Hi there.

I use a xml contact form which is consists of these files:

contact_form.php

<?php
$sendTo = "info@mymail.gr";
$subject = "Φόρμα συμπλήρωσης ενδιαφέροντος από mysite.gr";
$message = $_GET['message'];
$email = $_GET['email'];
$name = $_GET['name'];
    //send mail
    $headers = "Από: $email\r\n";
    $headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-UTF-8' . "\r\n";
    $msg = "Οι ακόλουθες πληροφορίες καταχωρήθηκαν από τον ιστότοπο mysite.gr:\n\nΌνομα:".$name."\n\nE-mail:".$email."\n\nΜήνυμα:".$message."";
    mail($sendTo, $subject, $msg, $headers);
    echo "status=formOk";
?>

contact.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<contacts><![CDATA[Παρακαλουμε, συμπληρωστε τη φορμα με τα στοιχεια σας και το λογο εκδηλωσης ενδιαφεροντος και θα επικοινωνησουμε μαζι σας το συντομοτερο δυνατο. Ευχαριστουμε]]></contacts>

and the contact.swf.

Inside the .swf the send function is this:

function sendForm () {
    send_lv.name = formTitles.nameInput.text;
    send_lv.email = formTitles.emailInput.text;
    send_lv.message = formTitles.messageInput.text;
    //
    if ((formTitles.nameInput.text != "") and (formTitles.nameInput.text != "Πληκτρολογήστε το όνομά σας") and (formTitles.emailInput.text != "") and (formTitles.emailInput.text != "Πληκτρολογήστε το email σας") and (formTitles.emailInput.text.indexOf ("@", 0) != -1) and (formTitles.emailInput.text.indexOf ('.', 0) != -1) and (formTitles.messageInput.text != "") and (formTitles.messageInput.text != "Πληκτρολογήστε το μήνυμά σας")) {
        formTitles.sendBT.bt.enabled = false;
        send_lv.sendAndLoad ("contact_form.php",result_lv,"GET");
    }
    else {
        validateForm ();
    }
    //
    result_lv.onLoad = function (success:Boolean) {
        if (success) {
            formTitles.statusTxt.text = "Το μήνυμα εστάλη επιτυχώς";
            if (result_lv.status == "formOk") {
                formTitles.sendBT.bt.enabled = true;
                cleanForm ();
            }
        }
        else {
            formTitles.statusTxt.text = "Αποτυχία αποστολής";
            //trace ("server error");
        }
    };
}

When i get the results of the form at my email. i get squares with question marks (�) at message and name values which have been inserted by the user. The rest mail appears just fine (subject, msg and email). I have embedded greek characters at my dynamic texts in .swf but i have no results. I also have saved all my files at UTF-8.

Any ideas?

I would appreciate if someone could answer this question

Here is a link from where you can download my contact form folder to take a look at it:

I changed the 3 lines as you suggested. Then i changed this line:

send_lv.sendAndLoad ("contact_form.php",result_lv,"GET");

to:

send_lv.sendAndLoad ("contact_form.php",result_lv,"POST");

and i got blank values.

Then in .php file i changed the word GET with the word POST and i tried the encodings: UTF-8, iso-UTF-8 and iso-UTF-8 and i got these results:

Οι ακόλουθες πληροφορίες καταχωρήθηκαν από τον ιστότοπο sm-arch.gr: Όνομα:%D0%E1%ED%F4%E5%EB%DE%F2 E-mail:info%40p%2Dmech%2Egr Μήνυμα:%C3%E5%E9%DC

so, try:

function sendForm () {
    send_lv.name = escape(formTitles.nameInput.text);
    send_lv.email = escape(formTitles.emailInput.text);
    send_lv.message = escape(formTitles.messageInput.text);
    //
    if ((formTitles.nameInput.text != "") and (formTitles.nameInput.text != "Πληκτρολογήστε το όνομά σας") and (formTitles.emailInput.text != "") and (formTitles.emailInput.text != "Πληκτρολογήστε το email σας") and (formTitles.emailInput.text.indexOf ("@", 0) != -1) and (formTitles.emailInput.text.indexOf ('.', 0) != -1) and (formTitles.messageInput.text != "") and (formTitles.messageInput.text != "Πληκτρολογήστε το μήνυμά σας")) {
        formTitles.sendBT.bt.enabled = false;
        send_lv.sendAndLoad ("contact_form.php",result_lv,"GET");
    }
    else {
        validateForm ();
    }
    //
    result_lv.onLoad = function (success:Boolean) {
        if (success) {
            formTitles.statusTxt.text = "Το μήνυμα εστάλη επιτυχώς";
            if (result_lv.status == "formOk") {
                formTitles.sendBT.bt.enabled = true;
                cleanForm ();
            }
        }
        else {
            formTitles.statusTxt.text = "Αποτυχία αποστολής";
            //trace ("server error");
        }
    };
}

and use POST instead of GET

try changing your php header:

<?php
$sendTo = "info@mymail.gr";
$subject = "Φόρμα συμπλήρωσης ενδιαφέροντος από mysite.gr";
$message = $_GET['message'];
$email = $_GET['email'];
$name = $_GET['name'];
    //send mail
    $headers = "Από: $email\r\n";
    $headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8' . "\r\n";
    $msg = "Οι ακόλουθες πληροφορίες καταχωρήθηκαν από τον ιστότοπο mysite.gr:\n\nΌνομα:".$name."\n\nE-mail:".$email."\n\nΜήνυμα:".$messa ge."";
    mail($sendTo, $subject, $msg, $headers);
    echo "status=formOk";
?>
if that fails, try:

<?php
$sendTo = "info@mymail.gr";
$subject = "Φόρμα συμπλήρωσης ενδιαφέροντος από mysite.gr";
$message = $_GET['message'];
$email = $_GET['email'];
$name = $_GET['name'];
    //send mail
    $headers = "Από: $email\r\n";
    $headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
    $msg = "Οι ακόλουθες πληροφορίες καταχωρήθηκαν από τον ιστότοπο mysite.gr:\n\nΌνομα:".$name."\n\nE-mail:".$email."\n\nΜήνυμα:".$messa ge."";
    mail($sendTo, $subject, $msg, $headers);
    echo "status=formOk";
?>

I tried to change this:

$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-UTF-8' . "\r\n"; to

$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8' . "\r\n"; nothing happened and then i changed this:

$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8' . "\r\n"; to

$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

but nothing happened again.

Should i change the encoding of the saved file to something else? (i have it as UTF-8)

the php file? no, that's ok if you're getting email.

wait a minute. the greek text in your $message is coming through ok? if yes,try escaping the text you're sending from flash.
