Frustrating Enquiry PHP form in Flash CS3

nialler

Hi Guys

First off I've very little programming experience, especially PHP but doing a 2 pager flash site for a friend of mine, all movies/buttons etc are working fine and I have a comment/email enquiry form on page 2 (scene 1, frame 1) and a thank you on frame 2 (all codes etc work fine).

Now to the PHP bit (this code was taken from a sample on the net that works perfectly when downloaded and subsequently uploaded to my website with the accompanying email.php file)

I have set up a movie titled "form" with 5 text input fields with vars as follows (name, phone, email, area, enquiry)

There is a code on the submit button as follows:

on (release) {
// send variables in form movieclip (the textfields)
// to email PHP page which will send the mail
form.loadVariables("email.php", "POST");
}


I've got the following code on the form movie to bring you to the thank you frame:

onClipEvent(data){
// show welcome screen
_root.nextFrame();
}

And finally the email.php code (obviously I've change the recipient's email address)

<?php
/***************************************************\
* PHP 4.1.0+ version of email script. For more
* information on the mail() function for PHP, see
* http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
\***************************************************/


// First, set up some variables to serve you in
// getting an email. This includes the email this is
// sent to (yours) and what the subject of this email
// should be. It's a good idea to choose your own
// subject instead of allowing the user to. This will
// help prevent spam filters from snatching this email
// out from under your nose when something unusual is put.

$sendTo = "nialler@myownwebsite.ie";
$subject = "Website Enquiry";

// variables are sent to this PHP page through
// the POST method. $_POST is a global associative array
// of variables passed through this method. From that, we
// can get the values sent to this page from Flash and
// assign them to appropriate variables which can be used
// in the PHP mail() function.


// header information not including sendTo and Subject
// these all go in one variable. First, include From:
$headers = "From: " . $_POST["name"];
$headers = "<" . $_POST["email"] .">\r\n";
// next include a replyto
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
// often email servers won't allow emails to be sent to
// domains other than their own. The return path here will
// often lift that restriction so, for instance, you could send
// email to a hotmail account. (hosting provider settings may vary)
// technically bounced email is supposed to go to the return-path email
$headers .= "Return-path: " . $_POST["email"];

// now we can add the content of the message to a body variable
$message = $_POST["phone"];
$message = $_POST["area"];
$message = $_POST["enquiry"];

// once the variables have been defined, they can be included
// in the mail function call which will send you an email
mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);

?>

Works perfectly for the sample that I downloaded, won't work at all when I incorporate it into my own flash website, I've checked the code tons and tons of times but doesn't seem to be doing anything.

Any help would be appreciated, even a simple mailto: at this stage would be great.
