A long while back I was trying to make some flash website. I lost interest because I wasn't feeling creative, but now I'd like to try again. I have a whole line up of content ready to go, but now the site refuses to work. A small orange updated the php from 4.x to 5.3.17
This is the tutorial I used (My code is more updated than shown in the link)
My problem is that the e-card is not showing the text that is supposed to come from a text file in a directory called dBText. (hugclub.net/dBText) (exposed for now so you can view it) The directory does generate the text with no problems (created by the php file) and the greeting appears correctly in the received email, but the actual flash e-card does not show the text.
4 files handle this, SendEcard.php, SelectEcard.php, a button in the main movie and the e-card swf itself.
Main Movie's send button after filling out the form.

e-card action script: There are dynamic text fields with variables that match those in SendEcard.php such as FromName etc...
loadVariablesNum ("http://hugclub.net/dBText/"+EcardText+".txt", 0);

This is what's generated in the text file: [email=ToName=You&ToEmail=zodiac_izlude@hotmail.com&FromName=Me&FromEmail=ecards@hugclub.net&Greeting=Test&IntroMessage=Hello]ToName=You&ToEmail=zodiac_izlude@hotmail.com&FromName=Me&FromEmail=ecards@hugclub.net&Greeting=Test&IntroMessage=Hello[/email] to me bla bla bla...&Created=&
This is the e-card which isn't showing the text:
