I have taken a jist of the coding and posted here.

while ($mess = current($post_vars)) {
if ((key($post_vars)!="i") && (key($post_vars)!="your email here") && (key($post_vars)!="your name here")) {

$message.="<strong>".$mess[1]."</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;".$mess[0]."<br>";
}
next($post_vars);
}
/***************************************************************/
mail($_REQUEST['recipient'], $subject, "
<html>
<head>
<title>Contact letter</title>
</head>
<body>
<br>
".$message."
</body>
</html>" , $headers);
echo ("Your message was successfully sent!");

Now do you see a line like this
/*****************************************/

now that the place which i meant. Now instead of that line
put this statement first.

echo $mess;

Now get the message that is printed on your browser when you execute this script.

Now use this statement and do as i have said for the other statement.
echo current($post_vars);

Get me the message that is being displayed on the screen, so that i can analyse the problem better and come out with a solution.

Ok ok, i went back and read what he posted, i noticed the
PHP: 
mail($_REQUEST['recipient'], $subject, "
So i added it, but look at my current code, is it correct so far? I'm sorry I am a bit confused...

Code: 
<?
Error_Reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
 while ($request = current($_REQUEST)) {
     if (key($_REQUEST)!='recipient') {
        $pre_array=split ("&777&",  $request);
        $post_vars[key($_REQUEST)][0]=$pre_array[0];
        $post_vars[key($_REQUEST)][1]=$pre_array[1];
    }
    next($_REQUEST);
}
 
reset($post_vars);
$subject="From ".$post_vars['your_name'][0] ; 
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; 
$headers.= "Content-Type: text/html;"; 
$headers.= "Charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; 
$headers.= "From: ".$post_vars['your_email'][0]; 
$message=''; 
while ($mess = current($post_vars))  
{ 
    if ((key($post_vars)!="i") && (key($post_vars)!="your email here") && (key($post_vars)!="your name here"))  
    { 
         $message.="<strong>".$mess[1]."</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;".$mess[0]."<br>";   
    } 
        next($post_vars); 
}
mail($_REQUEST['recipient'], $subject, "
<html>
<head>
<title>Contact letter</title>
</head>
<body>
<br>
".$message."
</body>
</html>"; 
[u][b]mail("shigerumiyamoto1@yahoo.com", $subject, $message, $headers);[/b][/u] 
echo ("Your message was successfully sent!");  
?>
<script>
    resizeTo(300, 300);
</script>

Compare the QWOTED code that sunil posted with my surrect contact.php code... the BOLD and underlined line is not in the code that sunil posted, but it is still present in my contact.php, what should i do with it?

And then, what do i do next? Testing that code, which code, where exactly? please repeat the specific instructions please, I'm really 0% expereince with php or any coding language... :/ again thanks for understanding.

Try the following. This is your original contact.php code from your first post but with your email address instead of what was there originally and the addition of the command to tell us what message is to be sent.

Send an email and copy what was in the contact.php that is displayed.

PHP: 
<?
Error_Reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

 while ($request = current($_REQUEST)) {
     if (key($_REQUEST)!='recipient') {
        $pre_array=split ("&777&",  $request);
        $post_vars[key($_REQUEST)][0]=$pre_array[0];
        $post_vars[key($_REQUEST)][1]=$pre_array[1];
    }
    next($_REQUEST);
}



reset($post_vars);


$subject="From ".$post_vars['your_name'][0] ;
$headers= "From: ".$post_vars['your_email'][0] ."\n";
 $headers.='Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1';
 $message='';
  while ($mess = current($post_vars)) {
      if ((key($post_vars)!="i") && (key($post_vars)!="your email here") && (key($post_vars)!="your name here")) {

         $message.="<strong>".$mess[1]."</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;".$mess[0]."<br>";
    }
    next($post_vars);
 }

print_r($mess);

mail("shigerumiyamoto1@yahoo.com", $subject,  "
<html>
<head>
 <title>Contact letter</title>
</head>
<body>
<br>
  ".$message."
</body>
</html>" , $headers);
echo ("Your message was successfully sent!");

?>
<script>
    resizeTo(300, 300);
</script>

Here is what it sent:


Here is the first(top) email:


Here is the second(bottom) email:


Is that the info that you requested? If not, please explain it so i can understand and cooperate better. :)

Well that didn't work... It should've displayed the message in a different format before printing "Your message was successfully sent".

Try this instead to see what info comes from the email form - as before just send one email and post the contents of contact.php. You don't need to post the email content since this won't have changed.

