Send a form from swf 1

[247138]

I need to send my contact form wich consists on 6 separate boxes with input text. I also have the 2 buttons: reset & submit I used the script provided by CMD 83 for purexenon [on key frame 1:
(depending on mailform you're using)
(on a keyframe)
USER = "your@email.com";
SUBJECT = "subject of the mail";
LINK = "

http://www.succesfulldelivery.com";

stop();

here you also make the form with var: varname
(so this appears in your mailbox)

on the submit button:

go to and play frame 2
here on a keyframe:
getURL("

http://home.tiscali-business.nl/cgi-bin/mailform",

"_blank", "POST");
stop();

put a thank you or sending... on this frame if you like

the person will get a pop-up with whatever you put on

http://www.succesfulldelivery.com

(this is the mailform from my provider, adjust if you have your own)] {here it's the entire messege, but i used it like he said}
but it doesn't work. on clicking "submit" another page opens [in my browser] with this adress:

http://csbmail.globalscape.com/cgi-...ctForm&LINK=http://www.succesfulldelivery.com

and the messege:

tlx_EmailTo Must Be A Valid Email Address

What did I do wrong?
PLS HEEEELP !!!!!
I'm a donkey on the edge!!!!!!

hmm
is the button inside the form MC (with all the textboxes)?

 

[247138]

yes it is.
But: [and i told u i'm not an expert] it doesn't have any behavior. Does it get it's behavior from the script of th first frame?
If so, why doesn' it send me to the next [or the third] frame? couse, when i hit submit, NOTHING happens.
try it your self, pls:

http://www.ovidiu.clax.ro

go on contact, and then the button from the right: TRIMITE
Hope will get through with it in the end.

 

[benny2168]

yea i see it doesnt do anything

your submit button gets behavior from this:

submit_btn.onRelease = function() {
...
}

so i do not think thats the problem, but lets test

find this code:

//actions for submit button
submit_btn.onRelease = function() {
    //import variables from each input box
    [highlight]sender_mail = email_txt.text;[/highlight]

insert a line below the highlighted part with this code

trace(sender_mail)

now press Ctrl+Enter and you will enter test mode

enter information into the textboxes and click submit

a window should pop up with something; it should look like this:

if it doesnt pop up then theres a problem

 

[247138]

it popedUp. Does this mean it's ok?

 

[247138]

OK. I uploaded it. It still doesn't send anything.
it still doesn't get to the next [or third frame].

 

[benny2168]

well the submit_btn behaviors should be working

try a different trace action:

find this line:

    //load variables to the php file
    [highlight]loadVariables("sendmail.php", this, "POST");[/highlight]
    //check to see if everything went A-OK
    onData = function () {

and add this trace action underneath the highlghted line

trace(sender_message)

and tell me what the popup message says (paste it here)

 

[247138]

1
User submitted message: <br> Name: 1<br> Email: 1<br> Company: 1<br> Address: 1<br> Tel/Fax=: 1<br> Message=: 1

this is the message inthe pop up. Still not working.

 

[benny2168]

ok
did you label the keyframes "error" and "success" like this:

and are both of these keyframes in the form MC (the same MC as the textboxes)?

 

[247138]

OK
I got the e-mail in my mailbox. Didn't move to the next frame though. WHYYYY. I'm half on the breaking point
Anyway, if u lost your patience, let's leave it 4 now [I can go on, no preoblem]. The form is working, sooo.
One more thing:

Subject: Contact: sdfg
From: "sdfg" <poiupo@server2.hostws.com> Add to Address Book
Date: Thu, 07 Jul 2005 02:34:32 +0300

User submitted message: <br> Name: sdfg<br> Email: poiupo<br> Company:
oipupoi<br> Address: iupoi<br> Tel/Fax=: upoiupo<br> Message=: iu

---------------------------
Mail sent by: sdfg <poiupo>


This is exactly how the message looks like in may yahoo mailbox. is it normal?

THANK YOU A LOT !!!! You're my saviour !!!

 

[benny2168]

Well, you can't know how happy i am right now

But unfortunately, i dont know how to make the message look better

See those <br>'s? those are supposed to be line breaks. If you turn on Rich Text Editor or something you might be able to see it like its supposed to:

Subject: Contact: sdfg
From: "sdfg" <poiupo@server2.hostws.com> Add to Address Book
Date: Thu, 07 Jul 2005 02:34:32 +0300

User submitted message:

Email: poiupo
Company: oipupoi

Tel/Fax=: upoiupo
Message=: iu

Well after 50 posts im glad we got it right somewhere!

 

[benny2168]

but just in case, check to see if you labeled the keyframe right (like i posted above) and see if it gets fixed

 

[247138]

well, 4 me it's good night. I don't know where you're from, but in Romania it's 3 o'clock. AM. I'm up since 5AM, so I worked 22 hours streight. So I have to get some sleep too. I'll get back to you with other things [this is a fact ], but some other time. Note that the subject will be: FOR benny2168. So u won't miss it.
THANK U again.

//check to see if everything went A-OK
onData = function () {
nextFrame();
if (output == 'error') {
gotoAndStop("error");
} else {
gotoAndStop("success");
}
};

I think there's something wrong here.
labels are:"error" and "succes". so it should work. But it doesn't.

 

[247138]

what other action script should i use for it to worK. Any ideea?

 

[247138]

i mean it doesn't even work if i erase the labels and put in script the numbers of the frames.

 

[247138]

one little issue:
can this [the response, positive or negative] come directly from the php server? I mean, coul te php file be modified in such ways, as to do that?
It's just an ideea. If it can be done, we'll do it like that. [probabely this will meean erasing th next 2 frames]

 

[247138]

I took this ideea from somewhere else. i know it' bitchy, but i'll post here the part of text that got my atention:

[This is the server side script :
<?php
$sendTo = "postmaster@blahblahblah.com";
$subject = "Website Inquiry";
$headers = "From: " . $_POST["name"];
$headers .= "<" . $_POST["email"] .">\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);
echo "Thank you for your submission. We will reply to your email as soon as possible";
?> ]

Of course, there was a reply:

[PHP Code:
$retMessage="&confirm=Thank you for your submission. We will reply to your email as soon as possible";
print($retMessage); ]

So, i hope u got it.
Thanks

 

[benny2168]

Well
the php file alredy has an echo function that looks similar:

    if(@mail($to, $subject, $body, $header))    {
         echo "output=sent";
    } else {
        echo "output=error";
    }

And im sure theres a way to show this in a new window, but I dont know enough php to say how.

Are both your error and success keyframes within your form MC (the same movie clip as the textboxes)?
