Hi,  
I’ve already searched to see if I could find a solution, but wasn’t able to come up with anything that has helped. So, here’s the problem I am having.  
I followed this tutorial for a php mail form in flash:  
[http://www.flashadvisor.com/tutorial/beginners/custom\_php\_email\_form.php](http://www.flashadvisor.com/tutorial/beginners/custom_php_email_form.php)  
(and now its offline…geez, great timing…)  
Here is the mailform.php:

```php

<?php 
$TextVariable = '&results='; 
$response = 'Thank you. Your email has been sent.'; 
echo $TextVariable; 
echo $response; 
/* recipients */ 
$recipient .= "info@interaptive.com" ; 
/* subject */ 
$subject = "Interaptive site mail"; 
/* message */ 
$message .= "Name: $name 
Email: $email 

Comments: $comments
"; 
/* additional header pieces for errors, From cc's, bcc's, etc */ 
$headers .= "From: $name <$email>
"; 

/* and now mail it */ 
mail($recipient, $subject, $message, $headers); 
?> 

```

I know that ‘something’ is working, because i get sent emails, but they are blank, except for the headings.(Name:, email:, comments:,) Im a php noob, but obviously there is a problem getting the variables passed from the flash form to the php - and on to the email.  
Here is the AS on my send button:  
[AS]  
on(release){  
if (!\_root.contents.email.length || \_root.contents.email.indexOf("@") == -1 || \_root.contents.email.indexOf(".") == -1) {  
\_root.contents.results = “Please check your email address.”;  
} else if (!\_root.contents.comments.length) {  
\_root.contents.results = “Please enter a message.”;  
} else if (!\_root.contents.name.length) {  
\_root.contents.results = “Please enter your name.”;  
} else {  
loadVariables(“[http://www.interaptive.com/mailform.php](http://www.interaptive.com/mailform.php)”, “\_root.contents”, “GET”);  
\_root.contents.results = “: : Transmitting : :”;  
}  
}

[/AS]  
I have 3 input textfields, with var names of name, email, comments respectively, as well as a dynamic field with a var name of results.

Does anybody have advice or suggestions as to how to fix this? Please help me out, I’m spinning my tires here=] Thanks, much appreciated!!  
cheers
