PHP form emailing more information the I wanted

programming
1

Hi I first posted this problem in the Flash MX forum, because thats the version of Flash I’m exproting this site/form as, and I figured the problem was proabably more related to Flash then the PHP script I’m using…

But I got no replies at all, and won’t in the future due to my post being shoved into the back pages (who’d find it there?)

So I’m hoping the people (you) who keep an eye on the PHP forum might have an answer for me.
(sorry for reposting, I hate doing it but… I need help)

I’ve been using a Flash/PHP combination for several of my sites thats worked for me so far.

THe latest form I built however, sends more information then I asked form.

For example:

I fill out the form, name, email, phone number and message.
Hit submit, get feedback, get a nice message saying email sent. Works fine there.

I recieve the email, look at it, and I see text like:
This Message has been sent from: <TEXTFORMAT LEADING=“2”><P ALIGN=“LEFT”><FONT FACE=“Avian” SIZE=“14” COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING=“0” KERNING=“0”>Lem</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>

All I wanted was the name…
Any idea what might be the cause of this?

The code on the submit button is:

on (release) {
    loadVariablesNum("emailform.php", "0", "POST");

        gotoAndStop(2);
}

The PHP Script looks like:

<?
$ToEmail = "me@myemail.com";
##$ToName = "Lem";
$ToSubject = "Contact Form";
$EmailBody = "-Contact Form-


This Message has been sent from: $contact_name

Their Contact Phone Number: $contact_phone

E-mail: $contact_email

Their Message:

$contact_message






";
$EmailFooter="
This message was sent by: $contact_name from $REMOTE_ADDR";
$Message = $EmailBody.$EmailFooter;
mail($ToName." <".$ToEmail.">",$ToSubject, $Message, "From: ".$contact_email."");
Print "_root.pages.contact_page.formstatus=Your message has been sent.";
?>

I don’t see anything unusual about the input text fields, and I’m not sure what to do about fixing this.

I’m using Flash 8, but I published the Flash movie in Flash 6.
(Problem is the same when published as Flash 8 though)
Using Actionscript 2.0 in the publish settings.
And I’m using a rented server - http://www.powweb.com

Any suggestions would seriously help. I don’t know if this is a commonly occuring problem or not, I don’t know what key words to use to get an accurate search through the forums.

Thanks for at least reading this.
