Email PHP in flash

Hello flash experts,
I purchased a started flash template for my site and all is
done except I cannot figure out how to use the email.php form
within the site. On one of the pages that was already created I
have a form with things to enter such as name, email, etc.. When I
purchased the package it came with a email.php file that I believe
is used to send the form anwsers to my email address. I opened the
php file in Opera (in my mac) and saw that there are a few names to
change. I changed these so the email would email to my address but
it is not working. I am not sure if there is something I am missing
or if I am supposed to do something else with the php files? Any
help would greatly be appreciated. here is the code with the
email.php
<?
$destination="[email protected]";
$name=$_POST['name1'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$company=$_POST['company'];
$from = '[email protected]';
$phone=$_POST['number'];
$mes=$_POST['message1'];
$subject="Message from $name" ;
$header="From: $from\n";
$mes="Name: $name\n
Company: $company\n
Email: $email\n
Phone: $phone\n
Comments: $mes\n";
mail($destination,$subject,$mes,$header); ?>
and the form on my flash page asks for
NAME
EMAIL
ETc...
Thanks for the help!!!
Matt

thanks kglad
what is the
$from = '[email protected]';
do I write my email there as well?
I see the the loadvars class is used in the flash page.
Is there anything wrong with the php code I listed above???
I just upload the php file to the server correct?
Thanks again for your help
Matt

Contact Form with Email PHP not working?

Hello !
Here is a link to my contact form:
http://bayareafacepainters.com/quote_face_painting.html
Here is the tutorial I am following to set up the Form to Email PHP
http://www.freecontactform.com/email_form.php
My form is not working. It is not sending me the email, and the "Thank you for contacting us page" is not showing up either. Is this a simple fix? I am not an expert coder, any help on what I am doing wrong or missing would be helpfull!

Thank you for the suggestions... I cleaned up the names, and so I guess I am supposed to match the names in the form to the PHP, so I changed the PHP to reflect the names of the fields in the form... it seems there may be more areas where I need to do this... What else does this need to work properly?

Using PHP with Flash (contact form)

I am trying to get a contact form on a flash site to work and
for some reason the PHP isn't forwarding the message to my email.
Below is the flash code I have used as well as the document I have
saved as contact.php. Thank you so much for the help. This is the
last thing I need to complete for the site and I just can't seem to
get it right. Thanks.
Flash Code For the Submit Button:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
if (this._currentframe<this._totalframes) {
this.nextFrame();
} else {
if (this._currentframe>1) {
this.prevFrame();
on (release) {
this._parent.getURL ("contact.php","_blank","GET");
this._parent.name = "Your Name:";
this._parent.email = "Your Email:";
this._parent.phone = "Your Phone Number:";
this._parent.text4 = "e-mail:";
this._parent.message = "Your Message:";
Here is what I have for Contact.php:
<?php
$your_name = $_GET['name'];
$your_email = $_GET['email'];
$your_phone = $_GET['phone'];
$your_message = $_GET['message'];
$recipient_email = "[email protected]";
$subject = "from " . $your_email;
$headers = "From: " . $your_name . "<" . $your_email .
">\n";

$content .= "Name: " . $your_name .

$content .= "E-mail: " . $your_email .

Your message was sent. Thank you.
</div>
</body>
</html>
<script>resizeTo(300, 300)</script>

well...that's true..I wanted "name" to be cleared when
clicked...this version I found doesn't clear "name" when clicked,
but it needs selected and erased manually...anyway..it's better
then nothing...
Reason I want this is because I'm using a design that is not
giving me much space and I have to trick the low space with this
option.
If you want I can send you the fla to get a better
picture...I believe you deserve it :)

Send info. to email address in Flash

Hi
I'm creating a site that must contain a page where the user
must enter their email address which is then forwarded to the site
owner's email address.
They must enter this to access a certain section of the site.
I've only been able to find a tutorial that shows you how to
send info. to an email address that the user inputs themselves.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Use the LoadVars and send method which sends variables to a
server side
script (CFM, PHP, ASP, CGI or Perl) which processes the email
and then sends
it to the correct location.

