Flash Form and PHP

Thanks in advance for any help. The hosting company my
customer is using has PHP5 and my old scripts do not work with the
new host. I was however able to get a PHP5 script working. But the
problem is the script is sending 2 emails, 1 Filled out and 1
blank.
Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this script?
Thanks again.
Mike.

could you be a little more specific?

Flash form and Database integration using PHP

One of the simpleest ways to Flash forms and data components
to interact with a MySQL Database is with the use of PHP scripts.
These scripts can be the intermediary between the Flash form and
the MySQL Database. There are some
FREE Tutorials available at
http://www.interactivewebconcepts.com
I hope this helps.

I think i found your problem.
It's a Syntax Error here you should use . instead of ,...
[code]
Subject",$CompanyName
[/code]
this should work.
[code]
Subject".$CompanyName

AS2 contact form and php - works fine but only sends half of the text in the comments field ???

hi all - i have an AS2 contact form using php to send the info to my email address - it all works fine except this ..... rather than having an empty comments box in the flash movie i had added a whole bunch of feedback questions that the user can comment yes/no to in the comments box (my feedback questions were added into the input text box in cs3 so are there when the user opens the contact page .. i have set the maximum characters to 10000 so no worries that its that that is stopping it all coming through in the email ..... basically when i go to my form online and send it i get it through as an email but with only three quarters of the feedback text in it ...... i have tried a zillion ways a round this, tried other contact forms and php and always end up with the same problem ... any ideas any one ?
this is the AS....

?>
any help much appreciated

i think you should not use $HTTP_USER_AGENT.
and use loadvars instead of loadvariablesnum:
stop();
a =0;
function validate () {
    if (from.length>=7) {
        if (from.indexOf("@")>0) {
            if ((from.indexOf("@")+2)<from.lastIndexOf(".")) {
                if (from.lastIndexOf(".")<(from.length-2)) {
                    a = 1;
                    // email is fine
function formcheck () {
    validate ();
    trace(a);
    if (fname = "" or telno eq "" or comments eq "" or from eq "") {
        stop();
        error = "You have left blank fields, please fill in all fields, thank you";
    } else {
        emailcheck ();
var sendLV:LoadVars=new LoadVars();
function emailcheck (){
    if (a != 1){
        stop();
        error = "Email address not valid";
        } else {
sendLV.name=fname;
sendLV.telno=telno;
sendLV.company=company; //assuming company is a variable in your flash
sendLV.comments=comments;
sendLV.send("mail.php3", "POST");
        gotoAndStop(2);
//..........this is the php
<?php
$adminaddress = "[email protected]";
$sitename = "Flash Site Form Mailer";
$from=?;//you need to define this variable
$name=$_POST['name'];
$telno=$_POST['telno'];
$company=$_POST['company'];
$comments=$_POST['comments'];
$body=
"A customer at $sitename has made the following enquiry\n

mail($adminaddress,"Info Request",$body);

Flash Forms and Checkboxes

I'm creating a Flash Form and I have a group of 4 checkboxes,
and the value part of the input statement is as follows:
<cfif
Isdefined('Form.whatever1')>1<cfelse>1</cfif>
<cfif
Isdefined('Form.whatever2')>1<cfelse>1</cfif>
<cfif
Isdefined('Form.whatever3')>1<cfelse>1</cfif>
<cfif
Isdefined('Form.whatever4')>1<cfelse>1</cfif>
But when I submit the record, all of the checkboxes are
recorded as "1", even if none of them or some of them are checked.
Has anyone developed a flash form with checkboxes and experienced
similar issues?
Thanks...

Oh, forgot to mention that I used the same code in a
"regular" form, and it worked. Just curious as to if this is a
known Flash Form problem

Flash Forms and onchange

OK, I need help. I've just started using flash forms, and I
love them. But, I have a problem. In this example I have cfinput
boxes a, b, and c. After the user adds data to a and b, I use
javascript to subtract b from a and insert the value into c, using
onchange="subtractme();" in the b tag. Problem is, the form never
loads. What am I doing wrong?
<script language="javascript">
function subtractMe1() {
document.cool.c.value=Math.round(document.cool.a.value -
document.cool.b.value);
</script>
<cfform name="cool" format="flash">
<cfinput type="text" name="a" width="60" >
<cfinput type="text" name="b" width="60"
onChange="subtractMe1();">
<cfinput type="text" name="c" width="60">
</cfform>

On Linux or Unix, you may need to create a symlink to cfide
directory as CFIDE (case sensitive) in your web directory. Have
your host issue the following command.
ln -s /path/to/web/dir/cfide CFIDE
Additionally, Firefox 1.5 loads Rich Flash forms fine on my
OSX running Panther 10.3.9.

