I wanted to create a similiar thing to a feedback area on a flash site that saves the info to a .txt file or e-mails it (that would be hard i htink).

Hey kruza,

Well, both would need a server-side script to work, if u would like to save ur information into txt, a php or any other language is a must, or u would like to send the information into ur email, it would be the same! so please tell me which would u need!?

PS. you should have a php enabled host to use those features!

Hi kruza,

I meant that if you want to save to a .txt, you should have a php script to save your information into txt, and if you want to send your information to your email, you’ll need also php!

So i want you to choose weather saving to a .txt using php OR sending the information to your email!

the php e-mail form would acually bu much much easier… what you need to do is set it up so that each text box is saved as a variable… then you have it send an email with the variables inside the e-mail… i’ll type up a code for you and post it here but i g2g now

give me a little bit…

</div>

well, a php code that sends an email will look like:

```php
<?
$recipient = "email@msn.com";
unset($HTTP_POST_VARS['onLoad']);
unset($HTTP_POST_VARS['clear']);
$body = "The following information was submitted...

";
foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key => $value) {
	$key = substr($key, 0, -4);
	$body .= "$key: $value
";
}
$from = $HTTP_POST_VARS['name_txt'] . " <" . $HTTP_POST_VARS['email_txt'] . ">";
mail($recipient, $HTTP_POST_VARS['subject_txt'], $body, "From: $from");
?>

```

</div>

and in flash:

```php
// Create data handler and set onLoad event handler
dataHandler = new LoadVars();
dataHandler.onLoad = function(success) {
	if (success) {
		messageBox("Your data has been mailed by the server. Thank you for your feedback, and someone will be in touch with you shortly regarding your query");
	} else {
		messageBox("You data was not able to be sent due to a problem on the server. Please try again later!");
	}
}
dataHandler.sendAndLoad("simplemailer.php", dataHandler, "POST");

```

hope this helps!
