why doesn’t my mailform work, that’s the question… I think it’s easier to look at the code than downloading the fla so:

My send button’s actions:

```php
on (release) {
    	if (!Email.length || Email.indexOf("@") == -1 || Email.indexOf(".") == -1) {
		mc.EmailStatus = "Please enter an emailaddress";
	} 	
	else {
		loadVariablesNum ("mailform.php", "0", "Post");
        mc.EmailStatus = "Sending...";
			
}
}

```

My mailform.php:

```php
<?
$ToEmail = "lato@webstation.be";

$ToName = "LATO";
$ToSubject = "Contact";

$EmailBody = "Sent By: $FirstName $LastName
Senders Email: $Email

Subject: $Subject
Message:
$ToComments
";

$EmailFooter="http://www.mysite.be";

$Message = $EmailBody.$EmailFooter;

mail($ToName." <".$ToEmail.">",$ToSubject, $Message, "From: ".$LastName." <".$Email.">");

Print "myAppMain.mc.EmailStatus=Your mail has been sent";

?>

```

The prob: it shows “Sending…” in “EmailStatus” when I click the Send-button, but it just doesn’t send anything.

try ‘\_root’ instead of ‘myAppMain’:

Print “\_root.mc.EmailStatus=Your mail has been sent”; (in your .php file, of course)

anyway, the idea is that your problem consists of the print command that sends to flash a wrong path to your variable; read some tutorials about paths from kirupa
