Flash/PHP form with text fields and checkboxes

[magoou2]

where to start! - i'm new to this!

ok. i am trying to create a form in flash that will post results to a nominated email address. the form contains some text fields and some checkboxes. Thus far i have got the checkboxes working, but my text field entries come thru blank. Also i am trying to make some text fields mandatory. at the moment if i hit submit it sends it anyway!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It would be easier if you could post your code for both the actionscript and the mailer.

thanks for replying

here is my actionscript.



stop();

_root.clear_butt.onPress = function() {
firstname="";
phone="";
mobile="";
email="";
address="";
time="";
}


var senderLoad:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var receiveLoad:LoadVars = new LoadVars();


_root.sender.onRelease = function() {
if (!email.length || email.indexOf("@") == -1 || email.indexOf(".") == -1) {
status_txt.text = "Invalid Email.";
} else if (!firstname.length) {
status_txt.text = "Missing Name";
} else if (!address.length) {
status_txt.text = "Missing Address";
} else if (!phone.length) {
status_txt.text = "Missing Phone";
} else {
senderLoad.email = email.text;
senderLoad.address = address.text;
senderLoad.phone = phone.text;
senderLoad.firstname = firstname.text;
}
if (_root.check_email.selected == true) {
senderLoad.check_email = "Yes";
} else {
senderLoad.check_email = "No";
}
if (_root.check_mail.selected == true) {
senderLoad.check_mail = "Yes";
} else {
senderLoad.check_mail = "No";
}
if (_root.check_phone.selected == true) {
senderLoad.check_phone = "Yes";
} else {
senderLoad.check_phone = "No";
}
if (_root.check_newspaper.selected == true) {
senderLoad.check_newspaper = "Yes";
} else {
senderLoad.check_newspaper = "No";
}
if (_root.check_direct_mail.selected == true) {
senderLoad.check_direct_mail = "Yes";
} else {
senderLoad.check_direct_mail = "No";
}
if (_root.check_agent.selected == true) {
senderLoad.check_agent = "Yes";
} else {
senderLoad.check_agent = "No";
}
if (_root.check_referral.selected == true) {
senderLoad.check_referral = "Yes";
} else {
senderLoad.check_referral = "No";
}
if (_root.check_visit.selected == true) {
senderLoad.check_visit = "Yes";
} else {
senderLoad.check_visit = "No";
}
if (_root.check_info_yes.selected == true) {
senderLoad.check_info_yes = "Yes";
} else {
senderLoad.check_info_yes = "No";
}
senderLoad.sendAndLoad("sendit.php", receiveLoad, "POST");
}

receiveLoad.onLoad = function() {
if (this.sentOk) {
_root.gotoAndStop("thank");
} else {
_root.gotoAndStop("again");
}
}




and here is my php bit


<?PHP

$to = "[e-mail]";


// These are your form's fields.

$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$mobile = $_POST['mobile'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$address = $_POST['address'];
$time = $_POST['time'];
$check_email = $_POST['check_email'];
$check_mail = $_POST['check_mail'];
$check_phone = $_POST['check_phone'];
$check_newspaper = $_POST['check_newspaper'];
$check_direct_mail = $_POST['check_direct_mail'];
$check_agent = $_POST['check_agent'];
$check_referral = $_POST['check_referral'];
$check_visit = $_POST['check_visit'];
$check_info_yes = $_POST['check_info_yes'];

// This is your formatted message.

$subject = "Cilento Penthouse Online Enquiry\n";
$message .= "----- Cilento Penthouse Online Enquiry -----\n\n";
$message .= "Name: $firstname\n";
$message .= "Phone: $phone\n";
$message .= "Mobile: $mobile\n";
$message .= "Email: $email\n";
$message .= "Address: $address\n\n";
$message .= "----- How would you like to be contacted -----\n\n";
$message .= "Email: $check_email\n";
$message .= "Mail: $check_mail\n";
$message .= "Phone: $check_phone\n\n";
$message .= "----- If phone what time -----\n\n";
$message .= "Time: $time\n\n";
$message .= "----- How did you hear about the Cilento Penthouse -----\n\n";
$message .= "Newspaper: $check_newspaper\n";
$message .= "Direct Mail: $check_direct_mail\n";
$message .= "Agent: $check_agent\n";
$message .= "Referral: $check_referral\n";
$message .= "Visit: $check_visit\n\n";
$message .= "----- Please send me further details on the Cilento Penthouse -----\n\n";
$message .= "More information: $check_info_yes\n";


$mailheaders = "From: $firstname <email>\n";

$sentOk = mail($to,$subject,$message,$mailheaders);


echo "sentOk=" . $sentOk;

?>

Have you tried unit testing? Set up a PHP script to read the data the flash is sending. Write a PHP script to POST data to the PHP Mailer.
