Did you try the form itself? I guess I didn't show the link. It is
here: http://futurewavedesigns.com/ContactUs/ContactForm.html
When I enter information into the form, I get no response after I hit
Submit. Can you try that page and see what happens for you? Unless
you tried it already but I didn't list the page.
I think it is fixed. It seems to work fine now. I just need to add
some validation. I have this in my php form mailer:
$OK = mail ($mail_to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if ($OK)
{
echo 'sent=OK';
}
else
{
echo '&sent=ERROR';
}
I don't know how to make it not send the message and set an error. If
that does happen, my Flex code checks for event.result="ERROR" which I
don't think is going to work with the php code I just listed. I hope
someone here reading this knows some about php so that I can figure
out what to do to change the code so that it gives the user a message
if the email was not sent. I tried something that wasn't working
which is this:
else
{
die("failed");
}
That failed to cause any response at all from the form.
