Receiving Blank Emails from Flash Contact Form

July 1st, 2009, 8:08 pm

Please help, I've tried everything and can't figure this out
I created a contact form in flash and keep getting blank emails when I test it.

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

function clearField()
{
    theName.text = label1;
    theEmail.text = label2;
    thePhone.text = label3;
    theMessage.text = label4;
}//End of the Function
label1 = "Your Name:";
label2 = "Telephone:";
label3 = "E-Mail Address:";
label4 = "Message:";
countField = 4;
clearField();
var arrayLabel = new Array();
for (i = 1; i < countField + 1; i++)
{
    txtField = this["txtField" + i];
    txtField.index = i;
    arrayLabel[i] = this["label" + i];
    txtField.tabIndex = i;
    txtField.onSetFocus = function ()
    {
        if (this.text == arrayLabel[this.index])
        {
            this.text = "";
        }      // end if
    };
    txtField.onKillFocus = function ()
    {
        if (this.text == "")
        {
            this.text = arrayLabel[this.index];
        }      // end if
    };

65.         gotoAndStop(2);
66.     } // end else if
67. };
68. stop ();

and this is the PHP

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

<?php

$destination="email@server.com";
$name=$_POST['theName'];
$phone=$_POST['thePhone'];
$email=$_POST['theEmail'];
$message=$_POST['theMessage'];
$subject="Message from $name Online Inquiry" ;
$message="Name : $name\n
Phone: $phone\n
Email: $email\n
Comments: $message\n";
mail($destination,$subject,$message);
?>

1. <?php
3. $destination="email@server.com";
4. $name=$_POST['theName'];
5. $phone=$_POST['thePhone'];
6. $email=$_POST['theEmail'];
7. $message=$_POST['theMessage'];
8. $subject="Message from $name Online Inquiry" ;
9. $message="Name : $name\n
10. Phone: $phone\n
11. Email: $email\n
12. Comments: $message\n";

try loadVariablesNum

I've never been able to get loadVariables to work for me.

Also check this post for additional tips.
flash-forum/send-mail-via-php-using-flash-t83259.html?hilit=email

In the php script, It's also a good idea to test if your post variables are set as in my example there

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

<?
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {

$name = $HTTP_POST_VARS["name"];
$phone = $HTTP_POST_VARS["phone"];
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS["email"];
$message = $HTTP_POST_VARS["message"];
}

1. <?
2. if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
4. $name = $HTTP_POST_VARS["name"];
5. $phone = $HTTP_POST_VARS["phone"];
6. $email = $HTTP_POST_VARS["email"];
7. $message = $HTTP_POST_VARS["message"];
8. }

I wonder why people don't start using classes. Is much better since you can reuse them over and over again.
