Kirupa form tutorial problem

1

Hi everyone!
:wt:
I’m having a problem with getting the form to send e-mails. I used the Kirupa’s form toturial as a reference. The thing is that when I test it on my PC I get the message that the form was sent, although i never get anything in my mail box (don’t know if it’s just because it’s on my PC). But when I upload it and test the form it won’t send anything, or even display the sent message for that matter. Is the problem on my script? My server? My e-mail accounts?

The form swf is actually loaded into a movieclip called container onto my main swf. Could this be a problem?

Here’s my A.S. for my “form” movieclip which is a part of my Form.swf file:

onClipEvent(data){
 _root.container.nextFrame();
}

This is for my “send” button, it’s external to the “form” movieclip just like the tutorial:

on (release) {
 _root.container.form.loadVariables("email.php", "POST");
}

And for my “back” button, and it’s external to the “form” movieclip like the one obove:

on (release) {
 _root.container.prevFrame();
}

And here’s my PHP:

<?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 = "[EMAIL="myemail@address.com"]myemail@address.com[/EMAIL]";
$subject = "My Flash website message";
// 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["firstName"] ." ". $_POST["lastname"] . "<" . $_POST["email"] .">
";
// 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
$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);
?>

Can anyone give me some directions on what might be wrong?

Any help would be welcome!!!
Thank you!!!
Cheers!!!:beer:
