derek welcome to TSDN!

I have a php form that is returning ok but it is only returing the varient headers and not the content.

I haven't the faintest idea what your problem is! What does: '..is returning ok..' mean? And what headers does it return? What do you mean by content?

Please explain your problem in plain English.

You don't really expect me to read that unstructured heap of code, do you?

Read the Posting Guidelines at the top of this forum and comply with the rules for enclosing code within code or php tags!

That cannot be the complete code. Where is the form on which the user enters his data and which calls the email-sending form when submitted?

The errorslog only show NOTICES. I.e. you have an non-initialized $_GET array so the values you extract are from unknown array keys.

Hi sorry about the tags i have worked very hard to get to this stage of trying to make a php form and apologise for any thing i have done wrong! the form is as follows :
on (release) {
_parent.getURL( "contact.php"," _blank",
"GET");
_parent.name="n ame:";
_parent.phone=" phone:";
_parent.email=" email:";
_parent.message ="message:";
}
this is within FLASH

ok but can you help with this one??
Derek

**ronverdonk** · Mar 5 '07, 08:41 PM

I don't know much about Flash, but from this code

Code:

on (release) {
_parent.getURL("contact.php","_blank",
"GET");
_parent.name="name:";
_parent.phone="phone:";
_parent.email="email:";
_parent.message="message:";
}

it appears that your form is exactly working like you want it to. In your variables you have set the values of your url to

Code:

name:
phone:
email:
message:

and that is what is exactly what is passed to your email handling form and is stored in the email itself.

What I think you forgot is to store the actual values in the url parameters in your Flash code, something like:

Code:

on (release) {
_parent.getURL("contact.php","_blank",
"GET");
_parent.name="John Doe";
_parent.phone="311 2456 443";
_parent.email="JohnDoe@ThatSite.com";
_parent.message="You have been registered ... blah ... blah ...";
}

hi thanks for taking the time and replying but still not working
i cut and pasted your code and when i filled in the form it returned the usual but when i pressed the buttin again it returned ..
Hello!
Name: John Doe
Phone: 311 2456 443
E-mail: JohnDoe@ThatSit e.com
You have been registered ... blah ... blah ...

whaqt do you think of that?
Derek

**ronverdonk** · Mar 5 '07, 09:28 PM

As I said before: I don't know a thing about Flash! So I do not know what hitting the Flash button triggers. But at least the data from your url parameters is passed correctly to the email-handling form.

Now are you really sure that you have to hit the button twice? Is so, I think it must be a Flash problem that could be transferred to the Flash forum at this site.

**Derek** · Mar 5 '07, 09:35 PM

yes the first time i press the button it returns
Hello!
Name:
Phone:
E-mail:
and then the second time it returns your code (weired)
ill try the flash section

Thanks for your time

**ronverdonk** · Mar 5 '07, 09:39 PM

Do you want me to transfer this thread to the Flash forum?

Ronald :cool:

**iam_clint** · Mar 5 '07, 10:17 PM

The reason it didn't work the first time is because the script was cached... Second time it regot the file with the new script

In your flash you need to set your variables from the input boxes in your flash _root.text1.tex t for example not sure what yours are named.
