Flash + Php Mailer

[ProneSnoopy]

Hello! I'm new to coding with php. I have a flash form coded with AS2 and it works according to the trace statments. The problem I'm faced with is retrieving six variables from my flash form. All the other variables come back just fine. The six that don't show up are: Time, Date, Location, Other, Others and Comments. The variable names are: Clock, Calendar, Place, Other, Others and Messages, respectively. Please help!

Thanks!

Php Code:

<?php

// Every variable in a nice little array.
// Don't use name, message or state. These names are already defined in Actionscript. Be unique.

$data = array('firstname_txt' => $POST['firstname'], 'lastname_txt' => $POST['lastname'], 'phone_txt' => $POST['phone'], 'email_txt' => $POST['email'], 'eventType_cb' => $POST['eventType'], 'company_cb' => $POST['hearCompany'], 'date_box' => $POST['calendar'], 'clock' => $POST['clock'], 'location_txt' => $POST['place'], 'guests' => $POST['guests'], 'budget_txt' => $POST['budget'], 'services' => $POST['services'], 'message_txt' => $POST['messages'], 'other' => $POST['other'], 'others' => $_POST['others']);

// Who should the email go to?
$to = "[e-mail]";

// What's the general subject?
$subject = "Event Planning By Ebony";

// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set.

$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: ' . $data['firstname_txt'] . ' (' . $data['email_txt'] . ')' . "\r";

// Our final message:

$message = 'First Name:' . $data['firstname_txt'] . "\r\n";
$message .= 'Last Name:' . $data['lastname_txt'] . "\r\n";
$message .= 'Telephone:' . $data['phone_txt'] . "\r\n";

$message .= 'Date:' . $data['calendar'] . "\r\n";
$message .= 'Time:' . $data['clock'] . "\r\n";
$message .= 'Location:' . $data['place'] . "\r\n";
$message .= 'How many guests?:' . $data['guests'] . "\r\n";
$message .= 'Budget:' . $data['budget_txt'] . "\r\n";
$message .= 'Services Needed:' . $data['services'] . "\r\n";
$message .= 'Comments:' . $data['messages'] . "\r\n";
$message .= 'Other:' . $data['other'] . "\r\n";
$message .= 'Other:' . $data['others'] . "\r\n";
$message .= stripslashes($data['messages']) ."\r\n";
$message .= 'You can reply to this message by contacting ' . $data['firstname_txt'] . ' at: ' .$data['email_txt'] . "\r";

// Email that son of a gun!

Wow all the code and not one

 [code] or [code=html] bbcode wrapper.

If you could edit your post to include those bbcode wrappers it would make an answer much more likely.

Hello!

I'm not sure as to what you mean... please advise.

He means wrapping your php code in php bbcode tags (see the little php button above the edit window.) For example this is much easier to read:

I wrapped code bbcode tags around your as2 code.

[bretticus]

Call print_r on the php page to see what variables are coming through:

print_r($_POST);

[bretticus]

btw, not a flash developer here (wish I got more opportunities to use/learn it) but if you can't send the results of the php form back to trace debug, you can grab firebug for firefox and you'll be able to view what comes back from the flash call to the php page.

Thanks for the help! I finally figured it out. Flash and Php both were the problem. It feels great solving problems.
