PHP 4.2.3 and flash simple email

[Rik_Peters]

I have been familarising myself with PHP uses with flash and this problem.

The script I have sourced is pre this version of PHP. I need to make some amendments.

I have a flash file and script and when submitting a recieve an email back but with out the variables. I know that php 4.2 and greater has a security feature which means that the script must be changed to recieve specific variables. But I don't get it just yet.

Any help will be much apprciated. A'm happy to pass on files so others don't suffer the same problem. Here is the script I need to change:

php -

<?
$ToEmail = "[e-mail]";

##$ToName = "YourName";
$ToSubject = "Example Mail";

$EmailBody = "Sent By: $FirstName\nSenders Email: $Email\nSenders Company: $Company\n\nMessage Sent:\n$ToComments\n\nSender Heard About Site From: $HearAbout\n";

$EmailFooter="\nThis message was sent by: $FirstName from $REMOTE_ADDR If you feel that you recieved this e-mail by accident please contact us at www.paperocket.com";

$Message = $EmailBody.$EmailFooter;

mail($ToName." <".$ToEmail.">",$ToSubject, $Message, "From: ".$FirstName." <".$Email.">");

Print "_root.Mail.EmailStatus=Complete - Your mail has been sent";

?>

Any help will greatly appreciated.

Let me get this straight. You want to know which variables to change to $_POST['var'], etc because register_globals is off?

I am not familar with older versions of PHP but I can't see how that script accepted variables from Flash. It seems to have predifined ones already. You need to check what variable names flash is posting to the php file. eg. if flash was posting variables 'to' and 'subject', then you recieve the variables in the PHP script. The way I would do this is.

$to = $POST['to'];
$subject = $POST['subject'];
etc...

and then use those values in the mail() function.

Thanks for your help guys.

register_globals is switched off and I have requested it switched on - do you think this is the only reason this script isn't working?

I will change the code and retry once register_globals is switched on.

Thanks again.

Mahers, in which version of PHP was the $_POST['var]' code available. I read somewhere it came about at version 4.1. I am having trouble with a server running 4.0.1

Regsiter_globals is set to ON.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
