I have made a form…

and on the submit button i added this code:  
on (release) {  
if (name eq “” || contact eq “” || title eq “” || message eq “” ) {  
info = “Please fill in all fields”;  
stop();  
} else {  
loadVariablesNum(“send.php”, 0, “POST”);  
nextFrame();  
name = “”;  
contact = “”;  
title = “”;  
message = “”;  
info = “”;  
}  
}

The send.php file is like:  
\<?  
$headers = “From: $name”;  
mail("dh@designers-hub.com", “$headers”, “$title”, “$contact”, “$message”);  
?\>

For some reason when it sends it doesn;t send the $message…

Can you fix this or do you know a better code?

Check to see if you gave your message text box the correct variable name.

There are some errors in your PHP file. You’re trying to use a variable like this “$headers”. That won’t use the value of the variable $headers, it will use the string “$headers”. So get rid of the quotes around your variable names.

Same thing for

```php
$headers = "From: $name"

```

, which should be

```php
$headers = "From : ".$name

```

. You might also want to have it jump to the next line, using “  
”.

```php

<? 
$headers = "From: ".$name."
"; 
mail("dh@designers-hub.com", $headers, $title, $contact, $message); 
?>

```

I hope that’s not your entire scipt …

v-

```php
$name = "Voetsjoeba";
echo "My name is $name.";

```

prints My name is Voetsjoeba 🙂

You got the order of the arguments messed up… try this

```php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$contact = $_POST['contact'];
$title = $_POST['title'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

$headers = "From: $name <$contact>";

mail("dh@designers-hub.com", $title, $message, $headers);

```

as I discussed with you in MSN, that’s legal voets…

and you need to check whether REGISTER\_GLOBALS is on… that script won’t work if it is.

change loadVariablesNum(“send.php”, 0, “POST”); , to getURL(“send.php”, “\_blank”, “POST”); , and tell me what the output is.