PHP and Flash

Hi,
I need to display a Username in a Flash Banner in my website. The Site is PHP and the header is made in Flash. My requirement is that, when a user Logs in, his name should be displayed in the Top of the site (in the Flash banner here) like "Welcome User". Is it possible ? I have the PHP file which displays username. All I need is that to merge it to the flash banner (through actionscript, isnt it ?)
Please help me

Passing variables from PHP to Flash

I have a contact form that works. The user enters their info,
hits submit, and their info is emailed to me. I need to figure out
how to have the PHP script send back a confirmation that the email
was actually sent. I can't get the php to echo just a "yes" or
"no". Here is what I have so far:
Flash code to bring in PHP variable to notify user if mail
has been sent or not:
function receive_response(e:Event):void
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(e.target);
var email_status = new URLVariables(loader.data).success;
if(email_status == "yes")
status_txt.text = "Success! Your message was sent.";
timer = new Timer(500);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, on_timer);
timer.start();
else
status_txt.text = "Send failed! Please email or call us";
and here is my entire PHP Code. The code in bold at the bottom
is where it is supposed to pass the "yes" or "no" as the variable
success
<<meta http-equiv="content-type"
content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
<?php
// Create local PHP variables from the info the user gave in
the Flash form
$senderName = $_POST['userName'];
$senderEmail = $_POST['userEmail'];
$senderMessage = $_POST['userMsg'];
// Strip slashes on the Local variables
$senderName = stripslashes($senderName);
$senderEmail = stripslashes($senderEmail);
$senderMessage = stripslashes($senderMessage);
$to = "info@*******.com";
// change this to reflect your site
$from = "contact@*********.com";
$subject = "Contact from ***********.com";
//Begin HTML Email Message
$message = <<<EOF
<html>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
Name = $senderName 
Email = <a
href="mailto:$senderEmail">$senderEmail</a> 
Message = $senderMessage 
</body>
</html>
EOF;
//end of message
$headers = "From: $from\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$to = "$to";
if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
echo “success=yes”;
else
echo “success=no”;
exit();
?>

Email image from flash

I created an email form in my swf. It emails text from input
fields. I want to also include an image with the text. Does anyone
know how to do that?

So first you must use BitmapData to export the data from
flash to some picture file with for example php is good.You can use
BitmapData.draw(Target) and after that to store all the pixels into
array and send to php there must generate new image file.I
recommend to use POST method because the array of pixels is too
long and when you dont have access to the php.ini file to change
the max send data for get the server send errors.Okey now i stop to
talk and i give you link to .fla file because is too long to
explain.This file is my project that you can get picture from the
camera and save into the server is simply application and i think
you can understand the chifly idea.So when you create your
application u must add some lines into php that send the picture
and message to email. Link to fla. -
http://www.nikis.org/BitmapData.Draw.zip
The other way that i already say you is to upload file with
FileReference
LiveDocs
FileReference.And afcource the php see in this site into
comments very useful things about attachment and send via html
PHP Mail() Function
btw i forgot i have small problem with the colors sometimes
the new saveed picture has more green color.But i think this can
script can explain the idea :)
cheers!

Communication PHP with Flash

Hi,
Is it possible :
- from PHP page to pass parameters to Flash (SWF) file ?
- from Flash (SWF) file to retrieve parameter to PHP page ?
i'm asking that because i would like to do the following
things :
- in my PHP page, user will select interface language and
automatically
the flash should turn all text strings (located inside the
flash) into
selected language.
- Flash animation should be able to retrieve variable value
from
PHP/HTML in order to use them like : read/save from/to
database postgresql.
thanks a lot,
A.

Hi Alain,
It most certainly is. This ability has been around for quite
a while and
Flash/PHP work well together. I happen to specialize in
Flash/PHP/MySQL
integration (though I'm faimiliar with PostGRE as well). It's
not complex or
difficult but a bit lengthy for the forum. Drop me a line and
I can give
you more concrete exampled: patrick (AT) baynewmedia (DOT)

Communication problem MYSQL PHP XML Flash.

I have driven myself into a corner with this so I hope someone here knows a solution.
I am building a photogallery with a simple html layout but with a flash slideshow.
The data for each album and photo are stored in a mysql database. Each photo-image is in one big folder on the server. With PHP I sort out which photo belongs to what album and display them accordingly. To start the slideshow people can click on a link near the album, this link will send a < href> with the album ID to an PHP file (xml.php) that will generated an XML output created from the MYSQL server. Here comes my problem:
Loading XML into flash is no problem BUT I only know how to do this with a static or self supporting XML output. (xml.php needs the input of the album ID else it will not get the correct data). For now I have a temporary solution where I write the XML output from xml.php to a txt file and let Flash read from there, but is there a way where I can read directly from xml.php?

Echo your formatted xml out as a string in xml.php, Flash will then read your dynamically generated XML.

Email link in Flash CS5 and how to bold typeface...

