I am using a PHP mail form and when I try it, I do receive the e-mail but with nothing in there???  
can anyone help? here is the code:

clear button:

on (release) {  
name = “”;  
subject="";  
message="";  
email="";  
}

send button:

on (release) {  
if (name eq “” or subject eq “” or message eq “” or email eq “”) {  
stop ();  
} else {  
loadVariablesNum (“form.php”, 0, “POST”);  
gotoAndStop (2);  
}  
}

php form:

\<?PHP  
$to = "you@domain.com";  
$msg = "$name

";  
$msg .= "$message

";  
mail($to, $subject, $msg, "From: [you@domain.com](mailto:you@domain.com)  
Reply-To: $email  
");

Can you strip the code out of your flash file?  
Its probally sending those vars from either the root or inside a movie clip and your not linking them properly.

Well, thats my say

also try doing this for each variable…

```php

$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$name = $_POST['name'];

//...etc...etc...etc...

```

Your host may have superglobals turned off and the PHP script isn’t catching the vars from the Flash file… the code above will fix it…
