Can you guys check out this script and tell me if I got everything right. For some reason it’s e-mailing me, but not all the variables that I want. I’m only getting an e-mail with a subject of FANTIMdotORG with no from address or anything like that.

```php

<? 

// Recieving and Creating Variables... 
$Name = $_POST['name']; 
$Email = "fantim@myrealbox.com"; 
$Message = $_POST['message']; 
$Subject = "FANTIMdotORG"; 
$Addy = $_POST['addy'];
$Header = "From: $Name <$Addy>"; 

//Performing Mail script... 
mail($Email, $Subject, $Message, $Header); 

?>

```

well you’re only telling the script to send the variable $Message. YOu don’t define anything else that is supposed to be contained within Message.

```php

<?php
 
   $to = "youremail@domain.com";
	 
                 $msg = "Name: $name

";
	 $msg .= "E-mail: $email

";
	 $msg .= "Phone: $phonenumber

";
                 $msg .= "Message: $message

";

  mail($to, $subject, $msg, "From: YourHomeSite
Reply-To: $email
");
	
?>

```

That’s it.

In your Flash you have to have fields, with variable names:

name

subject

email

phonenumber

message

the “send” button has to have the following code:

```php

on (release) {
		loadVariablesNum("mymailform.php", 0, "POST");
	}

```

That should do the trick. It’s as simple as it gets, 'cause I got the impression you’re not very experienced in doing something with php. Neither am I 🙂

Remember that this code does absolutely no checking whether the mail as sent or not. I recommend that you write a check bit in there also.

Shouldn’t be too hard, but I left something for you to solve too 🙂

Hope that helps.
