Ok… im totally noob t php and not that great with flash… I went through the turtorial on creating the email form and did everything and it didn’t work. click the send and it does nothing… Im hosting on [freeservers.com](http://freeservers.com) i pay for an account. It says it has GCI , php and some phpMyAdmin and MySQL… Im totally unfimiliar with this stuff… and it seems like there is alot of extra stuff i don’t want on this server… I just want to creat a simple email form with a small .php file… Do i need anything else besides the simple .php file in the turtorial? it says all scripts must go in the CGI directory for freeservers… but i tried that and changed the adresses inside the flash code and what not and it still didn’t work… Im thinking of mabye getting a different host… im paying like $15 a month now for this stuff [font=Arial][color=#000099]\> 1000 MB Web Space \> 20 GB Bandwidth \> 500 MB File Size \> **CGI, PHP, Perl and MySQL** \> 8 Stats/Reports \> E-mail/Phone Support \> Inexpensive Expert Consulting \> FTP Access \> 500 POP/Webmail Accounts[/color][/font] Anyone know of something better… with mabye easier to use php capabilities or something? remember im totally noob to this php cgi n scripting stuff… just learning… but freeservers has been kinda slow and the ftp seem a bit unstable… Ugh thats alot of info but i need some help and this place seemed like it might be a good place to ask.
