Hello I have used the flash email form from **[SIZE=2][SIZE=2][COLOR=black]Senocular[/COLOR][/SIZE][/SIZE]** [URL=“http://www.kirupa.com/forum/…/developer/actionscript/flash_php_email.htm”]http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash_php_email.htm
I have added the php, swf and html files to my server. It all appears to work but I receive no email to my address?? :ponder:
This should all be simple. Can anyone suggest a reason why it would not work??? :crying:
I have followed the tutorial to the letter as far as I can see and the flash page seems to send to the php though nothing happens after this!!
Are you sure you server supports that function - many dont. Sometimes even if the mail is sent, it ends up in the spam box!
Sometimes, when you create a “from” header using the email address that the person sending the email enters, the message will be blocked as spam at the server level. The reason is that the server looks at the from header, and then looks at the server that sent the email and sees that they are not the same. If your domain is www.myserver.com and someone with an email address of "joe@gmail.com" tries to use your form, the server knows that the script is lying about where it’s coming from and may block it. This is especially true if there aren’t any other headers in the email to make the anti spam software feel warm and fuzzy.
What I do is just set the name on the from header and leave out the email address (the part btwn the <>). The server will just fill in some default value.
Try this form/script that I made:

Thank you both
I think I have found the problem. My server can be either Windows or Linux and only linux config supports PHP. I was under Windows though I have changed this now. The change takes a while though hopefully will work now.
