i am creating a competition in flash
you type in a submission, hit send, get a message in the browser saying complete, get an automated email saying thanks, and sending the submission to myself
on my personal server, this works fine, no problem
when uploading to client server, i have problems..
they adjusted the security settings, everything worked fine
amazing, i am very relieved...
then i go away for a week, come back, and the competitions do not work
BUT
the in 'complete' message gets to the browser, so flash shows that it was a clean transaction
problem is that you never receive a confirmation email, and i never receive the submission
very frustrating
how did this happen...?
server people say it is not their fault
i say it is...
but i am not sure
i understand there have been some security changes introduced to php
http://uk.php.net/register_globals
and that perhaps there are work arounds for this
but i must remind you that they opened up the security, and it worked fine!!
a week later, no joy
i am confident that the php code works fine, and always did
and have attached it
but i just do not know how to even start getting this working
suggestions, support, even sympathy welcome
many thanks
. jay
