this is what ive done:

[PHP[

\<?  
// Recieving and Creating Variables…  
$Name = $\_POST[‘name’];  
$Email= $\_POST[‘email’];  
$Email = "spillargroove@hotmail.com";  
$Message = $\_POST[‘message’];  
$Subject = “Contact”;  
$Header = “From: $Name \<$Email\>”;

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

?\>

```auto

now everything working with the fla file and a msg sends to my inbox but when some user types his name, email, and message, willl it display his/her email address when i recieve the msg in my inbox?
```

Oh! i’m really sorry about this. No it won’t show. Use a separate variable for your email address.  
Yu could replace  
$Email = "spillargroove@hotmail.com";

with

$toEmail = "spillargroove@hotmail.com";

and then after $Header, use

$Message = $Email + "

" + $Message

I truly apologize for not going through it properly.

Like this:

```php

<?
// Recieving and Creating Variables...
$Name = $_POST['name'];
$Email= $_POST['email'];
$Message = $_POST['message'];
$toEmail = "spillargroove@hotmail.com";
$Subject = "Contact";
$Header = "From: $Name <$Email>";
$Message = $Email + "

" + $Message;

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

?>

```

The email of the sender will show at the top of the message

this is what it says in my msn:

From : dhd \<[spillarg@lycos.co.uk](mailto:spillarg@lycos.co.uk)\>  
Sent : Wednesday, 17 December 2003 3:01:02 PM  
To : [spillargroove@hotmail.com](mailto:spillargroove@hotmail.com)  
Subject : Contact

0 (this is the text msg area)

the "spillarg@lycos.co.uk" should be the sender’s email address  
and ive tested it with one of my friends and it doesnt show his address.