PHP: 
<?
Error_Reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

print_r($_REQUEST);

 while ($request = current($_REQUEST)) {
     if (key($_REQUEST)!='recipient') {
        $pre_array=split ("&777&",  $request);
        $post_vars[key($_REQUEST)][0]=$pre_array[0];
        $post_vars[key($_REQUEST)][1]=$pre_array[1];
    }
    next($_REQUEST);
}

reset($post_vars);

$subject="From ".$post_vars['your_name'][0] ;
$headers= "From: ".$post_vars['your_email'][0] ."\n";
 $headers.='Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1';
 $message='';
  while ($mess = current($post_vars)) {
      if ((key($post_vars)!="i") && (key($post_vars)!="your email here") && (key($post_vars)!="your name here")) {

         $message.="<strong>".$mess[1]."</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;".$mess[0]."<br>";
    }
    next($post_vars);
 }

mail("shigerumiyamoto1@yahoo.com", $subject,  "
<html>
<head>
 <title>Contact letter</title>
</head>
<body>
<br>
  ".$message."
</body>
</html>" , $headers);
echo ("Your message was successfully sent!");

?>
<script>
    resizeTo(300, 300);
</script>

The characters seem to be some sort of cookie information so I am guessing its coming from the form. Why you would need it I don't know and seems a bit odd to me. If you do the above we might be able to change the code to show only the info you want.

Try this now.


PHP: 
<?
Error_Reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

 while ($request = current($_REQUEST)) {
     if (key($_REQUEST)!='recipient') {
        $pre_array=split ("&777&",  $request);
        $post_vars[key($_REQUEST)][0]=$pre_array[0];
        $post_vars[key($_REQUEST)][1]=$pre_array[1];
    }
    next($_REQUEST);
}



reset($post_vars);


$subject="From ".$post_vars['your_name'][0] ;
$headers= "From: ".$post_vars['your_email'][0] ."\n";
 $headers.='Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1';

$mess=$_REQUEST['message'];
$message=substr($mess,0,strlen($mess)-5);

mail("shigerumiyamoto1@yahoo.com", $subject,  "
<html>
<head>
 <title>Contact letter</title>
</head>
<body>
<br>
  ".$message."
</body>
</html>" , $headers);
echo ("Your message was successfully sent!");

?>
<script>
    resizeTo(300, 300);
</script>

There's a lot of other info coming from the form which seems unnecessary but just the basic info should be enough for most people!

Um i didn't get ANY email that time or the last two times i think... nope no emails received... what happened this time?

remember that the contact.php is tied together with the flash site and the contact.asp as well, so changing too much might cause discrepancies..?

Strange - I just tested this on my system and it works!!

I used the data I got you to print out using the print_r($_REQUEST) line - put that into an identical copy of your contact.php form (except for changing the email address to mine) and it worked fine. No dodgy characters etc... So the code must be OK.

I did it again using your email address - let me know if it got through.

Note that the mail() function is totally independent of the flash template. The flash template passes some info to the contact.php page which is why I wanted that print of $_REQUEST. This is what comes from the flash template. After that it is just a case of taking what you want and putting it in the mail() function.

I used exactly the same code but went through my mail server. So the contact.php that I last posted works... If it doesn't work still then there must be another problem not related to the code - mail server or spam checker etc.

The extra data was deliberately sent by the Flash template - why, I don't know. It might be useful to some people but seems over the top to me.

well now with that last contact.php code you posted(which you told me to use, because it works), i wont receive any emails at all.... here it is...

PHP: 
<?
Error_Reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

 while ($request = current($_REQUEST)) {
     if (key($_REQUEST)!='recipient') {
        $pre_array=split ("&777&",  $request);
        $post_vars[key($_REQUEST)][0]=$pre_array[0];
        $post_vars[key($_REQUEST)][1]=$pre_array[1];
    }
    next($_REQUEST);
}



reset($post_vars);


$subject="From ".$post_vars['your_name'][0] ;
$headers= "From: ".$post_vars['your_email'][0] ."\n";
 $headers.='Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1';

$mess=$_REQUEST['message'];
$message=substr($mess,0,strlen($mess)-5);

mail("admin@myframeshopgallery.com", $subject,  "

This is why I thought it was strange. I tried the exact same code on my mailserver and it worked fine! I'll try again but on my x10hosting website and see if it still works. If it does you should get a mail from my test. I will use adminATmyframeshopgalleryDOTcom and shigerumiyamoto1ATyahooDOTcom to test...
Edit:
.
Done - I got the email to my address so the contact.php page works and my test proves that there are no problems with the x10 mail server.

We know the flash template is passing information to contact.php from the print_r($_REQUEST) command you did before.

So that leaves either a problem with your mail address or there is something else happening when the flash template runs.

I'm not sure what else I can do for you short of hosting your flash template and testing it again then!!
