I am having a great deal of problems with creating a mail form. I have managed to find this…
http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Basics/Interactivity/E-mail_f-Gareth_D-6166/index.php

and it looks like something that i want to use for my site. i am really confused on how to make it work. and where to do the editing. How would i make it work and what do i need to make it work.

Thanks for your time

for some reason all of that stuff confuses me. and i can never get it to work out correctly. When i dowloaded the file from flash kit, it comes with an extra file, called sendmail.php. i am not sure what the use of this is, im really searously confused. Mabye this isnt for me then. :frowning:

sendmail.php is would have the actualy php script that mails the variables to your inbox… that needs to be placed on your server, and when you call it through actionscript, it loads the file, sends the variables to it, and php handles them and mails them. =)

they arent really confusing… or well atleast compared to other AS/PHP combination… a mailer form should be easy :slight_smile:

you need to take the time to read and learn and understand. No one is going to spoon-feed you the information. The closest you will get is tutorials and posts like the ones I showed you.
