guestbook trouble

[novatake]

hey ive got a flash guestbook and i have this code in it for making sure all the input fields are full

if (!isset($name) || !isset($email) || !isset($message) || empty($name) || empty($email) || empty($message)) {
print "&result=Fail";
print "&errorMsg=" . urlencode("Input required for all fields.");
exit;

problem is when i fill the input fields it still says there not all full

ive tried just taking it out pecause i dont really need the function anyway but when i post it doesnt put any of the data into the entries section

any ideas

-Tom

Why are you using urlencode?

[novatake]

i didnt write it its just sumthing i got off flash kit

You could try reducing the valildation requirement - I've just tested this and seems to work fine:


if (!isset($name) || !isset($message) || empty($name) || empty($message)) {
print "&result=Fail";
print "&errorMsg=" . urlencode("Input required for name and message fields.");
exit;
}

here is the full code is there anyway i can comletely take it out so it doesnt try and validate what is inputed


<?
if (!isset($name) || !isset($message) || empty($name) || empty($message)) {
print "&result=Fail";
print "&errorMsg=" . urlencode("Input required for name and message fields.");
exit;
}

$email = strtolower($email);

addentry($name, $email, $message);

function addentry($name, $email, $message) {

$posted = strftime("%D %I:%M %p");

$message = stripslashes($message);

$file = fopen('entry.txt', 'a+');

if (!$file) {
print "&result=Fail";
print "&errorMsg=" . urlencode("Could not open entry.txt file. Change CHMOD levels to 766.");
exit;
}

fputs($file, "<font color=\"#000000\">Name:</font> $name\n<font color=\"#000000\">Email:</font> <font color=\"#CCCCCC\"><u><A href=\"mailto:$email\">$email</A></u></font><br>\n<font color=\"#000000\">Posted:</font> $posted\n<font color=\"#000000\">Message:</font> $message\n\n");
fclose($file);

// Send admin an email when new entry occurs
// mailAdmin($name, $email);
}

function mailAdmin($name, $email) {
$mailTo = "Tom Colmer <tom@thepoorkidswithguns.co.uk>";
$mailFrom = "From: Guestbook <noreply@email.com>";
$mailSubject = "New Guestbook Entry";
$mailBody = "$name ($email) has just posted in your guestbook at http://www.thepoorkidswithgunsc.co.uk";
mail($mailTo, $mailSubject, $mailBody, $mailFrom);
}

print "&result=okay";
exit;

?>

Use this code which should send the data without validating that the fields have any content:


<?

$email = strtolower($email);

addentry($name, $email, $message);

function addentry($name, $email, $message) {

$posted = strftime("%D %I:%M %p");

$message = stripslashes($message);

$file = fopen('entry.txt', 'a+');

if (!$file) {
print "&result=Fail";
print "&errorMsg=" . urlencode("Could not open entry.txt file. Change CHMOD levels to 766.");
exit;
}

fputs($file, "<font color=\"#000000\">Name:</font> $name\n<font color=\"#000000\">Email:</font> <font color=\"#CCCCCC\"><u><A href=\"mailto:$email\">$email</A></u></font><br>\n<font color=\"#000000\">Posted:</font> $posted\n<font color=\"#000000\">Message:</font> $message\n\n");
fclose($file);

// Send admin an email when new entry occurs
// mailAdmin($name, $email);
}

function mailAdmin($name, $email) {
$mailTo = "Tom Colmer <tom@thepoorkidswithguns.co.uk>";
$mailFrom = "From: Guestbook <noreply@email.com>";
$mailSubject = "New Guestbook Entry";
$mailBody = "$name ($email) has just posted in your guestbook at http://www.thepoorkidswithgunsc.co.uk";
mail($mailTo, $mailSubject, $mailBody, $mailFrom);
}

print "&result=okay";
exit;

?>

that just kinda brings it all up in the posts section have a look www.thepoorkidswithguns.co.uk under book

[mlk]

The guestbook worked. I posted a stupid message. Oops.

[novatake]

yeh i changed to a xml driven guestbook that i found on kirupa i should never stray from what i know haha thanks for all your help every1

[pete_zahut]

Is there a way to do the guestbook in combo with flash and xml only? So no PHP, because I have only some free webspace... that doesn't support PHP.

Is it possible to do a "save" function with Flash AS?

[novatake]

hey man i ended up not using a php book but i changed to a xml guestbook see on my site http://www.thepoorkidswithguns.co.uk

works a treat must say i can try and find the files again if u want, i cant remember if it was off this site or flash kit im sure it was off here though

[pete_zahut]

Cool site!

So you're not using PHP or ASP?

Just want to know how you save an external file with Flash.
I'll check Flash Kit tonight, thx.

[novatake]

basically mate its a xml file which has been allowed so people can edit it or write in it so u click add message and they put the message in which is technically editing the xml file but as far as they know their just posting a message lol if u want the files ill take them off my ftp let me know it will be tommorrow before i can do it for u though

[pete_zahut]

Yeah I would like to see them, if possible.
Because in an other thread ( http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1730893#post1730893 ) they think it's impossible to do it without PHP or ASP...

Thx, Pete

[novatake]

lol ill have a look i might be totally wrong u know ive got a lot of Gbook files on my webspace dunno which is which atm ill have to figure it out

[novatake]

made a error there im afraid i thought it was process.xml but its processxml.php damn it if u need somewhere to host ur php file u can put it in my webspace if u need to that is fine im sorry i totally miss read it, although i am sure u can do it without have a look on flash kit

but again if u need to host it on my space let me know and ill put it up for u and send u the link
