Hi,  
I recently created a flash AS3 email form from a popular tutorial for a website I’m creating and I have it working fine (thanks to some great help here). The problem I have now is that when I read the email posted from that website the ‘From:’ field does not contain the email address that the sender entered. Instead I am seeing this…

**H-Sphere Httpd Daemon \<httpd@web2.darklite.** \>\*\*

(asterisks added for security) which I assume is the mail daemon of the host where the website lives. Can anybody tell me how I can get the email ‘From:’ field to display the correct email address that the sender enters ?

Here is the code from the fla file:

**bSubmit.onRelease = function()  
{  
email();  
}  
function email()  
{  
var sMessage = "From: " + tName.text + "  
E-mail: " + tEmail.text + "  
Phone: " + tPhone.text + "  
Comments: " + tMessage.text;  
lvSend = new LoadVars();  
lvReply = new LoadVars();  
lvSend.msg = sMessage;  
lvSend.address = “webmaster@parishlife.ie”; //Change this to your e-mail.  
tStatus.text = “Sending Message…”;  
tName.text = “”;  
tEmail.text = “”;  
tPhone.text = “”;  
tMessage.text = “”;  
lvReply.onLoad()  
{  
tStatus.text = “Thank You for your message.”;  
}  
lvSend.sendAndLoad(‘mail.php’, lvReply, ‘POST’);  
}**

And here is the code from the php file:

**\<?php  
$message = $\_POST[“msg”];  
$address = $\_POST[“address”];  
mail($address,“ParishLife Website Message”,$message);  
?\>**

Any help appreciated. Many Thanks.
