I used the tutorial on flash forms and php found here: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash\_php\_email.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash_php_email.htm)

And everything works ok, except when I tested it and sent myself an email through it I got this in my inbox:

\<TEXTFORMAT LEADING=“2”\>\<P ALIGN=“LEFT”\>\<FONT FACE=“Palatino Linotype” SIZE=“15” COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING=“0” KERNING=“0”\>\</FONT\>\</P\>\</TEXTFORMAT\>\<TEXTFORMAT LEADING=“2”\>\<P ALIGN=“LEFT”\>\<FONT FACE=“Palatino Linotype” SIZE=“15” COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING=“0” KERNING=“0”\>Test\</FONT\>\</P\>\</TEXTFORMAT\>

With this in the subject line:

[COLOR=#00681C]\<\<TEXTFORMAT LEADING=“2”\>\<P ALIGN=“LEFT”\>\<FONT FACE=“Palatino Linotype” SIZE=“15” COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING=“0” KERNING=“0”\>[acastair@yahoo.com](mailto:acastair@yahoo.com)\</FONT\>\</P\> \</TEXTFORMAT@linhostjava29.prod.mesa1.secureserver.\>

I have no idea what I did wrong. I restarted the tutorial from scratch three seperate times trying to figure out what I did wrong.

Please help before I tear my hair out!:deranged:

Thanks,
