Form help Please

Simple Form is driving me bonkers
I Just have 3 input fields. Right now I can’t even get these field to post to my e-mail address. But eventually I would like to have the input fields clear itself. And prior to typing in the email address, i would like that field to to have the words “e-mail address here”.

here is where I @

This is my sendmail.php

[COLOR=darkred]<?php

$destination="blug@charter.net";

$nowDay=date(“d.m.Y”);
$nowTime=date(“H:i:s”);

$email=$_POST[‘theEmail’];
$days=$_POST[‘theDays’];
$scores=$_POST[‘theScores’];

$FormContent="Message date = $nowDay at $nowTime

from: $email
Play on: $days
Score: $scores

";

if(mail($destination,"$subject[NoZeroStroke]",$FormContent,“From:$email”))
{
echo ‘response=Thanks for your e-mail’;
} else {
echo ‘response=failed’;
}
?>[/COLOR]

Here is my actionscript

[COLOR=darkred]
submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sendForm);
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“sendmail.php”);

var variables:URLVariables;
variables.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;

req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
email_txt.text=“E-mail Address here”

function sendForm(event:MouseEvent):void {
variables.theDays = days_txt;
variables.theScores = scores_txt;
variables.theEmail = email_txt;
req.data = variables;
loader.load(req);
days_txt.text="";
scores_txt.text="";
email_txt.text="";
}[/COLOR]

After noting most of the search examples this what I’ve lastried to no avail. Please Help.
