Formmail.php problem

[leonardorepetto]

Hello, I am having some difficulties with a PHP contact form and I was hoping someone could give me some advice to get through this problem.

In the past I've used formmail.php in an HTML site and it worked fine, but now I want to use it in a Flash site and I can't make it work. I tested the site in another server and it works, so I thought that maybe there was a problem with the permissions, but I couldn't find anything wrong there. This is the programming I'm using:

In Flash:
bEnviar.onRelease = function() {
if (nom.length<1) {
mensaje_error = "Por favor ingrese su nombre.";
} else if (!mail.text.isMail()) {
mensaje_error = "Por favor ingrese un e-mail valido.";
} else {
loadVariablesNum("form.php", 0, "POST");
limpiar();
mensaje_error = "Gracias!";
}
};

The PHP code:
<?
$to = "info@mydomain.com";
$subject = "subject";
$msg .= "$nom, le envia el siguiente mensaje:\n\n";
$msg .= "E-mail: $mailfrom\n";
$msg .= "Comments: $body\n";
mail($to, $subject, $msg, "From:". $mailfrom);

sleep(3);
?>

Please, if anyone can help me out I would appretiate it a lot!

Thanks in advance!

Where do you create your variables?

For example, you use "$body" but I do not see where you initially have

<?php
$body = "My eMail Body"
?>

In the contact form in Flash I have three input text fields: name, email and comment. Each one has a different variable assigned: $nom, $mailfrom and $body respectively.

Make sure that the "from" email address exists on the server. WHB's spam protection won't let you send a mail without a valid sending address. I recommend creating "generic@[website].com" or something similar. You don't need to use it, of course, just have it. "noreply@[website].com" is also a popular option.

Problem solved!!! Thank you very much!!!

Following your last advice I created the email address noreply@mydomain.com and after updating the code I started receiving the emails from the contact form, but they were all blank. The variables of the text fields were not being read by the formmail.php. So I modified the code a little bit and now it works fine.

Maybe someone can find this useful so I'll post the working code here:

<?
$to = "info@mydomain.com";
$subject = "Contact from the web";
$msg .= "$_POST[nom] wrote:\n\n";
$msg .= "E-mail: $_POST[mailfrom]\n";
$msg .= "Comments: $_POST[body]\n";
mail($to, $subject, $msg, "From:". "noreplay@mydomain.com");

sleep(3);
?>
