Flash Mail Form unusual problem

[Cemondra]

My Problem:
I have a Flash Mail form, contact.swf, at SiteA that won't send me mail via SiteBmailer.php at SiteB

This is my SiteBmailer.php
<?php

$name = $_POST['sender'];
$mail = $_POST['email'];

$recipient = "mytest@test.com";
$message = "SiteA Visitor says:\n" . stripslashes($_POST['entry']);
$header = "From: $name <$mail>\n";

mail($recipient , stripslashes($_POST['subject']), $message, $header);
?>

This is Send button ActionScript
on (release){
if((subject == "") (sender == "")|| (entry == "") || (email == "")){
mailStatus = "Please enter information in all fields!"
stop();
} else{
lineSkip(); //Convert \r to \n for PHP
loadVariablesNum("http://www.SiteB.com/SiteBmailer.php", 0, "POST");
mailStatus = "Message has been sent!"
gotoAndStop (2);
}
}

The following works at SiteB, but not SiteA. However, forms needs to be at SiteA
<?php
mail("mytest@test.com", "Test Subject", "Test Message");
?>

This is what causes me to scratch my head:
I upload php to SiteB.
Browsing directly to SiteB.com/SiteBmailer.php will sends me a blank email.... That works, I assume php is fine.
Using the Form from my Hard Drive with Flash Player sends me a email... That Works, I assume actionscript/swf is fine.

With php at SiteB and Form at SiteA. I use form at SiteA but I DON'T get any email. I assume I need to setup cross-domain, but wait...

With php and Form at SiteB. I use form at SiteB but I DON'T get any email, even though swf and php in same domain.


I feel like my php and swf are coded fine, but what's missing? Any Help?

use LoadVars()!!!!! There is no end to the problems you'll see with loadVariables, my god is it horrible.

something like this is more like it


sendMail_LV = new LoadVars();
getResponse_LV = new LoadVars();

on (release)
{
if((subject == "") (sender == "")|| (entry == "") || (email == ""))
{
mailStatus = "Please enter information in all fields!"
stop();
}
else
{
lineSkip(); //Convert \r to \n for PHP
sendMail_LV.sendAndLoad("http://www.SiteB.com/SiteBmailer.php", getResponse_LV, "POST");
gotoAndStop (2);
}
}

getResponse_LV.onLoad = function(ok)
{
if (ok)
{
mailStatus = "Message has been sent!";
}
else
{
mailStatus = "Error sending message";
}
}



i dont know if that will clear up your problem, but at the very least use LoadVars() instead of loadVariables().

Thanks for the help. My Swf is communicating with the PHP and sending me mail. That symptom was fixed, but introduced some side effects. Mind you, I use actionScript mainly from a design point of view rather than development/back-end type stuff, so I just think my AS need some tightening up.

I changed my code according to falltimemusic's post. The only changes I made was putting all of falltimemusic's code within the on(release) handler.

Ok... I get email sent to me but regardless of what info I input, they are sent to me blank.

Location of my button code:
_root.content.mailForm.send

Location of my variables:
_root.content.mailForm

I know how to put variables into loadVariables() but not into the loadVars class.

I got everything working fine now. Thanks.
