TELLAFRIEND | BASED ON A FLAT TEXT FILE AND PHP

This is a ’ tell a friend ’ script that’s easy adjustable and has an extensive email validator.

This little file enables you to let your visitors tell their friends about your website. It uses the PHP mail function to send a mail to the address a visitor specified using your mail server. You can use it inside flash, or embed it in HTML .

The SWF (stand-alone) is transparent and get’s all its data from a text file. You can specify the font color, error messages and off course the message you want to send out to the world.

If that wasn’t good enough; besides extensive e-mail validation (which you can tweak in the setup file), the file also stores all valid e-mail addresses in a flat text file. This is used to check whether a mail has already been send, because you don’t want people to annoy others, using your website.

No database needed, no knowledge of flash needed. Not even to adjust the layout (if any).

Things worth mentioning: A. Your server must be enabled to send mail using PHP . Ask your host if you don’t know for sure. B. The email verification is done by pure logic, so it does not exclude non-existing addresses.

Enjoy, FonZ
