"Form-to-Mail script for Flash website"

I’m building a Flash website and am having a problem making a form-to-mail script work. Following text input, the submit button is supposed to link with a PHP script. I’ve uploaded this to the server and placed it in the htdocs folder rather than the cgi-bin. Nothing happens when the button is clicked.

I doubt if there’s any reason why the Freeola server would reject the script, so I can only assume I’ve written it wrongly. With only three fields (Name, Company, Email) it should be fairly short and I’m wondering if anyone out there can give me a sample of the basic code. I’d very much appreciate some help.

Here's my latest code following JimTheDog's suggestion. I'm afraid it still doesn't work.

$fn= $_GET["fn"];
$sn= $_GET["sn"];
$t= $_GET["t"];
$c= $_GET["c"];
$email= $_GET["email"];
$to = "motivationalspeaking.co.uk";
$subject = "Motivational Speaking Enquiries";
$body = "Forename: $fnnSurname: $snnTelephone: $tnE-mail: $emailnComments $c";


mail($to, $subject, $body, 'From: [email protected]','-f [email protected]');

?>

Thanks JimtheDog

I'll certainly give it a try.

Hi Ardee,

I've checked your syntax against my own code and notice you have missed the 'From: ' part of the from address. I remember Freeola changing this a while ago to prevent auto-mailers (I think) - a quick check of the Freeola help & support shows the syntax for your mail() should be:

mail($to, $subject, $body, 'From: [email protected]', '-f [email protected]');

Give it a shot.

Hi

I've stripped the php file right down to basics and I'm still having problems. I'd appreciate it if you had a look at it and let me know if there's something amiss. Thanks.

$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Motivational Speaking Enquiries";
$body = "Forename: $fnnSurname: $snnTelephone: $tnE-mail: $emailnComments $c";






mail($to, $subject, $body, '[email protected]','-f [email protected]');

?>

Ok, no problem!

There's lots of tutorials on Flash and how to make typical necessities like contact forms so you should find what you need without too much trouble.

You'll almost never be the only person with a particular problem (of any sort..!), so it's always worth a search on Google for what you're after.

Let me know if you need any further help :)

Thanks for your reply. I'll follow your Google link before coming back to you. In other words, I'll try to sort it myself without bothering you. Thanks again.

Hey

You will need to supply a bit more information first before we can help you fully. Is your site live for us to have a look?

Please post the code (Actionscipt) that is on your Flash button, and the PHP script that you are using to send the mail :)

Thanks!
