I built a website in flash. I added a place where ppl can type a msg and click send and it would send that msg to my email simple enough right. Well then I learned that its a php script/file that i need to make it work. Now knowing nothing what so ever about php this is what I have.
<?php
$name = $_POST[‘Name’];
$email = $_POST[‘Email’];
$message = $_POST[‘Message’];
$name = stripslashes($name);
$email = stripslashes($email);
$message = stripslashes($message);
$rec_email = “[COLOR=#476c8e]test@test.com[/COLOR]”;
$subject = “Website Visitor”;
$msg_body .= "Name: $name
";
$msg_body .= "E-Mail: $email
";
$msg_body .= "Comments: $message
";
mail($rec_email, $subject, $msg_body);
?>
Well after I uploaded it and all the files that go with it it didnt work. I was told that I need to change the file attributes to 755. Well I tried that using cuteftp pro and there is no such option. Sooooo I called my host and basically said wtf and they said they dont support 3rd party scripts that i would have to use one of theirs. Well here it is
<form action=“gdform.php” method=“post”>
<input type=“hidden” name=“subject” value=“Form Submission” />
<input type=“hidden” name=“redirect” value=“thankyou.html” />
<p>First Name:<input type=“text” name=“FirstName” /></p>
<p>Last Name:<input type=“text” name=“LastName” /></p>
<p>E-Mail:<input type=“text” name=“email” /></p>
<p>Comments:<textarea name=“comments” cols=“40” rows=“10”>
Type comments here.</textarea></p>
<input type=“submit” name=“submit” value=“submit”/>
</form>
Now I have no clue how to change this or make it work in my flash movie because im no good with php. My host seems to think that the newbies can just take a code and make it work. I think they should change the attributes on the one that i know will work. Anyway if someone has been down this road with their host or can somehow work my php code into their php code i would greatly appreciate it. I say my code just for difference in this post. But no i didnt write it dont know who did and couldnt find them if i wanted too. The code came from a book that matches the form in my flash layout. Guys thanx for any help in this matter.
