1. I created my form exactly to the tutes specs [see send\_mail\_form.fla]

2. i added the following to a new document in notepad:

```php
<?PHP
$to = "alucardx@hisemail.com";
$msg .= "$email

"; 
mail($to, $subject, $msg, "From: My web site
Reply-To: $email
");
?>

```

I saved it as form.php and then uploaded it to my site with the rest of the files.

For some reason, the swf with the form does not load, while the other swf does.

Also i am not sure it works, can someone check and see.

Thanks

i’ve been working on it the past hour or so and figured out all the bugs.

I just sent myself a test email too…hasn’t arrived yet.

How long should it take?

It should send instantly. Double-check your variables and make sure it’s sending to the right address
