I was wondering if anyone nows any sites that have good tutorials on setting up a Flash MX form using Matt’s Formail CGI script. I found a few, but they were very vague and did not work.

I have never found one on FormMail that is worth anything.

I don’t know how I got mine to work, but it does, and so I don’t touch it (even tho abzoid has written an asp version for me) …

let me know if you find one, I would be interested as well.

Thanks, I am looking diligently for one. I will try the PHP version. I had a PHP version running with no problem, but I wanted to use formmail for its security.I appreciate the help. Flash forms are a pain in the &\*^%…

I tried the php script with a sample form that I made and it worked, but nothing showed up in the body of the email. I also want to have checkboxes and a drop-down menu for the states.
