There are problems with your quotes. You have directional (left/right) single quotes on the first few lines, but they need to be straight (non-directional) quotes. Make sure you are either using a plain text editor, or else turn off "smart quotes" if using a word processor (but you'd really be much better off using a text editor designed for editing software source code).

Also, you left off the closing quote on that line.

PS: If you use the

Thanks for your reply 🙂 to be honest I'm not really sure where Ive gone wrong Im not really php expert just know some things about it, Im more of a designer I just design websites and logos and so on...

This:

<?php

$your_company = $_GET[‘company’];
$your_name = $_GET[‘your_name’];
$your_phone = $_GET[‘phone’];
$your_email = $_GET[‘email’];
$your_message = $_GET[‘message’];

$recipient = ‘me@myemail.com;

$subject = ‘Someone has submited your form’;

$headers .= ‘Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1';

...needs to be changed to this:

<?php

$your_company = $_GET['company'];
$your_name = $_GET['your_name'];
$your_phone = $_GET['phone'];
$your_email = $_GET['email'];
$your_message = $_GET['message'];

$recipient = 'me@myemail.com';  // you left out second quote on this line

$subject = 'Someone has submited your form';

$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1';

Note the difference in the quotes: they need to be straight single or double quotes, not angled beginning/ending quotes.

Thanks NogDog all works like a dream now exept for 1 small problem when reciving email it comes up like this in my inbox

<html><head><title>Contact Form</title></head><body><br />Company: <b></b><br />Name: <b></b><br />Phone: <b></b><br />E-mail: <b></b><br /><hr /><br /><br /></body>

You might need to specify the Content-Transfer-Encoding

$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\r\n";

Use \n instead of \r\n if that doesn't work.

Additionally, check if your mail client supports html mails, which isn't alway the case.

I have tried that still same thing I jhave also changed the email addy to my hotmail account to test and in there its not showing html tags but instead its doing this

Company:
Name:
Phone:
E-mail:

so I recive the form buts its blank or empty any help guys please? Thanks for replyes so far by the way much apprishiated for all the help I'm getting

tsinka

Ok,

check the html code you posted in one of your last posts. The values are empty, too. So something might be wrong with the get parameters.

To test if the get parameters exist at all, add print_r($_GET); to the script. That prints the complete contents of the get array.

How does that script get called ?

The script gets called when submite button is clicked and where abouts u want me to add print_r($_GET); ? on which line or that does not matter?

tsinka

It doesn't matter, I'd add it to the very beginning of the php block.

Just to make sure ... you must use $POST instead of $GET if the method of the form is post.

Thanks for post back I have tried above method and still no luck 🙁 anymore help please?:bemused:

What happens if you call the script manually (including get paramters) with your browser ?

The request comes from a flash object, right ? I searched a little bit and I wonder if that flash code is correct (I'm not a flash expert).

I can't see the part in your flash code where you set e.g. the your_email variable. The examples I found use loadVariable(Num) in a different way. The arguments in your loadVariableNum call look like the arguments of a getURL call.

But as I said, I'm not a real flash expert...

Breez

Does this help ?

Ok,

that helped a lot 🙂

From what I saw I would test the following flash code for the submit button (the get part)

on (release)
{
_parent.getURL("processEmail.php","_blank","GET");
_parent.t1_2 = "Your full name:";
_parent.t2_2 = "E-mail address:";
_parent.t3_2 = "Your telephone:";
_parent.t4_2 = "Message:";
}

... assuming that you gave the four fields the "Vars" t1_2, t2_2, t3_2 and t4_2 in the field properties in the Flash editor.

In that case you should have $GET['t1_2'], $GET['t2_2'], $GET['t3_2'] and $GET['t4_2'] in the php script.

In the code above t1? and the $GET keys have to mach the names you typed in the Var field in the properties tab.

This is what I understood from the flash tutorial (and I think that loadVariablesNum("processEmail.php","_blank","GET");
just calls processEmail.php without GET parameters).

Breez

Thanks for the reply 🙂 I have tried that and its still sending me blank messages 🙁 any other sugestions where u think I could be going wrong ? Thanks for the help by the way 🙂

Breez

ok Problem Fixed This is the code for flash and for php if anyone is having same problems

My Flash Code looks like this

on (rollOver)
{
this.gotoAndPlay("s1");
}
on (releaseOutside, rollOut)
{
this.gotoAndPlay("s2");
}
on (release)
{
if (parent.t1 eq "" or parent.t2 eq "" or parent.t3 eq "" or parent.t4 eq "") {
stop ();
} else {
varSender = new LoadVars();
varSender.t1_2 = parent.t1.text;
varSender.t2_2 = parent.t2.text;
varSender.t3_2 = parent.t3.text;
varSender.t4_2 = parent.t4.text;
}
varSender.send("processEmail.php", "_blank", "POST");
}

And my processEmail.php looks like this

<?php

$your_name = $POST['t1_2'];
$your_email = $POST['t2_2'];
$your_phone = $POST['t3_2'];
$your_message = $POST['t4_2'];

$recipient = 'me@myemail.com'; // put your email addy here

$subject = 'Someone has submited your form';

$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\r\n";

$content = "<html><head><title>Breez Designs Contact Form</title></head><body><br />";
$content .= "Name: <b>" . $your_name . "</b><br />";
$content .= "E-mail: <b>" . $your_email . "</b><br />";
$content .= "Phone: <b>" . $your_phone ."</b><br /><hr /><br />";
$content .= $your_message;
$content .= "<br /></body>";


// The mail() function allows you to send mail.
mail($recipient,$subject,$content,$headers);

"Phone: <b>" . $your_phone .[/COLOR]

Good Luck everyone and thanks for the help 🙂
