ActionScripts 3 to PHP email send

Question

I found a tutorial for send email using actionscripts 3 and php, i downloaded project files and copied mail.php to our VPS server xamp htdocs folder. Animate CC project run but nothing sent.

AS3:

submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sendMessage);
function sendMessage(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    var my_vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
    my_vars.senderName = name_txt.text;
    my_vars.senderEmail = email_txt.text;
    my_vars.senderMsg = message_txt.text;

    var my_url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://my-domain.com/mail.php");
    my_url.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
    my_url.data = my_vars;

    var my_loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    my_loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
    my_loader.load(my_url);

    name_txt.text = "";
    email_txt.text = "";
    message_txt.text = "Message Sent";
}

PHP:

<?php
$to = "email@yourDomain.com"; //Changed to my gmail
$subject = ($_POST['senderName']);
$message = ($_POST['senderMsg']);
$message .= "\n\n---------------------------\n";
$message .= "E-mail Sent From: " . $_POST['senderName'] . " <" . $_POST['senderEmail']  . ">\n";
$headers = "From: " . $_POST['senderName'] . " <" . $_POST['senderEmail'] . ">\n";
if(@mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
{
    echo "EMAIL SENT";
} 
else 
{
    echo "EMAIL NOT SENT";
}
?>

Animate CC Output:

Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs. at Error$/throwError() at flash.net::URLVariables/decode() at flash.net::URLVariables() at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()

PHP Output:

Notice: Undefined index: senderName in /opt/lampp/htdocs/mail.php on line 3 Notice: Undefined index: senderMsg in /opt/lampp/htdocs/mail.php on line 4 Notice: Undefined index: senderName in /opt/lampp/htdocs/mail.php on line 6 Notice: Undefined index: senderEmail in /opt/lampp/htdocs/mail.php on line 6 Notice: Undefined index: senderName in /opt/lampp/htdocs/mail.php on line 7 Notice: Undefined index: senderEmail in /opt/lampp/htdocs/mail.php on line 7

EMAIL NOT SENT

I have no experinance with actionscript, but it looks like at least one of your problems is the post request keys dont seem to match up. In AS you set a propery called `senderName` but in php you attempt to read `name`. Perhaps changing your php post keys to match your AS property names would be a start: `$_POST['senderName']`,`$_POST['senderEmail']`,`$_POST['senderMsg']` — Steve, Mar 01 '17 at 15:47
Comment the line with URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES to avoid AS3 error. This line instructs that **answer** is a string of key1=value1&key2=value2 format, not the request. What for PHP, I'd start with print_r($_POST) and print_r($_GET) just to see what incoming data is. — Organis, Mar 01 '17 at 16:21
You mean AS3 code is true, and can you as simple PHP for this? i have no experince with php. — A.M, Mar 01 '17 at 16:46
Then POST data is empty. Not long ago there was a topic about sending POST data: http://stackoverflow.com/a/41874224/4687633 — Organis, Mar 01 '17 at 17:27
Change this line: var my_vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables(); to this one: var my_vars:Object = new Object(); — Mr. Phantom, Mar 02 '17 at 15:42

I have done this, it works great! IN FLASH Actionscript 3 define:

function f_sendMail() {
    var loader: URLLoader = new URLLoader;
    loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;

    var urlreq: URLRequest = new URLRequest("mysqlphp.php");
    urlreq.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
    var urlvars: URLVariables = new URLVariables;
    //data to be sent to php
    //xdato1= name receibed php
    //wdato1= name in flash
    urlvars.xdato1 = wdato1;
    urlvars.xdato2 = wdato2;
    urlreq.data = urlvars;

    loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, f_completed);
    loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, f_errorHandler);
    loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.NETWORK_ERROR, f_errorHandler);
    loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.VERIFY_ERROR, f_errorHandler);
    loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.DISK_ERROR, f_errorHandler);
    try {
        loader.load(urlreq);
    } catch (error: Error) {
        sonidomal();
        errortxt.text = "A Error has occurred in send mail: " + error;
    }   
    function f_errorHandler(e: IOErrorEvent): void {
        errortxt.text = "errorHandler error=" + e.text;
    }   
    function f_completed(event: Event): void {
        if ((event.target.data.done == null) ||
           (event.target.data.done ==     undefined)) {
            errortxt.text = "Undefined";
        } else {
            if ((event.target.data.done.indexOf("Error") > -1) ||
               (event.target.data.done.indexOf("error") > -1)) {
                errortxt.text = event.target.data.done;
            } else {
                var textophp: String = event.target.data.done;
                //if you want to send data from php to flash
                //remember is by one string using echo
                //you have to separate it maybe ","
                trace ("mail ok");
            }
        }
    }
}

    if (mail($mail_to, $message_subject, $message_body.$msg,

    }
}

Remember if your php is new you have to change sendmail file in php

//I think the error was you do not receive the answer from php correctly.
//In my example:
//In flash ".done" is the name field received from php:

function f_completed(event: Event): void { if ((event.target.data.done == null) ||...

//Then you have to finish php in this way:
//---
//Send data to flash
$done = "Send mail";
echo utf8_encode("done=".$done);
?>

//You do not have to write any echo during the php program
//Because it will send error to flash that is waiting for answer.
//Other tip.
//In php program at the beginning in "<?php" do not let any row empty after 
//or before because it causes error to flash
