Ive made a contact form with one field and I cannot get it to go to the 2nd frame (thank you message) and actually send the form (I have a server side script already).

If someone could take a look at my fla and tell me what I did wrong, it would be greatly appreciated.

heres the fla: [http://216.44.5.31/codsig2.fla](http://www.swishshop.com/codsig2.fla)

Thank you!!

Not sure if its right… but

```php
<html>
<head>
<title>Contact Form</title>
</head>

<body>
<?php

// define variables
$message = $_POST['message'];
$IP = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$to = "domo@retty.com";

// set $subject
$subject = "Sent from msg machine";

// set $msg
$msg = "Name: $name 
Email: $email 
IP: $IP
Message: $message";

// define mail headers
$mailheaders = "From: $name <$email>";

$result = mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);

?>
</body>
</html>

```

Your PHP script should look like this:

```php

<?php
$message = $_POST['message'];
$IP = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$to = "domo@retty.com";
$subject = "Sent from msg machine";
$msg = "Name: ".$name."
";
$msg .= "Email: ".$email."
";
$msg .= "IP: ".$IP."
";
$msg .= "Message: ".$message;

// define mail headers
$mailheaders = "From: ".$name." <".$email.">";

mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);
?>

```

I think.

I think theres something wrong with the fla though… as it will not go to the “message sent” frame.

What do you think?
