Flash :: Cgi Mail Form

Flash/CGI E-mail Form -- Form Sends Info To E-mail? HELP Please (AIM/ICQ)
I am trying to make a flash file where you enter in information and then you click send and it sends the data in the form to my e-mail address. I tried customizing all of the cgi ones from the movies section of flashkit, and modifyied the cgi script accordingly. No matter what I've tried, I won't receive the information in my e-mail. For me, this matter is too hard to resolve over e-mail or a forum, so if you would like to, please help me out over instant messenger. I will be online under AIM name: blizzardmedia and ICQ number 64322480

Thanks for your help.

PHP Form-mail Being Recieved As JUNK-MAIL
hello, i'm having trouble with a PHP form-mail for flash that i grabbed from http://www.bigjolt.com
i tried contacted the dude himself, but no response.
the problem is that after the form clears, i recieve the mail
in my Hotmail 'junk-mail'
i tried adjusting my Hotmail junk-mail filter but had no luck.
plus if i email myself on the form, it should just be like emailng yourself through a regualar email client, which doesnt go to the junk mail box.

basically i need a PHP script with a flash-form thats easy to configure, and that also sends a custom message back to the user.

you can try out the one i have right now here:
http://zain.squarepusher.info

and see if it comes in your junk mail or what??

thanks a lot!~

Not Receiving E-mail From Mail Form
Hey all,

I know that there have been dozens of posts regarding mail form problems. I've read over all of them, but haven't found anything to help with my problem.

I have a very simple mail form on my flash site, and am using a .php file to handle the information and send it to my email. It all appears to be functioning correctly, except I'm not receiving my emails.

I've checked with my server and they said everything appears to be in order, and it must be a problem with my script. I've done this many times in HTML, but this is my first in Flash. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm attaching my flash file, and I'll print my .php below.

<?

$adminaddress = "form@outshinewebdesign.com";
$siteaddress ="http://www.outshinewebdesign.com";
$sitename = "Outshine Web Design";

//No need to change anything below ...
// Gets the date and time from your server
$date = date("m/d/Y H:i:s");

// Gets the IP Address
if ($REMOTE_ADDR == "") $ip = "no ip";
else $ip = getHostByAddr($REMOTE_ADDR);

// Gets the POST Headers - the Flash variables
$action = $HTTP_POST_VARS['action'] ;
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS['email'] ;
$name = $HTTP_POST_VARS['name'] ;
$comments = $HTTP_POST_VARS['comments'] ;

//Process the form data!
// and send the information collected in the Flash form to Your nominated email address

if ($action == "send") {
//
mail ("$adminaddress","Info Request",
"A visitor at $sitename has left the following information

Name: $name
Email: $email

The visitor commented:
------------------------------
$comments

Logged Info :
------------------------------
Using: $HTTP_USER_AGENT
Hostname: $ip
IP address: $REMOTE_ADDR
Date/Time: $date","FROM:$adminaddress" ) ;

//This sends a confirmation to your visitor
mail ("$email","Thank You for visiting $sitename",
"Hi $name,

Thank you for your interest in $sitename!

Cheers,
$sitename
$siteaddress","FROM:$adminaddress") ;

//Confirmation is sent back to the Flash form that the process is complete
$sendresult = "Thank you. You will receive a confirmation email shortly.";
$send_answer = "answer=";
$send_answer .= rawurlencode($sendresult);
echo $send_answer;
} //

Help: Form Mail (CGI-style Email Form) In Flash
Anyone have a nice .FLA file to share so I can get in and play with the AS?

I need to setup a CGI-style email submission (request info, etc) completely within the MX2004 pro environment--for a client.

I'm not completely fluent in AS2.0, but I can run with changing the fields and calls so long as the sample is not too complex.

Much appreciated.

I'm trying to bulid a feedack form that will send the info people type to my e-mail. I've tried the tutorials, but I don't know what I'm doing with the cgi script, so it doesn't work. Can someone help?

Form To Mail CGI
hello

Ok i have flash five, and I have looked for a tutorial or an open source file that deals with form to mail cgi but have not found anything that works. Am i looking in the wrong places?

I would very much appreciate if someone could send me an example along with the actual cgi script itself.

thankyou

PHP Mail Form...please Fix
Okay guys, here's what's going on.
First, go check out my website <http://www.brentrobbins.com>. On the "contact" page I have my mailform. It does not work, it just sits there and says, "Sending Data...."

HERE'S THE SCRIPT FOR THE PHP FILE (pasted directly):

<?php

$TextVariable = '&results=';
$response = 'Data Sent. Thank You..';

echo $TextVariable;
echo $response;

/* recipients */
$recipient .= "<brent@brentrobbins.com>" ;

/* subject */
$subject = "Your Automail";

/* message */
$message .= "Name: $name
Email: $email
Comments: $comments
";

/* additional header pieces for errors, From cc's, bcc's, etc */
$headers .= "From: $name <$email>
";

/* and now mail it */
mail($recipient, $subject, $message, $headers);

?>

AND HERE'S THE SCRIPT I HAVE FOR MY 'SUBMIT' BUTTON:

on (release) {
// logical operator checks length. IndexOf checks for "@" and "." characters in e-mail
if (!email.length || email.indexOf("@") == -1 || email.indexOf(".") == -1) {
results = "Please check your e-mail address.";
} else if (!comments.length) {
results = "Please enter your comments.";
} else if (!name.length) {
results = "Please enter your name.";
} else {
loadVariablesNum ("http://www.brentrobbins.com/mailform.php", 0, "GET");
results = "Sending Data...";
}
}

I HAVE THREE INPUT TEXT FIELDS CALLED, "name," "email," and "comments," and one dynamic text called, "results."

