Flashmatic form

hey guys...
I am trying to work with a flash feedback form that i got from here: http://www.flashmatics.co.uk/ .. everything is working, except i need to add a few more fields - which i did in the flash file. but how can i get those fields to show up i the email. currently only the feedback field shows up in the email.

thanks for your help!

Hi,

you see this code:

Actionscript Code:

sendData_lv.name = name_txt.text;
sendData_lv.email = email_txt.text;
sendData_lv.feedback = feedback_txt.text;

Just add another line with your own variable, for example:

Code:

---

sendData_lv.example = example_txt.text;

---

Notice the emphasized example variable. Open your .PHP file, and to use your sent information, use this syntax:

$_POST['variable_name']

where variable_name is the variable name you declared, in this case, it's example, then the code would look like this:

$_POST['example']

Now, use that wherever you want in the PHP file :)

Hope this helps ;)

i have already done that...but did not work.

flash:
sendData_lv.name = name_txt.text;
sendData_lv.email = email_txt.text;
sendData_lv.how = how_txt.text;
sendData_lv.phone = phone_txt.text;
sendData_lv.feedback = feedback_txt.text;


php:
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$how = $_POST['how'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$feedback = $_POST['feedback'];
$subject = 'Message from Client';
$headers = "From: $name <$email>\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $name <$email>\n";


//ENTER YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS HERE
$to = '[email protected]';
//---------------------------


$success = mail($to, $subject, $feedback, $headers);
if($success){
echo '&sent=OK';
}else{
echo '&sent=Error';
}
?>

It's not working because you are never sending the other received variables to your email :p

$feedback = $_POST['feedback'];

only this one is being sent, since it's the actual message in the mail that is being sent. Just add other stuff to it, and remember that . (a dot) in PHP is the equivalent to + (plus) in Flash, so for example:

PHP Code:

---

$feedback = "Name: " . $name . "\n" . "How: " . $how . "\n" . "Phone: " . $phone . "\r\n" . $_POST['feedback'];

\n means linebreak

thanks

Umm, something called testing it online after uploading it to your server, because it won't work offline :p

lol i did bro...i'm not that stupid lol

nah, you're not, but I tried it online and it worked for me :p

really eh...like i said it works for me, but only the message field shows up...

Then have you tried re-uploading the new PHP file (or replacing it with the other one) in your server?
