I tried the link you sent and I get the same result - Two alert boxes
telling me the message was emailed etc.
The fault handler will be called if there is a fault on the service
itself. eg. you set a timeout of 15 seconds on the service and the
server does not respond for 15 seconds.
In your situation you need to send back messages and then display a
message depending on the message returned. eg.
In PHP:
$returnText = "Success";
if(!stripos($mail_to, "@"))
{
$returnText = "Malformed email address";
}
$OK = mail ($mail_to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if (!$OK)
{
$returnText = "Failed to send email";
}
echo $returnText;
In Flex:
private function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
switch(event.result.toString())
{
case "Success":
Alert.show("Thank you! Your message has been emailed",
"Thank you!");
break;
case "Malformed email address":
Alert.show("email address incorrect. It must contain an @");
break;
default:
Alert.show(event.result.toString());
break;
}
}
