Help with php i'm a noob

djadisan

Hy guys, i'm in deep ..... i'm trying to build a flash webpage for my sister , and i just downloaded the template ( i don't know much just flash ) , and now i have the whole page done and ready , in the folder i have flash , 1contact ( ASP ) , 1 contact (PHP) a index ( i know what it is ) , and CSS style ( i know that two ) .

My Question is where do i need to put my email so that the "clients" cand email me.

THIS IS CONTACT.PHP

<?

Error_Reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
$subject="from".$REQUEST['Your_Name:'] ;
$headers= "From:".$REQUEST['Your_Email:'] ."\n";
$headers.='Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1';
$message='';
while ($field = current($REQUEST)) {
if ((key($REQUEST)!="Your_Name:") && (key($REQUEST)!="Your_Email:") && (key($REQUEST)!="i")) {
$message.="<strong>".key($REQUEST)."</strong>   ".$field."<br>";
}
next($REQUEST);
}
mail($_REQUEST['recipient'], $subject, "
<html>
<head>
<title>CORREO BISUTERIA</title>
</head>
<body>
<br>
".$message."
</body>
</html>" , $headers);
echo ("Tu mensaje ha sido enviado. Gracias!");

?>
<script>
resizeTo(300, 300);

</script>

THIS IS CONTACT.ASP

<%
for i=1 to 7
message=Request("message")
next
message=message + Request("message")
smtpServer = "smtp.aol.com"
smtpPort = 25

	name = Request("Your_Name:")
	Set myMail = CreateObject("CDO.Message") 
	myMail.Subject = "from " & name
	myMail.From = Request("Your_Email:")
	myMail.To = Request("recipient")
	myMail.HTMLBody = "<html><head><title>Contact letter</title></head><body><br>" & message & "</body></html>"
	myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
	myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = smtpServer
	myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = smtpPort
	myMail.Configuration.Fields.Update 
	myMail.Send

$_REQUEST['recipient'] for PHP, and looks like a similar variable in the ASP script.

Oh, and welcome to PHPBuilder!

Also, don't call yourself a "noob" ... people might not answer your posts, hee hee. 😃

Example for PHP:

//old
mail($_REQUEST['recipient'], $subject, "

//new
mail("you@mailhost.com", $subject, "

Welcome to the forums, djadisan. You can help us to help you by putting your code snippets inside of [noparse]

...

[/noparse] bbcode tags. It's much easier to read than a bunch of red, unformatted text. 😉

djadisan

hey guys thank you for the warm welcome , but i still have the problem i've put my email in the RECIPIENT marker but nothing happends , as i said i'm a total idiot with php. if someone can rewrite the code or something like that , i'll be more than happy. As i said i'm ZERO in php . Hope u can help me. 😕😕

Ok, for starters, change this first line:

<?

to this:

<?php

djadisan

done ... can u "teach me" i'm a fast learner. php ? basics ? for this form ? i'll take notes u know something like .

"·&& -- is a function
31u231 - is a blabla

P.S. I'M DESPERATE:xbones::xbones:

sneakyimp

you can define a [man]function[/man] using the word 'function':

function my_function($input) {
    return 'your input was ' . $input;
}

Unlike Actionscript 3, PHP lets you send any variable anywhere -- it doesn't do rigid type checking.

Variables in PHP start with a dollar sign. The $REQUEST variable these guys refer to is what is called a superglobal. There are a few of them (search php.net for superglobals). For example, $GET contains variables supplied in the query string to your page. For instance, if I visit http://site.com/script.php?my_var=some+value then in my file script.php I can do this:

echo 'my var has a value of ' . $_GET['my_var'];

$_POST is similar but you have to build a form with method=post and action=script.php.

$REQUEST is a merge of $GET, $POST, and $COOKIE and can be really convenient to use because it checks several of the various ways you could supply a value to a php script.

djadisan

thanks for the help .. i'll try and learn , i want to and i need to , i need the damn form ... can u tell me what changes do i need to do or how can i recode it ?

sneakyimp

If you read the code in the PHP script, you'll see that it refers to numerous $REQUEST variables:
$REQUEST['Your_Name:']
$REQUEST['Your_Email:']
$REQUEST['recipient']

So minimally your form should probably have those form inputs on it. Something like this:

<form method="post" action="contact.php">
  <input type="text" name="Your_Name"> Name<br>
  <input type="text" name="Your_Email"> Email<br>
  <input type="text" name="recipient"> Recipient<br>
  <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form

You could put pretty much any other fields you like in your form and this part will stitch them all up into the email.

while ($field = current($_REQUEST)) {
  if ((key($_REQUEST)!="Your_Name:") && (key($_REQUEST)!="Your_Email:") && (key($_REQUEST)!="i")) {
    $message.="<strong>".key($_REQUEST)."</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;".$field."<br>";
  }
  next($_REQUEST);
}

This code is at risk for become a spam relay because
a) you send the email to whoever is specified in 'recipient'. I could write a script to post your script a billion times and send all kind of spam
b) you fail to validate any of the incoming email addresses to there is enormous potential for abuse. consider using [man]filter_var[/man].

Lastly, you mentioned Flash. This HTML form isn't going to do you much good if you have built a form in flash.

djadisan

this is the webpage .... http://marlacoco.webuda.com/ ... i'm searching desperatly for a php o actinonscript 3 script to make the contact work ...

sneakyimp

I'll bet you can find one easily if you google it. I've seen dozens of them.

djadisan

did that but no results 🙁 tried in other language as well nothing yet...

sneakyimp

This is the first result if you google "as3 php mailer"

djadisan

i'm from spain so i don't have the same results on google. .. 🙁 that helped me alot thanks but i have a problem it's returning to email :

your_name adisan&777&Your Name:
your_email 654444689&777&Your Email:
message asasdasda&777&Message:
recipient adisan_pl@hotmail.com
siteowner 1

i understand that &777& it's like a error....but not an error

sneakyimp

I have no idea what that output is from. It would be helpful to see some code. Please be sure to use the code formatting tags.

djadisan

the code is from actionscript and php together

MY ACTIONSCRIPT

rec="my email here";
serv="php";

var fields_descriptions= Array ("",
Array("t1", "your_name"),
Array("t2", "your_email"),
Array("t3", "telephone", "Telephone:"),
Array("t4", "message"),
Array("t5", "field_2", "E-mail:"),
Array("t6", "field_3", "Address:"),
Array("t7", "field_4", "fax:")
);

for (i=1; i<=fields_descriptions.length; i++) {
this["k"+i].text=fields_descriptions[2];
}

THE PHP Is THat from the 1st PAGE

sneakyimp

All your code does is take the values you define in the fields_descriptions array and put the 3rd element into a text field (which I assume is in your flash movie).

Your actionscript makes no effort at all to speak with your PHP script.

djadisan

if i delete contact.php it doesen't work ...so it must be chained ? guess ?

sneakyimp

Did you read my comment? The actionscript you posted doesn't make any effort to interact with your php file.
