Need help with an order form!

I am creating an order form for my flash site. I have never done this before in flash but I have in visual basic. I have a few questions:

  1. Is assigning variable names to checkboxes and radio buttons the same as in visual basic? I mean i know that you probably assign them in the properties. ex…say i name a radio button ‘radio1’, to run a check in my actionscript whether radio1 was checked or not would it be something like if(radio1){}

  2. After the person fills out the form I would like to have the results of the order sent to a pre-specified email adress in a certain format. What would be a good way to do this??

thanks in advance!!

Prophet.

Is there something special on the server that facilitates php or will any normal webserver handle php files?

I want to say that ‘most’ servers support php. It’s pretty standard. You can usually get that info pretty easily from the webhost’s page.
