I am new to website design and I have run into a problem. I am trying to create a contact form in Flash 8. I have tried a bunch of online tutorials and I can’t get it figured out. I created all the text fields and gave them var names (in the properties panel, is that correct?) and have created a submit btn. The actionscript on the submit button is :
on (release) {
loadVariablesNum (“http://www.XXXXXXXXX.com/official/form1.php”, 0, “GET”);
gotoAndPlay (16);
}
The components of the form are all on the same layer. Do I need to make the input boxes into a movieclip?
The PHP script I have looks like:
<?php
$to .= “XXXX@yahoo.com”;
$subject = “Website Contact”;
$msg .= "$name
";
$msg .= "phone
";
$msg .= "$email
";
$msg .= "$hear_about
";
$msg .= "comments
";
$headers .= "From: $name <$email>
";
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);
?>
— on a side note, do PHP scripts have the tags (<body>, <head>, etc.) like html? and if so, does the script code go in the <body>?
When i test the form, an e-mail is sent but the email looks like this:
From: /TEXTFORMAT@linhost258.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net
Body of e-mail:

[SIZE=2]And one last question, whenever I pull up the form on the internet, the input text boxes all have _level0.name (or whatever the var is of that text box)?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Thanks in advance for the help.[/SIZE]
