I made up a little flash site for school, and now it doesn’t want to send the message of the mail form (it uses Php…) If anyone could help I would be very Happy 😃

The adress is [http://www.geocities.com/nova\_college2003/](http://www.geocities.com/nova_college2003/)  
-\>just click on invite to see.

(sorry for the geocities adress, but i didn’t have an other webspace availlable!)

The scripts and the php file is from the tutorial about: Flash-Based Email Form Using PHP  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash\_php\_email.htm/](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash_php_email.htm/)

I have altered the movie as less as possible to keep it working.

the send buttons actionscript:  
[AS]on (release) {  
// send variables in form movieclip (the textfields)  
// to email PHP page which will send the mail  
form.loadVariables(“email.php”, “POST”);  
}[/AS]

$headers = “From: " . $HTTP\_POST\_VARS[‘name’];  
$headers .= “\<” . $HTTP\_POST[\_VARS’email’] .”\>

$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $HTTP\_POST\_VARS[‘email’];  
$message = $HTTP\_POST\_VARS[‘message’];

try that instead.
