[jaroro]

Hello, I'm new here, I tried looking for help with my PHP forms but I couldn't find any, so I found this web site, looks great!! so I hope someone here can help me out. I created a web page with an email form in flash, I followed a tutorial in Kirupa, I gave all the box text inputs a variable and then theres a code that send the information to the PHP. But oh well, it doesn't work.. Ill post it here, I hope someone can help me I've created lots of web sites, but I just don't understand PHP.

You need to put your code inside

 tags for readability. 
What's not working? Where is your form? What do the error messages say?

[nloding]

Does the $msg variable get echo'd?  Where does the code fail?  Do you see 'message sent' or 'message failed'?  What fails?

 

And yes, as next said, put your code in code tags (it's the "#" button at the top of the reply box).

Sorry its just that I copied pasted the code from a tutorial I found online so Im not quite sure I understand the "echo" and the message sent or failed, beacause I didnt type that sort of code in the flash page, so..  if the user what ever he writes down on the web page leaving a space blank or not it should get sent to the email.. but no email gets sent...

The best way to troubleshoot this is to build a new simple page that just uses the mail() function.  This way you can see if you even have it working correctly.  The first thing I noticed is that you are not using the forth header parameter for mail().  Some webhosts require a FROM: header in order for mail to be sent.
