[flexcoders] Re: Problem with Flex form
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;
}
}

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.

In your result handler you should be checking the response you get
back from the server and display an alert accordingly.
One thing that will probably help you out a lot is to get an HTTP
debugging proxy like Charles (http://www.charlesproxy.com/). I use

It

I will need to share the code to get help with this. It is

extraneous appearance code that is not related to the actual logic

So, we have the main application that has a Panel that calls the

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Problem with Flex form
Under HTTPService in LiveDocs:
Due to a software limitation, HTTPService does not generate user-friendly
error messages when using GET.
Could that be your problem?

thanks, and
Here's an additional issue...
If anyone knows php how would I send a message from the php form
saying Ok or Fault. That is in the code but I am not sure how to
send it back to Flex.
Thanks
