noob...

noob or nerd, whatever you like... i just don't get along with php very much...

So, i'm making this e-mail form here, with a flash base, and a php background. Intheory should work, but it's not working... i already spent eterneties trying to figure out what's wrong, but i just can't say what it is...

Can somebody help me???

[Twey]

it's not working...

Well, that's helpful. How does the behaviour differ from what's expected of it? Do you get any error messages?

[jonybigude]

no, i don't recieve nothing at all... that's the problem, i should recieve a e-mail with the data from the fla file... but i have allmost 100% sure that there is no error on the fla file, although i may be wrong...

The SMTP protocol uses CRLF (\r\n) to seperate headers.

        $header = "From: " . $_POST['sender_nome'] . " <" . $_POST['sender_mail'] . ">\r\n";
        $header .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST['sender_nome'] . " <" . $_POST['sender_mail'] . ">\r\n";
        $header .= "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion() . "\r\n";
        $header .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n";

Are you sure that it was the only mistake i made on the php code?... it's still not working...

Set error reporting to strict:

<?php
error_reporting(E_STRICT);

and add error checking on the mail() function. It returns false if the mail could not be sent.

[jonybigude]

It just don't send any error... now, this is odd... =s maybe it's because it's linked with flash... or i'm doing it all wrong...

A friend of mine said to separate

mail("inesmarques@oninetspeed.pt,jonybigude@gmail.com,cscimoes@cne-escutismo.pt", "Inscricao 4 Ciclo - 2 Encontro", $body, $header); 

from the

$header = "From: " . $_POST['sender_nome'] . " <" . $_POST['sender_mail'] . ">\r\n";
    $header .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST['sender_nome'] . " <" . $_POST['sender_mail'] . ">\r\n";
    $header .= "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion() . "\r\n";
    $header .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n"; 

and put it in the end, because it was sending the e-mail before the code put the data inside it... i changed, but although it still doesn't work...



Is anyone here who can figure what's wrong with this inscription form????...

[Twey]

Does mail() return true or false?

[jonybigude]

It just doesn't... no feedback of any kind is sent... seriouslly i'm starting to dispair...

[Twey]

It is listed as a boolean function. This means it must return either true or false. Please check its return value with an if statement.
