Flash Form through PHP

programming flash
1

I am creating a flash form using PHP by following this tutorial…

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash_php_email.htm

I want few more things…in the body of the mail like phone, address. Please tell me what changes in PHP file will allow me to do this?

2

please help guys…tell me the changes required at add more fields.

3 
$headers .= "Phone: " . $_POST["phone"] . "
";
$headers .= "Address: " . $_POST["address"] . "
";

a break down^

. is the same as + in ActionScript

$_POST is the variable name the script is expecting.

"
" basically returns the line and starts a new line ( same effect as <br> )

make sure you enter “phone” and “address” into the var area of your respective dynamic text boxes

hope this helps…

// First, set up some variables to serve you in

$sendTo = "xyz@abc.com";
$subject = "Mail from me";

// variables are sent to this PHP page through

// header information not including sendTo and Subject
// these all go in one variable.  First, include From:

";
// next include a replyto
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "
";
// 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
$headers .= "Phone: " . $_POST["phone"] . "
"; 
$headers .= "Company: " . $_POST["company"] . "
"; 
$message = $_POST["message"];


// 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);

?>
