flash mx form php

[Trippin13]

hi,

just trying to work out how to do a mailer form with flash for php.
I got the basics going but how does it work with check boxes and radio buttons ???

so far I used this code for input fields
$mailsend = mail($address, "Contact >>Enrolment", "<font face='arial'><b>Enrolment:</b></font><font face='arial' size='2'><br><br><b>Name of applicant:</b> $enameOfAp ... etc ...</font>" , "From: $email\r\nContent-type: text/html");
but this doesn work with other elements as I get [object][object]
in my mailed output. Any tips on what to do ?

cheers

I'm waiting on the same thing, but lately nobody answers any questions of mine, I don't know why.

Hi
I worked this out a while ago a just forgot to post back well thought no one is reading the post.

You have to predefine your elements for example

//checkBox1 - varibale tracking state of checkbox
checkBox1="No"; etc..
//radioSmall - instance name of radio button
radioSmall.setData("small"); etc...

//u need handler to detect when radio is selected
//and then call function (in my case "getRadio()" to collect value
//small - is the name of the radio buttons group
small.setChangeHandler("getRadio");

//Now this is how you get the value from your radio group
//(so u know which value was selected and needs to be sent to php)

function getRadio() {
//myRadioSize is just a variable I use to store the value
myRadioSize = small.getValue();
}

CHECKBOXES??? now this is tricky here is the code
//-------------------------------------------------
//need listener again

myCheckboxListener = new Object();
myCheckboxListener.click = function (eventObject)
{
//if checkbox selected assign value yes
if (check1.selected)
//check for state of chkbox instance check1 and store in checkBox1
{ checkBox1 = check1.getValue() ? "No" : "Yes";}
else
//if checkbox deselected assign value no
{ checkBox1 = check1.getValue() ? "Yes" : "No"; }
}
//add listener
check1.addEventListener("click", myCheckboxListener);

then on your submit button you need something like

//you can check some state here like I do using
// getState to see if true or false
if(!myRadio.getState())
{
//send variables to php page
loadVariables ("ProcessForm.php", "", "POST");
}
else{ //redirect to some page }

then u can collect your variables in PHP just using normal $checkBox1 $myRadioSize etc...

Hope it helps it's quite a long process wish it was more automated...
