您如何从AIR桌面应用程序中发送电子邮件？

Question

I am trying to allow to the user to send an email from within an AIR Desktop application. At first I tried:

navigateToURL(newURLRequest("mailto:someone@example.comSubject=Hello&Body=SomeText");

But this opens up an empty tab in the default internet browser.

Then I tried to use a php file, I uploaded it on a server. PHP code is:

<?php
$to = ($_POST['recipientEmail']);
$subject = ($_POST['SenderName']);
$message = ($_POST['senderMesssage']);
$headers = "From: " . $_POST['senderName'] . " <" . $_POST['senderEmail'] .     ">\n";
if(@mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
{
    echo "answer=ok";
} 
else 
{
    echo "answer=error";
}
?>

and uploaded it on the following address: http://xespoofer.comxa.com/mail.php

The actionscript side is:

var myVars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
myVars.senderName = settings.companyName;
myVars.senderEmail =String(settings.settingsXML.Setting.@senderEmail);;
myVars.senderMesssage = String(settings.settingsXML.Setting.@Message);
myVars.recipientEmail = String(settings.settingsXML.Setting.@email);

var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://xespoofer.comxa.com/mail.php");
myURL.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
myURL.data = myVars;

var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
myLoader.load(myURL);

The actionscript code runs when a button is clicked. The problem is nothing happens. The email is not sent. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I suggest you to add some listeners to detect what is happening. I just tried (using hard coded strings, you should replace to use your proper data):

var myVars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
myVars.senderName = "name";
myVars.senderEmail =String("email@email.com");;
myVars.senderMesssage = String("Message");
myVars.recipientEmail = String("email2@email.com");

var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://xespoofer.comxa.com/mail.php");
myURL.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
myURL.data = myVars;

var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
myLoader.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
myLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioErrorHandler);
myLoader.load(myURL);

function completeHandler(event:Event):void
{
    trace("completeHandler: ", URLLoader(event.target).data.toString());
}

function progressHandler(event:ProgressEvent):void
{
    trace("progressHandler");
}

function ioErrorHandler(event:IOErrorEvent):void
{
    trace("ioErrorHandler");
}

And the completeHandler method outputs: " answer=ok ". Debug it using your real data and check if you are passing the right values to senderName , senderEmail , senderMessage and recipientEmail .