Never seen such an error, but if it's in the status bar of the browser then it shouldn't be Flash problem. You can check what's happening in your swf by creating a dynamic text field and setting it's text in every major action, that is: requesting PHP and getting back response, to what's just happened.
So, on the Flash side you can see whether the browser error stops the PHP script and immobilizes further actions.
What I'd do is create a new Flash file and PHP file and just send 1 variable to PHP, change it somehow and send it back to Flash and print it in a text field. That way you can check whether it's the method you're using to request PHP or just PHP or something else. Step by step adding complexity and checking on which of these steps the error occurs.
I wish you good luck.
Ps. It's probably a very rookie problem, we just don't know the source.

PDF forms and PHP

Hello!
I've build a PDF Form and, after extending it with Reader Extension, tested it sending form data to a PHP file, where info is being retrieved via $_POST.
The idea is to save the info in a database.
It worked, but it also opens the php file in the browser; I don't want this to happen, all I want is to save the data and that's it.
I used an http submit button from the objects panel.
What do I do to solve it? Should I use Javascript to make it work the way I want?
Thank you for any hints.
Marcos

Can you write a PHP Web Service and consume the data? Thereby you can suppress opening the PHP file in a browser.

Data Communication between flash 8 and php (facebook)

I do have knowledge on php and flash 8. But it is my first
time in trying to analyse the facebook architecture and have to
admit I am a bit confused. Ok I have figured out the communication
part between php and facebook but I failed to understand the
communication when flash 8 comes into the picture.
1) Client logins in to facebook (Client PC -> Facebook
Server)
2) Client click on my game application and waits (Client
Request->Facebook Server->My Server)
3) My php script checks for client audentication using
facebook params and load flash 8 application to client PC via
facebook iframe OR FBML (My Server (.php) -> My Server (.swf)
-> Facebook (Iframe or FBML) ->Client PC)
4) Client starts to play.
----------> Ok step 1 to 4, I know how to do it. But it is
this following that I am confused.
5) Client make some changes in the flash 8 application (For
example: He is preparing for an invasion and have included total
soldiers needed and generals needed and click 'invade') and click
the button to save the datas to my server. The problem here is how
to do this while ensuring $fb_params is consistent?
(a) Can I just use sendandload via POST and my php side will
received the POST data as usual($_POST['soldiersneeded'])? Or do I
miss out anything?
(b) Can I use amfphp as usual so as to prevent the
application from refreshing itself everytime it loads in the new
data?
Hope there is a facebook expert who could explain to me in
regards to this problem. Please do take note that I am using flash
8 and not CS3 or CS4. Thanks in advance and have a nice day
everyone! ^_^

Have you read this manual?

Flash Forms and Eolas Fix

Has anyone seen a workable fix with regard to the Eolas
problem. For those unfamiliar, I'm referring to the box around all
Flash content requiring the user to click before they can interact
with the form.
I'm particularly interested in the fix for Flash Forms in
ColdFusion. I have MX7 installed. I have a JS script for
movies...but to date, nothing works for Flash Forms.

Have you tried CFMX 702 updater? That has a fix for EOLAS
issue.

CF Flash Form and CFGRID

Hello,
I'm trying to create a page CFFORM flash page where the
cfgrid will display results base on a start and end date. The user
selects these 2 date. I am able to create this on 2 seperate pages,
but I would like it to be on 1 page via the flash remoting method.
Can some please help or point me in the right directions.
Thanks,

Hi-
I copied your form code and submitted the variables back to
that page, and got no error, for what that's worth. My guess is
that the prob. might be in the page you're submitting to rather
than in the form itself?

Flash banners and PHP...

Hey Flash ppl... LOL, I have a nice flash banner I did for my
gaming clans website. The issue is that it reload everytime anyone
goes to a new topic, post something or does anything that reloads
the page. Is there a script out there that I can place to get
around that? I know PHP is different then HTML... so I don't know
if there's a work around? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
http://www.shadowops.org/Forums/index.php

Hi James,
That is one awesome looking banner! Good job!. I think you
hit the key about multiple platforms making one single page. You
noticed that when the page reloaded the flash reloads. This is
normal. One trick to get around that is by using a PHP equivalent
of an <IFRAME></IFRAME> in your php code. You develop a
way to reload the Iframe rather than the whole page. Or you could
go back to the older days and use the <FRAME> tag and only
reload the frame element.
Another way would be to develop an entire site in flash and
you only play the elements that need data to change. I am sure
there are other ways but this is a quick way out.
Again, great job on the banner!

(technical info tab)
each text field has a Var: Name, email, and company
i've used the CheckBox component
i;ve placed the fallowing code on the submit button
on (release) {
if (!email.length || email.indexOf("@") == -1 ||
email.indexOf(".") == -1) {
EmailStatus = "Please enter a valid E-mail address";

Javascript and Flash Forms

I am trying to do some Javascript with a Flash Form and it is
failing. I have a field with a value in the field name so I dont
have to use labels. I know with Javascript that onFocus, the field
will clear. Is that possible in a Flash Form.
Don

Use actionscript, like so
<cfinput type="Text" name="txt_box" value="Initial Value"
onFocus="txt_box.text=''">
For readability the onFocus is
" txt_box.text = ' ' "
