PHP mail HELP...please

[JazzMan_4_Jesus]

This is DRIVING ME NUTS!!! I finally made the switch from Swish to Flash, thanks to a great (old) book called foundation Flash 5. The movie works great! My forum USED to work on PHP4 but now I am on a server running PHP5. Now my form doesn't work

I have a very simple form. 3 text blocks with vars of fullname, email, and message.

This is the code for my send button

on (release)
{
    if (fullname eq "" || email eq "" || message eq "")
    {
        stop ();
    }
    else
    {
        loadVariablesNum("/form.php", 0, "POST");
		gotoAndStop(50);
		
    } // end else if
}

This is the code to my form.php

<?php
$fullname=$_GET['fullname'];
$email=$_GET['email'];
$message=$_GET['message'];

$to="support@weather4powerpoint.com";
$subject="Contact Form from Wx4PPT";
mail($to,$subject,$message,"From: Weather 4 PowerPoint Contact Page\nReply-To: $email\n");
?>

When I get the email I get the subject, from and to.. NOTHING in the body of the email??? if you can help I will GREATLY appreciate it!

The site with the form is, if you have not already noticed http://www.weather4powerpoint.com chose flash and click contact in the menu.

Thank you for any help that you can offer.

try using -
$fullname=$_POST['fullname'];
etc..etc

[JazzMan_4_Jesus]

that works but it only sends the message not the email or the fullname.. I have tried this

<?php
$fullname=$_POST['fullname'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$message=$_POST['message'];

$to="support@weather4powerpoint.com";
$subject="Contact Form from Wx4PPT";
mail($to,$subject,$fullname,$email,$message,"From: Weather 4 PowerPoint Contact Page\nReply-To: $email\n");
?>

the form will not even send.. so I removed $fullname and $email tested and it sent $message.. so I renamed $message to $email and it sent.. can you show me the best way to send fullname, email, and message within the body?

Thank you again for your help!

1. what version of Flash are you using ?
2. are you certain that your variable names for the textfields are correct ?

[JazzMan_4_Jesus]

Using Flash MX

text fields are (fullname, email, message) and they are all set to input text fields.

[a_modified_dog]

try using loadvars -

// button code -
on (release){
 if (fullname eq "" || email eq "" || message eq "") {
 stop ();
} else {
 _root.sendMail();
gotoAndStop(50);
} // end else if
}

// code on frame with textfields (variable names)
function sendMail(){
lv = new LoadVars();
lv.fullname = _root.fullname;
lv.email = _root.email;
lv.message = _root.message;
lv.onLoad = function(){
trace(unescape(this));
}; // end onLoad
lv.sendAndLoad("full path to php", lv, "POST");
} // end sendMail

send some feedback from your php to see if the variables are received
echo "&mailVar=".$email."&";
this will show in your output window as a result of the onLoad function

If you need I can upload the FLA to my server

[a_modified_dog]

where to add the second code

on the frame number that covers the textfields

ie .. textfields on frame#1, layers 13, 14, 15
code on frame#1, layer 12

[JazzMan_4_Jesus]

[a_modified_dog]

[JazzMan_4_Jesus]

BTW I am running MX V6

[JazzMan_4_Jesus]

[a_modified_dog]

[JazzMan_4_Jesus]

ok will test it and let you know

[JazzMan_4_Jesus]

it still only sends message.. it has to be in this code

mail($to,$subject,$message,"From: Weather 4 PowerPoint Contact Page\nReply-To: $email\n");
?>

[a_modified_dog]

try this for form.php -

<?php
$fullname=$_POST['fullname'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$message=$_POST['message'];
$date = date("m/d/Y H:i:s");
$to="support@weather4powerpoint.com";

if ($REMOTE_ADDR == "") $ip = "no ip";
else $ip = getHostByAddr($REMOTE_ADDR);

mail($to,"Contact Form from Wx4PPT",
"A visitor has left the following information\n
Name : $fullname 
Email : $email\n
The visitor commented:
------------------------------
$message

Logged Info :
------------------------------
Using: $HTTP_USER_AGENT
Hostname: $ip
IP address: $REMOTE_ADDR
Date/Time:  $date"); 
?>

Ok I got it to work! Now I am working on adding a carriage return so that the output doens't look bad.

Here is the code I figured that $msg is $message in PHP5

<?php
$message =$_POST['fullname'];
$message .=$_POST['email'];
$message .=$_POST['message'];

$to="support@weather4powerpoint.com";
$subject="Contact Form from Wx4PPT";
mail($to,$subject,$message,"From: Weather 4 PowerPoint Contact Page\nReply-To: $email\n");
?>

This is the output that I get
fullname
emailmessage

I want

fullname
email
message

[JazzMan_4_Jesus]

OK will do.. thanks

try this for form.php -

<?php
$fullname=$_POST['fullname'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$message=$_POST['message'];
$date = date("m/d/Y H:i:s");
$to="support@weather4powerpoint.com";

if ($REMOTE_ADDR == "") $ip = "no ip";
else $ip = getHostByAddr($REMOTE_ADDR);

mail($to,"Contact Form from Wx4PPT",
"A visitor has left the following information\n
Name : $fullname 
Email : $email\n
The visitor commented:
------------------------------
$message

Logged Info :
------------------------------

?>

[JazzMan_4_Jesus]
