit I get these errors

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/hanken05/public_html/test/mailer.php on line 2

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/hanken05/public_html/test/mailer.php on line 3

I followed the tutorial http://www.kirupa.com/web/form_mailer.htm

Thanks for any help!

PHP3 Form Mailer
i have a send button that is on a contact page and the actions on the button are:

Code:
on (release) {
if (name eq "" or message eq "" or from eq "") {
stop();
} else {
lineAdapt();
loadVariablesNum("/php_uploads/mail.php3", 0, "POST");
gotoAndStop(26);
}
}
and then the contents of my php3 file are:

Code:
<?php
mail("myemail@whatever.com", $name, $message, "From: PHPMailer
Reply-To: $from
X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());
?>
of course that's not my email but i just put that for privacy purposes.

anyway, i know that godaddy supports php3. so any clues as to what the problem might be. i don't know a whole lot about php3 so any help is greatly appreciated. thanks.

Flash Mx Php Form Mailer Problem
Hi everybody,

On http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Inte...-9916/index.php I found this great form. However, I wish to put it in a movieclip but do not manage to get it working. The AS in the first frame is this one:
loadVariablesNum (mailform, 0, "POST");
which I changed into:
_root.formMC.loadVariables("php/mailform2.php");

As you can see, my movieclip is called 'formMC', the reference to the php form is alright and my server allows php.

When using the original (so not in a movieclip), everything is working fine. Could anyone help me out?

Thanks a zillion! ;-)

Form Mailer Not Working When Loaded Into Movie Clip
I followed this tutorial for a form mailer http://www.kirupa.com/developer/acti..._php_email.htm and it works great. However when I try to load this from my main swf into a movie clip holder, it no longer works. It only wants to work by itself, im a novice at flash/actionscript but im wondering if this is causing the problem by trying to get to the root of my main movie instead of the actual mailer.swf?

onClipEvent(data){
_root.nextFrame();
}

Flash Form That Sends Info To CGI Mailer Page
I am trying to create a form e-mail contact for my portfolio (self contained in flash)

I don't want a mailto script and I don't think my site will use PHP mailer so I'm looking to point to a CGI mailer.

I've created an html form that does what I want on another site, but am not sure how to properly send the form variables to the CGI mailer page (I don't know PHP etc - mostly designer - have some scripting abilities and follow tutorials well if anyone has one they can point out). Here is the html form... Looking for something in flash to mimic the <form action="/cgi-bin/cgiemail/contact/contact2.txt">

<form action="/cgi-bin/cgiemail/contact/contact2.txt"><tr>
<td width="514" height="0" align="center" valign="bottom"> <div align="left"><font color="#6a5a52" size="2">

Can Flash Write / Send Query Strings In URL?
hi everyone,

we know how to read query strings from url, but is there a way for flash to write or send a query string?

basically i have this website, one swf, built more like an app, but i would like to have flash setting a query string for reach page, mainly so the client can copy the url and paste it for redirection purposes.

let's say they click on news headline id=1,
i want to display a query string in the browser something like
http://www.website.com/news.htm?id=1

which flash will dynamically set so we can copy the link and use it anytime to redirect to that specific page in the swf.

hope that makes sense,

would appreciate any help.
thanks

Textfield:OnChange - Random Letter Settles On Entered Letter - Impossible?
Hey guys, is this possible?

I've got an inputfield.
OnChange Event Handler.
When someone types a letter, i want the letter to become 0, then 1, then 2, and so on until 9 and then i want the letter to be there.

And when they click on another letter, same effect happens.

so at the end if i typed, "testing", each letter scrolls 0-9 like a roll dial and settles on the letter typed.

What i've managed to do is make it work, but if i type at normal speed and not slow, i end up getting something like:

t32t43g

any ideas?!

Form Write To File.
Hey guys,

I have a form that works fine but it's html at the moment, i'd like to make the form in flash, it's just a simple 2 input text box form (which writes the input data to a .txt file on the server) which will be processed with a php file (assuming i could use the same php file as long as variable names are the same) i've tried, but can't seem to get it to work, i'll post the php code, just wondered if anyone could give me any pointers.

PHP Code:

<?
if(isset($_POST['write_file'])) {

$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$fp = fopen("file.txt", "a");
fputs($fp, "$name $email
");
fclose($fp);
}
?>

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks in advance.

Fading Text In Letter By Letter With Actionscript?
Hi people!

Does anybody know if it is possible to animate text via actionscript.

For example, I would like to do that good old favourite of having text fade in letter by letter.

However, breaking apart every letter and indivdually fading them in one after the other not only takes a hell of a long time, but also (with large pieces of text) would cause huge file sizes.

I thought of masking, but I can't seem to get a soft edge on the mask to enable me to make it look like it is fading in.

Sooo.....

Does anybody know how to do this via actionscript,

OR...

Does anybody know how to get the soft edge on a mask to be able to create a similar effect.

Hope you can help

Cheers

Setting Up A Form Application To Write To An XML File On A Local Computer
First, I'm using Flash CS3, and Actionscript3.

I'm trying to set up a data collection form that will save the results to a file that can later be imported into a database. This is going to be in a Kiosk at a tradeshow and it won't have internet access, so I can't send it to an online PHP or ASP, etc, script.

The form also has several screens, so i thought I'd try to use the Form Application (I know I can only have one frame on the timeline when using this flash template with the data components). I want to try and write the data to a XML file. All the information I've found is for importing data from an XML file to a web server rather than sending data to an XML file on a local computer.

I'm trying to use the XML connector,and an XML file that resides in the same folder as my Flash file, but so far I've had very little luck writing to that XML file. Do I need to set up a dataset to send the form data to that will then send the data to an XML Connector component that will then send the data to the XML file. Should I use LoadVars instead, and if I do, will I have to write to a script, or can it also write to an XML file.

If any one has a better idea to do this, please let me know.

Thanks.

Using Form Send And PHP. Please Help
Hey everyone I have posted here before about using fill out form and PHP. However I was unable to fix the problem. So here it goes again, I am also linking to my .fla if that may help.. Any help is greatly appreciated..

My old post located at:
http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/sh...?postid=419291

I am trying to do the request form with PHP code..
I am having few issues though..For some reason it DOES work and sends my PHP code to email BUT it does not go to the next frame which is Thank You for submitting Screen..When I add GotoandStop (2) which is 2nd frame with thank you screen then my PHP does not work.. here is my outline:

It is Request form with bunch of fields put together in main "FORM"

the code on the main form with all the variables is:
onClipEvent(data){
// show welcome screen
_root.nextFrame();
}

the code for SUBMIT button is:
on (release) {
form.loadVariables("request.php", "POST");
}

Now this code works fine BUT it doesn't go to nextFrame and just sits.. in same window.. When I do
on (release) {
form.loadVariables("request.php", "POST");
gotoAndStop(2);
}

then the PHP does not work and I don't receive any request form email....

What can be the problem and how could I solve this??
Tips appreciated.. Thanks!
