Hi. I have problems with a php script for a form; here is the code
Code:
<?
/* ****************************************************************************
*** $msg se rapporte aux variables placées dans le corps du message ***
****************************************************************************
*/
$msg = "E-mail from site XXX \n\n";
/* ********************************************************************************************
*** La chaîne Nom Expediteur est écrite dans le corps du message suivi de la variable $nom_expediteur. Idem pour les autres valeurs. ***
********************************************************************************************
*/
$msg .= "From sender: $nom_expediteur\n";
$msg .= "E-mail: $email_expediteur\n";
$msg .= "Subject: $sujet\n\n";
$msg .= "Message: $message\n\n";
/* *************************************************************
*** \n retourne * la ligne - \n\n saute une ligne ***
*************************************************************
*/
/* ****************************************************
*** N'oubliez pas de mettre votre adresse email ***
****************************************************
*/
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "$sujet";
/* *****************************************************************
*** Ecrit "E-mail depuis mon site" dans le champs "from"***
*****************************************************************
*/
$mailheaders = "E-mail from site XXX \n";
/* *****************************************************************
*** Ecrit l'e-mail de l'expéditeurdans le champs "Reply-To" ***
*****************************************************************
*/
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: $email_expediteur\n\n";
/* ******************************************
*** Fonction Mail - exécute le script ***
******************************************
*/
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);
?>
And here there's the fla attached. It is a fault of the fla, or of the script?
this kind of script used to work with php versions older than 4.1 - see thread "php does not work" starting in 2002
You want to add at least
Code:
<?
/* ********************
* get all data from request *
***********************/
$nom_expediteur = $_POST["nom_expediteur"];
$email_expediteur = $_POST["email_expediteur"];
$sujet = $_POST["sujet"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
next you probably should add
Code:
/* *******************
* this solves a problem with multi-line messages
*******************/
$message = ereg_replace("\r", "\n", $message);
/************************
* and this stops idiots from sending "cheap blue pills" mails
* via your server
*********************/
if(ereg("[\r\n]", $email_expediteur)) exit;
You might get crippled accented characters in the mail - flash player sends them utf-8 encoded and your mail program might expect iso-latin-1 if not told otherwise (it might be clever enough to auto-detect, too)
If this happens, you would need to either utf8_decode the message or add a content-type header to the others.
Hi Musicman, thanks for what you did so far. Moreover, the provider told me that the register globals on the domain was off (is this a related issue?).
Second: I see that you substituted POST for GET; should I substitute it in the fla too?
Last: I didn't understood how to:
"utf8_decode the message or add a content-type header to the others"
If you are sending the information as GET then you can replace all of his $_POST[] variables with $_GET[] variables (although I would recommend sending as POST)
utf8_decode is a PHP function that will translate the text into a different format (ISO-8859-1).
Well... er, sirs... can you please write down a simple php script and a little fla which validates email, subject, name and message (including also those utf8 decode/multiline/antispam whom you spake of)? That's all I want.
Tried on the net, but besides that damn script, nothing useful for my case; nothing useful here either (:-^
It will be really appreciated! I guess it will took 10 minutes for expert people; I'm stuck with that since feb 2! :-(

$nom_expediteur = utf8_decode($nom_expediteur);
$sujet = utf8_decode($sujet);

With that script you should see whether
- of course, you get mail at all
- accented characters arrive properly in the message text
- accented characters arrive properly in the subject
