Flash + Php Mailer

[ProneSnoopy]

Hello!

All of my variables show up in my email just fine. 😉 The only other thing that I'm having trouble with is the validation. I can submit the form without filling it out. I placed an alert on my flash form and I can't seem to get the validation to work. Please help! 😕

Php code:

<?php

if(!empty($_POST['firstname'])
	|| !empty($_POST['lastname'])
	|| !empty($_POST['phone'])
	|| !empty($_POST['email'])
	|| !empty($_POST['eventType'])
	|| !empty($_POST['hearCompany'])
	|| !empty($_POST['calendar'])
	|| !empty($_POST['clock'])
	|| !empty($_POST['place'])
	|| !empty($_POST['guests'])
	|| !empty($_POST['budget'])
	|| !empty($_POST['services'])
	|| !empty($_POST['comm'])
	|| !empty($_POST['other'])
	|| !empty($_POST['others'])

{

// 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'], 'calendar' => $_POST['calendar'], 'clock' => $_POST['clock'], 'place' => $_POST['place'], 'guests' => $_POST['guests'], 'budget_txt' => $_POST['budget'], 'services' => $_POST['services'], 'comm' => $_POST['comm'], 'other' => $_POST['other'], 'others' => $_POST['others']);

// Who should the email go to?
$to = "[e-mail]", "[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 .= 'Email:' . $data['email_txt'] . "\r\n";
$message .= 'Type of Event:' . $data['eventType_cb'] . "\r\n";
$message .= 'How did you hear about the company?:' . $data['company_cb'] . "\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['comm'] . "\r\n";
$message .= 'Other:' . $data['other'] . "\r\n";
$message .= 'Other:' . $data['others'] . "\r\n";
$message .= stripslashes($data['comm']) ."\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!

if (@mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
{
echo "output=sent";

}else{
	echo "output=error";
	}
}

?>

AS2 Code:

sendLoad.sendAndLoad("sendMail.php",receiveLoad,"POST");
receiveLoad.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}else if(receiveLoad.output=="error"){
Alert.show("The form is incomplete, please fill in the highlighted areas!", "Warning!");
}else{
}
Alert.show("There was a problem with the server. Please try again.", "Server Error");
}
}

The problem is in your actionscript code. 'success' will always have a value of true if Flash was able to visit your PHP page and get a response from it. Maybe try this?

receiveLoad.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
  if (success) {
    // examine data returned
    if (receiveLoad.output == "error") {
      Alert.show("The form is incomplete, please fill in the highlighted areas!", "Warning!");
    } else if (receiveLoad.output == "sent") {
      gotoAndPlay(2);
    } else {
      Alert.show("The response from the server was not properly formatted");
    }
  }else{
    Alert.show("The response failed, success is FALSE");
  }
} // fn

first build your IF condition well.

you're doing this:

if(
!empty($POST['firstname'])
................
|| !empty($POST['lastname'])
|| !empty($_POST['others'])

you should close the IF with a ")"
{

if firstname has a value but lastname is empty your mail will be sent becouse of the || operator. You should use the AND to be sure all the fields has been filled.
example from php.net)
$a || $b means TRUE if either $a or $b is TRUE.
