I have read all the tutorials I could find discussion Flash/PHP mailers. I have followed the ones one [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com), [Actionscript.org](http://Actionscript.org) and many many others and have never got them to work. The one I have currently isn’t working either, so I am hoping someone could help me out with it.

Ok, first, here is the PHP  
\*\*[color=Red]\<?php  
// set variables  
$to = "email@email.com";  
$subject = “contact”;  
$cname = "cname

";  
$msg = "name

";  
$msg .= "message

";

// mail function  
mail($to, $subject, $cname, $msg, "From: Contact  
Reply-To: $email  
");  
?\>

[/color]\*\*[color=Red][color=Black]Secondly, I have the actionscript set like so:  
This is on the **submit** button.  
**[color=Blue]on (release) {  
if (name eq “” or email eq “” or message eq “” or cname eq “”) {  
gotoAndStop(“error”);  
} else {  
loadVariablesNum(“flashmail.php”, 0, “POST”);  
gotoAndStop(“confirm”);  
}  
}  
[/color]**  
Thre is no other actionscript in my mail script other than the one on the submit button, and the stop function on an actions layer.

I have all the variables named in Flash, and the .swf and .php are both in the same directory, so I am kinda stumped at the moment. Also, I have the right email address set as well.

Flash Form Layout  
name: (the input box’s variable is “name” with no quotes)  
email:[/color][/color][color=Red][color=Black] (the input box’s variable is “email” with no quotes)[/color][/color]  
[color=Red][color=Black]company name:[/color][/color][color=Red][color=Black] (the input box’s variable is “cname” with no quotes)[/color][/color]  
[color=Red][color=Black]inquiry:[/color][/color][color=Red][color=Black] (the input box’s variable is “message” with no quotes)

Any help is greatly appreciated, as I haven’t gotten any of these to work on my own, only one has worked, and it was a tutoril I uploaded to my server.