OKAY SO WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

Mail-a-form & F4
I have a message-form made in Flash 4 that sends data to a non-changeable script (mail-a-form).
On submitting your message I call the script via Get URL ("/cgi-bin/mail-a-form", window="_blank", vars=POST)
The script sends you to a thankyoupage. This page is set in flash via Set Variable: "nextpage" = "http://........."

There's no way of changing the script but is there a way to not to be send to a nextpage?
Or closing the nextpage immediately after it is opened? ( I tried using javascript but there's a dialogue box popping up to confirm closing the window. This because the window is not opened with javascript)

Thanks in advance
Ivo

And is it possible to allow people to register for a username and password with flash only. Security is not that important, mostly the username and password is for keeping things straight.

E-Mail Form
Hi,

I hope somebody can help me here. I was trying to create a E-Mail Form and to send the information with php. I found a good tutorial (http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Dy...58/more5.shtml) and created it. Now that I'm finished it doesn't work!
I'll tell you what I did. First of all, the form is found on http://www.exdw.de/index2.html on the contact part (it's german, go to "Kontakt").
The input fields and the send button are in the same layer. All the Textfields are Input Texts, Single line and got variables. The send button has the action:

on (release) {
loadVariablesNum("http://www.exdw.de/html/cgi-bin/snowMailPHP.php", "0", "Post");
gotoAndPlay(90);
}

The php-script can be found on http://www.exdw.de/html/cgi-bin/snowMailPHP.php.

Please help me and tell me what I made wrong!? Big THANKS in advance!

Form Mail
Hey Flashers, I'm not getting my perl script, or cgi script to work. For some reason the server-side scripts are not catching my form or e-mailing the form to my e-mail address. Here are my codes:

On the time line of the form, I have these codes:

function SendTheForm (mailerMC){

SendMail = new LoadVars ();
SendMail.attn = mailerMC.attn.text;
SendMail.from = mailerMC.from.text;
SendMail.subject=mailerMC.subject.text;
SendMail.telno=mailerMC.telno.text;
}

SendMail.onLoad = function (success) {
if (success) {
response="Your message was delivered";
}else{
response ="Delivery failed; please try again or send your more conventionally";
}
}

Now, on your button, I have this code:

myButton.onRelease = function () {
SendMail.send("http://www.mywebsite.com/cgi-bin/myform.pl", SendMail, "POST") ;
}

Now, my problem is the script...everyone I use, perl or cgi, is not working...can I get any further assistance...thanx in advance

E-Mail Form Help
Is it possible to make an e-mail form in Flash, without having to redirect it to a PHP or CGI page? I've searched everywhere, and all I find is how to do it with PHP, and I really don't know the first thing about PHP. So is there a way to just be able to send it straight through Flash? And without opening an e-mail form program (IE- Microsoft Outlook, AOL Write Mail). Someone Plz Help. Thnkz.

Php Mail Form
hi!
i´m trying yo make a contact form according to the tutorial found on this site (flash MX php mail form).
First of all i have my own domain and ftp access to my server (so i think i don´t need MySql or something like that).
Then i modify ,as the tutorial says, the mailform.php . Upload the following files:

form.html
form.swf
mailform.php
modelacion.htm (the file that takes me to FORM.HTML)

The original html file was called "index.html" as I already have one I rename it. But i dont think that could be a problem.
So I complete the form and hit the submit button .... and nothing happens, I mean nor an error or the confirmation mail.

If anyone can help me I´ll appreciate it.
by! Andrea.
So I uploaded all the files and

I want to put mail form on my site but I can't use the ones with PHP scripts because the server only accept cgi.

I coudn't find anything with cgi or the ones I found were so complex for me I coudn't figure it out (I am not a script-master)

I put the fla used for the training for download here (go to the contact section). If someone could look at it to help me understand how the connection from server to mail work and what I am suppose to do.

Php Mail Form
http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Inter...9916/index.php

Hello
I'm trying to understand this php mail form.
It does work fine on its own but once in an another movie the status message get stuck to 'wait for confirmation', although the email is being sent properly. I tried to load it as external movie in container and in levels, converted it as an mc, gave it an instance name, changed the roots, try to give labels name to the frame... don't know what else to think?
I understood most of the php file except the use of rawurlencode (found the definition but it didn't help me much)

$send_answer .= rawurlencode($sendresult);

I would be really happy if someone could help me out and explain me where is the problem.
Thanks a lot.