Hi, total flash newbie here with a few questions:
1.) I'm trying to put an email hyperlink in part of my text, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I tried the code snippets, click to go to web page but instead of an URL I typed "mailto:[email protected]" but when I tested it, nothing happened.
2.) How do I link to the other pages from within the website that I'm working on? Again, I'm a total newbie and I'm only familar with Dreamweaver.
3.) Lastly, how do I bold the typeface??? The text tool properties do not show any bold, italic, or underline icons, and the hotkey to bold is the break apart command.
4.) When I test my movie, how come I can't scroll down and see the footer area of the SWF??
If there's someone on these forums that could help me with these problems, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Sending variable value from php to flash to load an xml file

I would like to load an XML file from the location locally or on the server being unaware of the name of the file. I am using PHP for sending the filename to Flash.
The below is the PHP code:
<?php
filesInDir('C:\Documents and Settings\457305\My Documents\shrikant\Flash Tutorials\webassist');
function filesInDir($tdir)
 $dirs = scandir($tdir);
 foreach($dirs as $file)
 if (($file == '.')||($file == '..'))
 elseif (is_dir($tdir.'/'.$file))
 filesInDir($tdir.'/'.$file);
 else
 echo "fileName=$file";
?>
And below is the loading Actionscript code:
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLVariables;
stop();
// Define the PHP file to be loaded
var phpFile:String = "http://localhost/webassist/test.php";
var cons_xml:XML;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
// Specify dataFormat property of the URLLoader to be "VARIABLES"
// This ensures variables loaded into Flash with same variable names
xmlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(phpFile));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
function processXML(evt:Event):void
 trace(evt.target.data.fileName);
 //cons_xml = new XML(evt.target.data.fileName);
 //gotoAndPlay(2);
When I trace the evt.target.data it displays "fileName=mainOpenEndedXML%2Exml" and when I trace evt.target.data.fileName the fileName is properly displayed as "mainOpenEndedXML.xml".
But in the next two lines where the loading occurs it does not load the file i.e the swf file from xml doesn't play.
I have been searching the Internet for answers but not able to find any solutions.
The loading works properly if i directly insert the xml file in the code and the swf's in the XML file play propertly. The below is the code for the same:
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLVariables;
stop();
var cons_xml:XML;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("mainOpenEndedXML.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
function processXML(evt:Event):void
 cons_xml = new XML(evt.target.data);
 gotoAndPlay(2);
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

Yes. you already said that, but I guess you don't understand what I said. You are loading the PHP fle to get the filename, but nowhere are you taking that filename and loading the file that was named.
You need to do two loading operations. The first one to get the filename, and the second to load the file with that name. Maybe if you name the PHP file loader phpLoader instead of xmlLoader it will start to make more sense to you. Something like the following...
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLVariables;
stop();
// Define the PHP file to be loaded
var phpFile:String = "http://localhost/webassist/test.php";
var phpLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
// Specify dataFormat property of the URLLoader to be "VARIABLES"
// This ensures variables loaded into Flash with same variable names
phpLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
phpLoader.load(new URLRequest(phpFile));
phpLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processPHP);
function processPHP(evt:Event):void
 var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
 xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(String(evt.target.data.fileName)));
 xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
var cons_xml:XML;
function processXML(evt:Event):void
 cons_xml = new XML(evt.target.data);
 gotoAndPlay(2);

Need help with php and flash

Hi,
hopefully anyone can help me out here I am working on a site
that has part flash and html in it. I am using php to dynamically
pull in the flash files from an includes folder. In doing so I have
uploaded everything to our preview server where I tested the site.
It works in firefox but not in the ie browsers, I thought this had
to do with active control, so I downloaded the extension but
nothing happened, still it works in firefox and not ie either 6 or
7. t
click
here to view the site I am working on. If you have suggestions
please let me know. I have attached the code as well for one of the
flash animations.
Thanks

Looking at the source of your page, I note that you missed a
couple lines in the AC_FL_RunActiveContent embed. These 2 lines go
in the head of the page.
<script language="javascript"> AC_FL_RunContent = 0;
</script>
<script src="AC_RunActiveContent.js"

puzzled at how to get started on this.
I want to enable my client to upload changes to the XML file
used on his site without knowing anything about XML. He also wants
to upload images which are referenced in the XML. So, I am assuming
that I create a form that allows him to type in changes to sections
and select an image on his local drive and submit it to a PHP
script on the server which will, in turn generate/update the XML
and upload the image(s).
Is this correct or am I going about it the wrong way? Of
course, I should just tell him he'll have to pay me to update the
site. ;-) I'm really confused about how to start this whole thing
in the planning stage. I just need a little direction then I can
research the rest.
thanks!

are you making this admin interface in flash then? personally
I would
steer clear of that as it will be harder to debug - doing it
in HTML
will be much more straightforward, and if you do it right you
can change
to using a flash front end in future.
Handling file uploads in PHP is a little tricky but there are
loads of
good pages of advice on using PHP on the web. Here's a good
place to
start as there's lots of notes by other users:

XML with PHP I have only done once - and I think that was
just reading
it and not writing it. Should be OK though, again, lots of
help
available online!
