The user fills out a flash “send a postcard” with their name, email, destination and message. The flash file sends everything to a PHP page that writes everything to a database and then sends a postcard to the recipient.
My problem is that hard returns in the message are not being passed to the PHP page. Here is some code:
postcard\_lv = new LoadVars();
result\_lv = new LoadVars();
postcard\_lv.message = obj.mcPostCard.messageTxt.text;
postcard\_lv.sendAndLoad(“[http://www.the-url/index.php",result\_lv,"POST](http://www.the-url/index.php%22,result_lv,%22POST)”)
I’ve been struggling with this for days. I even tried detecting the character code for a hard return in the message and replacing it with a ‘\’ but the script locked my browser up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
