please help! - basic php - asp conversion needed..

Hi There,

I am just wandering if any of you lot can help me with this request, I am up against a deadline and have been up for hours trying to get this to work.

The form was working fine, but the server I am publishing the site to has changed someting (maybe php version) and the flash form I have on all the pages no longer works... I have been advised to do it in ASP instead of PHP.

The flash movie sends the variables to the php form which sends the information to the email address I have specified in the php form.

I basically need an ASP version of the following PHP mailform.. Can anyone help me with the conversion? - it would be greatly appriciated, as I have gone as far as I can and am really stuck.

Here is the PHP code:

	<?  
	
	$adminaddress = "steve@digimodus.com"; 
	$siteaddress ="http://www.mountstar.com    http://www.scrap-metal.info     http://www.plastic-recycling.info"; 
	$sitename = "Mountstar"; 
	
	//No need to change anything below ... 
	// Gets the date and time from your server
	$date = date("m/d/Y H:i:s");
	
	// Gets the IP Address
	if ($REMOTE_ADDR == "") $ip = "no ip";
	else $ip = getHostByAddr($REMOTE_ADDR);
	
	// Gets the POST Headers - the Flash variables
	$action = $HTTP_POST_VARS['action'] ;
	$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS['email'] ;
	$name = $HTTP_POST_VARS['name'] ;
	$company_name = $HTTP_POST_VARS['company_name'] ;
	$telephone = $HTTP_POST_VARS['telephone'] ;
	$comments = $HTTP_POST_VARS['comments'] ;
	$dropdown = $HTTP_POST_VARS['hear'] ;
	
	//Process the form data!
	// and send the information collected in the Flash form to Your nominated email address
	
	if ($action == "send") {
	
	
		//SEND 1st MAIL TO ADMIN
		mail ("steve@digimodus.com","Brookside/About page enquiry",
		"A visitor at $sitename has sent the following information\n
		Name: $name 
		Company Name: $company_name
		Telephone Number: $telephone
		Email: $email\n
		The visitor commented:
		------------------------------
		$comments
		$dropdown
		
		Logged Info :
		------------------------------
		Using: $HTTP_USER_AGENT
		Hostname: $ip
		IP address: $REMOTE_ADDR
		Date/Time:  $date","FROM: steve@digimodus.comm" ) ; 
		
		
		//SEND 2ND MAIL TO ADMIN
		mail ("steve@thewaystudio.com","Brookside/About page enquiry",
		"A visitor at $sitename has sent the following information\n
		Name: $name 
		Company Name: $company_name
		Telephone Number: $telephone
		Email: $email\n
		The visitor commented:
		------------------------------
		$comments
		$dropdown
		
		Logged Info :
		------------------------------
		Using: $HTTP_USER_AGENT
		Hostname: $ip
		IP address: $REMOTE_ADDR
		Date/Time:  $date","FROM: steve@thewaystudio.com" ) ; 
		
		
		
		
	mail ("$email","Thank You for visiting the Mountstar Website", 
		"Hi $name,\n
		Thank you for your interest in Mountstar's products and/or services.\n
		We have received your enquiry and will respond within 8 business working hours.
		
		$sitename
		
		$siteaddress","FROM: traders@brooksidemetal.com") ; 
		
		//Confirmation is sent back to the Flash form that the process is complete
		$sendresult = "Thank you. You will receive a confirmation email shortly.";
		$send_answer = "answer=";
		$send_answer .= rawurlencode($sendresult);
		echo $send_answer;
	} //
	
	
	?>
	

HTML:

Hopefully if I get this converted, all I will have to do is change the code on the flash frame to point to an ASP file instead of a PHP one like so..

mailVar.sendAndLoad("b-about.asp", mailVar, "POST");
mailVar.onLoad = function() {
_root.comments = "Form Submitted, Thank you.";
_root.name = "";
_root.company_name = "";
_root.telephone = "";
_root.email = "";
_root.howmany = "please state";
gotoAndPlay("clearNgo");

Many thanks in advance....

I have been this mailform with my flash site for a while (PHP 4.4.1) , but now when I try the same mailform on another server running PHP 5, It wont send the emails !

do I need to update the code to allow this to run on PHP 5?

If anyone can help me get to the bottom of this - I will be eternally grateful.
I could always ask the new host to downgrade to the version that worked (PHP 4.4.1) - but I'm not that confident I can get them to do that...

I also tried directing the link in flash code to the mailform on the old server, but this doesn't allow external scripting on a different server - so I need to try and get this mailform working on the new server... any ideas?

 

Check to insure the register_long_arrays is on in the php.ini file. Out of the box, this is off. You may be able to set this value in the .htaccess file:

php_value 'register_long_arrays' 'On'

Code (markup):

If this doesn't work, ask your host to change the value in the php.ini file.
