Are you talking about this article: Simple feedback form ? If so, there's some variables that need to be udpated for newer versions of PHP. Newer versions change the default of a configuration value; register_globals now defaults to off. This means that ie the $email variable in that article would need to be changed to $_POST['email'] as well as changing the other variables used in the form.

Ok, change your code to look like this:

PHP Code:
<?
mail( "billy@designers-united.com",  "Feedback Form Results", $_POST['message'], "From: {$_POST['email']}" );
header( "Location: http://keyworthgraphics.com/thankyou.html" );
?>

Ooh. Well unfortunately, I know absolutely nothing about Flash or ActionScript. Is it using the POST or GET method to submit to your PHP script?
You might try using a regular HTML form using the POST method, for testing purposes. If it works with HTML, then the problem is somewhere in your Flash.
