passing a variable to another server?

hello there,

its for a uni project and i need some help, my uni asp server doesnt support CDONTS and i cant get an automatic emal thing to work, but i have got a simple php one working on a different server (www.slinky-designs.co.uk)

now the user is entering their email address ( variable = "m_ail") in flash and passing it to a asp script to put it in a database, and i want to email out the user welcoming them to the list. I have been told i need to set up a poxy script to pass this variable over to a php script on the other server.


can anyone help me ? please!

Sounds like you need to add another (invisible) form to the Flash movie alongside the one that puts their details in your DB with asp, that will send the users e-mail address to the mail script on the server which will send the mail. So you call the script and pass the e-mail address in the GET or POST array, manipulate the e-mail address and then send the confirmaion e-mail to the user.

This is fairly simple so I may be missing something?

HTH.

see if it was justa name and not a variable, i could use

myform.asp?m_ail=me@me.com

and pass it to the php and get it from that

you get me, but i dont know how to do this cos it'll be different every time!

Ok, you're creating a form in flash, then passing a var to an asp page in the querystring. Can you not add a form using javascript into the target asp page which will then submit the e-mail address to the php mailer script?
