I was running a basic form with Flash 8 and PHP 4.*.* so that customers could
email a client of mine. My clients web hoster has since upgraded to PHP 5.2.0
and the form has quit working. Does anyone know what changed in the new version
that would affect this script?



<?php
$to = 'someone@web.com';
$subject = 'Subject Line';

$message = 'From: '.$_POST['from']."\n\n";
$message .= 'Email: '.$_POST['email']."\n\n";
$message .= 'Address: '.$_POST['snail']."\n\n";
$message .= 'Phone: '.$_POST['phone']."\n\n";
$message .= 'Comments: '.$_POST['comments'];

$additionalHeaders = "From: Flash feedback<feedback@example.com>\n";
$additionalHeaders .= "Reply-To: $_POST[email]";

$OK = mail($to, $subject, $message, $additionalHeaders);

if ($OK) {
echo 'sent=OK';
}
else {
echo 'sent=failed&reason='. urlencode('There seems to be a problem with the
server. Please try later.');
}
?>

that means the form was running properly before they upgrade?
what type of error you get? or just nothing?

may be the php configuration, refer: http://www.php.net/mail

I am guessing that it is in the script passing variables from flash to php that
is having problems... since the variables are not being passed the mail script
cant be executed... post the other scripts involved so we can take a look

The other script worked fine on the older version of PHP. I've used these exact
two files (PHP and SWF) on another server and they work. Something changed with
PHP 5.2.

function checkForm():Boolean {
var missing:Boolean = false;
error1_txt.text =
error2_txt.text=error3_txt.text=error4_txt.text=error5_txt.text="";
if (name_txt.text == "") {
error1_txt.text = "*";
missing = true;
}
if (email_txt.text.indexOf("@") == -1) {
error2_txt.text = "*";
missing = true;
}
if (subject_txt.text == "") {
error3_txt.text = "*";
missing = true;
}
if (comments_txt.text == "") {
error4_txt.text = "*";
missing = true;
}
if (hear.selectedItem.label == "") {
error5_txt.text = "*";
missing = true;
}
return missing ? false : true;
}
function sendMessage():Void {
var formOK:Boolean = checkForm();
if (formOK) {
message.from = name_txt.text;
message.email = email_txt.text;
message.subject = subject_txt.text;
message.comments = comments_txt.text;
message.school = school_txt.text;
message.hear = hear.selectedItem.label;
message.sendAndLoad("email.php?ck="+new Date().getTime(), messageSent);
gotoAndStop("sending");
}
}
function backToForm():Void {
gotoAndStop("theForm");
}
var message:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var messageSent:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
messageSent.onLoad = function() {
if (this.sent == "OK") {
gotoAndStop("acknowledge");
} else {
gotoAndStop("failure");
failure_txt.text = this.reason;
}
};
gotoAndStop("theForm");
