loadVariablesNum trouble

Hi, I have made a email form very similar to the kirupa tutorial. I have exported the movie as swf and use loadMovie to bring up the movie in my site, it comes up and seems to work properly but i don’t get the email. when I load the .swf file directly it works fine. I have some code that tells me when the data has been sent, all it gets to is "sending data…"and goes no further. here is my code for both the php script and the flash code.

<?php
$TextVariable = ‘&results=’;
$response = ‘Data Sent. Thank You…’;
echo $TextVariable;
echo $response;
/* recipients /
$recipient .= “lukehiggs@aquariandesign.net” ;
/
subject /
$subject = “Inquiry”;
/
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);
?>

this is the code for the send button:

on (release) {
// logical operator makes sure the textfield is not blank. IndexOf checks for “@” and “.” characters in textfield
if (!email.length || email.indexOf("@") == -1 || email.indexOf(".") == -1) {
results = “Please check your e-mail address.”;
} else if (!comments.length) {
results = “Please enter your comments.”;
} else if (!name.length) {
results = “Please enter your name.”;
} else {
loadVariablesNum (“mailform.php”, 0, “GET”);
results = “Sending Data…”;
name = “”;
email = “”;
comments = “”;
}
}

and finally the code that is attached to the contact button on my site:

on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("/ContactClip") {
gotoAndPlay(“fadein”);
}
}
on (rollOut) {
tellTarget ("/ContactClip") {
gotoAndPlay(“fadeout”);
}
}
on (release) {
_root.contents.loadMovie(“http://www.aquariandesign.net/flash/ContactWindow.swf”);
}

sorry for the lengthy message…I think a small correction in the send button code needs to be made but I cannot figure out what it would be, or maybe the php code…it works fine if you directly access the .swf movie.

thank you so much, Luke
