I used a tutorial from this site ***http://www.developphp.com***, that helped me create a contact form, for my site.
It all works fine, sending email, messages etc, except that it seems to be sending the content of the email, the actual body text as an attachment, because when I check my email on the site their is no body text that is displayed, just an attachment. I’m at a lost to figure out why and the forum closed down at the site that I followed the tutorial from.
Is there anything in the AS3 code below, or the php code that indicates why this could be the case. Am I miss something obvious?
AS3 code:
