You're in the
flash actionscript
group:Ok i have tried everything, someone please help
flash actionscript:
an email being sent out to a php script. For some reason it is not capturing the vars from the fields and sending them to the script. Also i dont want for the page to be called up and shown in the browser. I tryed in the send function to say "email.php", dataSender, "POST" and also "email.php", 0, "POST" but what happens is that the PHP script is not getting the data at all with that even though its not calling it in the browser. can someone take a look at my FLA file and see what i am doing wrong so i can study what you are saying? Here is my script i have now....... My field VARS are named as follow name, companyName, webAddress, email and comments function sendForm () { my_lv = new LoadVars (); my_lv.name = _parent.name.text; my_lv.companyName = _parent.companyName.text; my_lv.webAddress = _parent.webAddress.text; my_lv.phone = _parent.phone.text; my_lv.email = _parent.email.text; my_lv.comments = _parent.comments.text; my_lv.send ("email.php", 0, "POST"); } submit_btn.onRelease = function () { if (name.text == "" || email.text == "") { alert_txt.text = "Please complete the entire form ..."; } else { _root.gotoAndStop(55); alert_txt = ""; sendForm (); } };
Ok i changed what you asked for me to do. And still i am getting the same
responsed. Which is no VARS are being passed through to the PHP script..... Now if you know PHP somewhat this is what i am saying on that side.. <?php $to = "office@patter****esign.com"; $subject = "Company E-Form"; $name = $_POST['name']; $companyName = $_POST['companyName']; $phone = $_POST['phone']; $webAddress = $_POST['webAddress']; $comments = $_POST['comments']; $email = $_POST['email']; mail($to, $subject, "<html><body><p>$name has just sent you an email.</p>","<p>Name:$name</p><p>Company:$companyName</p><p>Phone Number:$phone</p><p>Web Address:$webAddress</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Comments:$comments</p><p>&nb sp;</p><p> </p><p>From: $to</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>This email service was brought to you by <a href='patterso*******gn.com'>Patterson Enterprise</a></html></body>"); ?> Is there a way i can send you the .fla of the file??
Unfortunately, I don't know PHP so I can't help you there. I would suggest
using sendAndLoad() (reference http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/a ctionscript_dictionary435.html). That way, you can use flash to see if you get a response. Try echoing back the same vars and tracing them in flash. I just saw those errors which is why I spoke up. Sorry I can't be of anymore help. Hope you solve your problem.
just for fun try:
submit_btn.onRelease = function () { if (name.text == "" || email.text == "") { alert_txt.text = "Please complete the entire form ..."; } else { sendForm (); // <-- Note this change! _root.gotoAndStop(55); alert_txt = ""; } };
ok i have done what you said and still the same thing. And i have an echo for
the alert text to come on if no one fills out the form. So can someone look at the .fla .... Now its not very big in space.... its only 10.8 KBs
your reference to _parent is incorrect. all those variables are defined on the
same timeline as my_lv. try: function sendForm() { my_lv = new LoadVars(); my_lv.name = name; // name is undefined. insert a variable associated with that input field my_lv.companyName = companyName; my_lv.webAddress = webAddress; my_lv.phone = _phone; my_lv.email = email; my_lv.comments =comments; my_lv.send("email.php", "POST"); }
Ok changed the script and thanks for your help but still with the same
response. does the .fla from that look ok? and also do you have PHP on your server to run a script or do you know PHP. but i dont think its from the PHP side since i have looked into that side already. i was reading on another tutorial and it said that if you go to a thank you frame out of the actions ( logic ) layer the information would not be sent due to the fact it is out of the frame for the code before it processed it is that true? if not tell me if you see something else wrong with the file ( i have made the changes you asked for already. )
your fla file should work without problem if you made those corrections. you
can always execute a trace(my_lv.name) etc to make sure your loadVars object has those variables defined. what happens in your php file i can't say. i don't use php and so am unable to help you with that end.
ok i think i found what you were talking about. I ran the movie then i went to
debug droped down to list vars... and this is what i got ( as errors ) if this is what you were not talking about please help on that but here is what it said... Level #0: Variable _level0.$version = "WIN 6,0,21,0" Variable _level0.sendForm = [function 'sendForm'] Variable _level0.name = "thomas" Variable _level0.email = "office@pattersonwebdesign.com" Variable _level0.my_lv = [object #2, class 'LoadVars'] { name:"thomas", companyName:"patterson enterprise", webAddress:"listingnowebsite@none.com", phone:"555-555-5555", email:"office@pattersonwebdesign.com", comments:"hello" } Variable _level0.alert_txt = Variable _level0.companyName = "patterson enterprise" Variable _level0.phone = "555-555-5555" Variable _level0.webAddress = "listingnowebsite@none.com" Variable _level0.comments = "hello"
Yes my PHP file is being called and it is sending out the email but it is not
caturing the VARS when i get the email it does not have any of the data. The PHP is fine nothing wrong on that end.... but as far as you know the FLA is perfect?
yes, the fla with the changes isn't the problem. are you sure you want single quotes in your php file:
$name = $_POST['name']; shouldn't that be: $name = $_POST[name];
Well see it needs some type of quote cause just like the first VAR in the php
script.. it has to be captured.. such as $to = "patterson*****ign.com"; same as $to = $_POST['website']; or $_POST["website"]; that is how it captures it.......
