which i believe needs to be fixed as register_globals is off on my server. Could someone let me know how to do this.
Thanks.

if you need it, my php info is at http://www.laurentobia.com/phpversion.php

Hi All,

Can someone please help me out

been stuck on trying to solve this issue for a while now and cant figure out why it isnt working.

As the Point of this whole thread is about PHP not recieving variable from flash, i thought this would be the best place to put it!

The Variables are assigning correctly in flash but when passing them to PHP nothing is in the $_POST array

Here is my flash code and PHP

[Flash Code]var msg:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var TScore = "465";
var TName = "Testing"
msg.nName = nName.text;
msg.score = Score.text;

phpResult.text = msg.toString();

msg.send("WebsiteAddress.php","_parent","POST");[/Flash Code]

PHP Code:


<html>

<head>

<title>Basic PHP</title>

</head>

<body>

<?php

    $link = mysql_connect("localhost", "blah", "blah");

        if(!$link) {

            // no database link, handle appropriately

    } else { // we have db, lets continue!

            $result = mysql_select_db("awm_eq264145", $link);

                if(!$result) {

                    // no db selection, handle appropriately

                } else { // we have our db, lets continue!

$query = "INSERT INTO assignment (Name, Score) VALUES ('" .$_POST['nName']."','". $_POST['score']."')";

                     if(mysql_query($query,$link)){

                    //if the query was successfully sent, get the number of rows

                    $rows_affected = mysql_affected_rows($link);

                } else {

                    printf("<pre>");

                    print_r($_POST);

                    printf("</pre>");

                    printf($query);

                    printf("bollox didnt work");

                    }

                }

        }

?>

Can someone please point out where the bloody hell i am going wrong please, its doing my head in!

Hi,

flash should look like

var msg:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
msg.TScore = "465";

msg.send("WebsiteAddress.php","_parent","POST");

Hi there,
I have an email form movie with a php script which works perfectly as a standalone swf.
The problem arise when I import the form into my website movie and make it a movie symbol, which I subsequently drag into another page and at this stage the form stops working. Must be something simple I have overlooked.
Any ideas? Help appreciated.

Hi,

this sounds very much like the old loadvariablesnum with level 0 or _root as a target.
Once your movie works with loadvariables and relative target (this, _parent) or a loadvars object, it should work by itself and as part of a bigger movie

**jappe** · 05-30-2007, 02:39 PM

Thanks for the reply!
What I have is the following:

on (release) {
sender_mail = _root.Semail.text
sender_name = _root.Sname.text
sender_subject = _root.Ssubject.text
sender_message = _root.Smessage.text
loadVariables("sendmail.php",this,"POST");

this.onData = function()
{
for(var a in this) trace([a,this[a]])

_root.nextFrame();
if(this.output=='sent')
{
_root.errTitle = 'Thank You.';
_root.errType = "Your message has been succesfully sent.";
} else {
// else
_root.errTitle = "Error!";
_root.errType = "Attention, an error occurred while processing your message. Please try again later.";
}
}
}

Funny that it works on it's own though!
Is there such a thing in flash that you cannot place a movie symbol within another movie symbol for the php script to work? Simply asking because it seems odd for it work when in a standalone, but not when imported.

Thanks again!

Hi,

are you sure your text fields are still in the _root?

Musicman

**jappe** · 05-31-2007, 10:55 AM

You may well have a point there Musicman!
As I have trawled the net for a solution, I understand that there is a common problem attached to the use of _root and that _root infact is regarded as poor practice.
With regard to my example above, is there any way to re-write the code to avoid _root ?

Thanks again!
Jan

**jappe** · 05-31-2007, 03:21 PM

That did the trick! Simply replaced all _root with _parent and "hey presto"!
Thanks again Musicman!

Best Regards

had the same exact problem

**wsmith1979** · 01-22-2008, 03:41 AM

not sure if this is the right post to get some help with this but my flash isnt communicating with my php file for sending email from flash

