PHP script not returning data, please can you help

[DougieMcN]

Hi, I've set up a form in flash which will send data to a PHP file on my web space, which in return will return the data from the textfields to my e-mail address. I know PHP is enabled on my web server because I tested it and it's OK.

Please can anyone check my PHP script below to see if I am missing something that would cause my e-mails not to be returned (I'm new to PHP).

The PHP script is below (I've put the Actionscript code as well in-case someone notices something there)

I have tested this in an HTML page on my web server but no response from my form is received.

Thanks in advance.

PHP script...
<?php

$to = 'me@myemailaddress.co.uk';
$subject = 'Request';

$message = '';
$message .= "\n";
$message .= "Name: $fullName";
$message .= "\n\n";
$message .= "Address: $fullAddress";
$message .= "\n\n";
$message .= "Postcode: $postcode";
$message .= "\n\n";
$message .= "Tel: $telNumber";
$message .= "\n\n";
$message .= "E-mail: $emailAddress";

$sent = mail ($to, $subject, $message);
?>

Actionscript code...
stop();

var fullName:TextField;
var fullAddress:TextField;
var postcode:TextField;
var telNumber:TextField;
var emailAddress:TextField;

fullName.restrict = "A-Za-zÁáÉéêíÍãõç ";
fullName.maxChars = 40;

fullAddress.restrict = "0-9A-Za-zÁáÉéêíÍãõç!?.+\- ";
fullAddress.maxChars = 90;

postcode.restrict = "0-9A-Za-zÁáÉéêíÍãõç!?.+\- ";
postcode.maxChars = 10;

telNumber.restrict = "0-9A-Za-zÁáÉéêíÍãõç!?.+\- ";
telNumber.maxChars = 20;

emailAddress.restrict = "0-9A-Za-zÁáÉéêíÍãõç!?.+\- ";
emailAddress.maxChars = 50;

function sendEmail(fullName, fullAddress, postcode, telNumber, emailAddress)
{
var myData:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

myData.fullName = fullName.text;
myData.fullAddress = fullAddress.text;
myData.postcode = postcode.text;
myData.telNumber = telNumber.text;
myData.emailAddress = emailAddress.text;
}


this.submitButton.onRelease = function()
{
if (fullName.text == "" || fullAddress.text == "" || postcode.text == "" || telNumber.text == "")
{
gotoAndStop("error");
}

else

{
sendEmail();
gotoAndStop("correct");
}

myData.sendAndLoad("iopost.php", myData, "POST");
};

$sent = mail ($to, $subject, $message, "From: me@domain.com\r\n");

Hi, thanks for the reply.

It looks as if my PHP scripts seems to be working (although I could be wrong being new to PHP) because when I point to it in a browser window I get an e-mail sent to me but only the headings are there.

Name:
Address:
etc...

The information from the textfields in the SWF file are not being captured.

I think I may have to post in the flash section but thanks for your help, and the speedy reply.

I you feel this may still be a PHP problem please post any thoughts if you can and I'll keep a lookout for any info (I've put my latest script below just in-case).

<?php
$to = 'me@myaddress.co.uk';
$subject = 'Request';

$message = '';
$message .= "\n";
$message .= "Name: {$_POST['fullName']}";
$message .= "\n\n";
$message .= "Address: {$_POST['fullAddress']}";
$message .= "\n\n";
$message .= "Postcode: {$_POST['postcode']}";
$message .= "\n\n";
$message .= "Tel: {$_POST['telNumber']}";
$message .= "\n\n";
$message .= "E-mail: {$_POST['emailAddress']}";
$sent = mail ($to, $subject, $message);
?>

Thanks.

echo out the values of the global variables as a debug.

echo "<pre>";
echo "POST vars <br/>";
print_r($_POST);
echo "GET vars <br/>";
print_r($_GET);
echo "</pre>";

this will tell you whether the right values are even making it to the server.
