Hello,

I am new to all server side stuff and I am using flash to create a simple email form for a Q and A section of my site. I used the php tutorial but it is not working and I am trying to figure out what I did wrong. It is a simple flash form with 5 named fields adhering to the example from this site. Here is the script that I used in the php. Can anybody help:

\<?php  
/\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\

- PHP 4.1.0+ version of email script. For more
- information on the mail() function for PHP, see

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*/

$sendTo = "christian\_gordy@mac.com";  
$subject = “ask rudi question”;

$headers = “From: " . $\_POST[“Name”] .” “. $\_POST[“lastname”] . “\<” . $\_POST[“email”] .”\>  
";

$headers .= “Reply-To: [christian\_gordy@mac.com](mailto:christian_gordy@mac.com)” . $\_POST[“email”] . "  
";

$message = $\_POST[“message”];  
$city = $\_POST[“city”];  
$state = $\_POST[“state”];

mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers, $city, $state);