Code:

var sendData_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var receiveData_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var formValidated:Boolean;
var errorMessages:Array = new Array();

receiveData_lv.onLoad = function():Void{
	trace(this.sent);
	if(this.sent == "OK"){
	 message0_txt.text = "Thank you for your Request, I will be intouch with you shortly";
	}else{
	 message0_txt.text = this.sent;
		}
}


submit_btn.onRelease = function() {
	//this clears the error text field if they have been populate previously
	clearTextFields();
	errorMessages.length = 0; //empty the array so next time the submit button is clicked the array is not already populated
	formValidated = checkForm();
	if (formValidated) {
	//the form is valid and so now we can send details to our PHP file
	//populate LoadVars object with the field values
	sendData_lv.name = name_txt.text;
	sendData_lv.email = email_txt.text;
	sendData_lv.phone = phone_txt.text;
	sendData_lv.request = request_txt.text;
	//trace(sendData_lv.email);
	//trace("valid");
		sendData_lv.sendAndLoad("email1.php"+new Date().getTime(), receiveData_lv);
	} else {
		//populate textfields with the error messages
		for (var i = 0; i<errorMessages.length; i++) {
			 _root["message"+i+"_txt"].text = errorMessages[i];
			  trace(errorMessages[i]);
		}
	}
};


function checkForm():Boolean {
	//check whether the name field is empty
	if (name_txt.text == "") {
		errorMessages.push("Please enter your name.");
	}
	if (email_txt.text == "") {
		errorMessages.push("Please enter your email address.");
	} else if (email_txt.text.indexOf("@") == -1 || email_txt.text.indexOf(".") == -1) {
		errorMessages.push("Please enter a valid email address.");
	}
	if (request_txt.text == "") {
		errorMessages.push("Please enter Request information");
	}
	//if at this point the array is empty i.e has length 0, then this in effect means the form has passed all checks
	if (errorMessages.length == 0) {
		return true;
	} else {
		return false;
	}
}


function clearTextFields():Void {
	for (var i = 0; i<errorMessages.length; i++) {
		_root["message"+i+"_txt"].text = "";
;
	}
}

PHP Code:


<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$request = $_POST['request'];
$subject = 'Request from your website';
$headers = "From: $name <$email>\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $name <$email>\n";


//ENTER YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS HERE
$to = 'myemail@myemail.com';
//---------------------------


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

Okay, I can't figure out why this isn't working. I'm trying to send an e-mail from my flash site, and it acts like it's going through, but I'm not getting any of my test e-mails.

Here is my AS:

PHP Code:


stop();

send_btn.onRelease = function() {

    my_vars = new LoadVars();

    my_vars.sender = email_box.text;

    my_vars.subject = subject_box.text;

    my_vars.message = message_box.text;

    if (my_vars.sender != "" and my_vars.subject != "" and my_vars.message != "") {

        my_vars.sendAndLoad("email.php", my_vars, "POST");

        gotoAndStop(25);

    } else {

        error_clip.gotoAndPlay(25);

    }

    my_vars.onLoad = function() {

        gotoAndStop(26);

    };

};

email_box.onSetFocus = subject_box.onSetFocus=message_box.onSetFocus=function () {

    if (error_clip._currentframe != 1) {

        error_clip.gotoAndPlay(6);

    }

};

And here is my PHP.

PHP Code:


<?php



$subject = $_REQUEST["subject"];

$message = $_REQUEST["message"];

$sender = $_REQUEST["sender"];



$full_message = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . "\n\n" . $message;

$message= $full_message;



$message = stripslashes($message); 

$subject = stripslashes($subject); 

$sender = stripslashes($sender); 



$subject = "Contact form ". $subject;



if(isset($message) and isset($subject) and isset($sender)){

mail("tom@tomartin.net", $subject, $message, "From: $sender");

}

?>

What am I doing wrong?

**Musicman** · 02-13-2008, 01:39 AM

Hi,

can you just upload this php file and view it in browser?

Code:

<?
mail("tom@tomartin.net", "test message", "just a test", "From: webserver@tomartin.com");
echo "mail sent...";
?>

If you do get the mail, then there might be a problem with your movie. If you dont get it, you should ask the server staff for assistance

Okay, I uploaded just the that php file, and it showed up in the directory, so when I clicked on it, nothing happened. No e-mail, or anything. I take it I need to talk to the server staff now?

**Musicman** · 02-14-2008, 01:35 AM

Hi,

it did not even say "mail sent" then?
Could this be a windows server with unconfigured mail function?

Musicman

**momtartin** · 02-16-2008, 11:13 PM

Here is all that shows up:
http://www.tomartin.net/php.php

Should I have renamed the php file "index" instead?

**Musicman** · 02-17-2008, 03:34 AM

Hi,

probably write the file again, with as simple a program as possible (e.g. notepad on windows) that does not add
<title>Untitled Document</title>
by itself or convert every < to <

Musicman

**momtartin** · 02-17-2008, 02:56 PM

Such as this?
