Php form mailer help

Question

I have this form that I got to work with my flash file. There
is part of the php that should send an acknowledgement email and it
seems to be not working. I am wondering if someone could explain
what I am missing.
I think I have everything working down to line 16. After
that, I think I understand what is going on, but might be missing
some things.
How can I use the echo and &Status to make sure in my
Flash file that the form actually got send?
Thanks a lot for any help!

It is all inside an ifStatment that is inside a function,
which gets called by the button that send the form. Here is the
full thing.
function validateForm(tName:String, tEmail:String,
tSubject:String, tMsg:String):Void {
trace("validateForm was called");
if (tName == "" || tName == undefined) {
trace("tName if");
this.showAlertMsg("Please enter your name");
} else if (tEmail == "" || tEmail == undefined ||
tEmail.indexOf("@") == -1 || tEmail.indexOf(".") == -1) {
trace("Invalid email address: "+tEmail+" infexOf1:
"+tEmail.indexOf("@")+" indexOf2: "+tEmail.indexOf("."));
this.showAlertMsg("Invalid email address");
} else if (tSubject == "" || tSubject == undefined) {
trace("tSubject if");
this.showAlertMsg("Please enter a subject");
} else if (tMsg == "" || tMsg == undefined) {
trace("tComments if");
this.showAlertMsg("Please enter some comments");
} else {
trace("the else was called...");
var send_lv = new LoadVars();
//send_lv.onLoad = ShowStatus;
//send_lv.EmailType = "Quote";
send_lv.Name = tName;
send_lv.FromEmail = tEmail;
send_lv.Subject = tSubject;
send_lv.Comments = tMsg;
send_lv.status = "";
send_lv.sendAndLoad("php/sendContact.php",result_lv,"Post");
this.showAlertMsg("Sending...");
var submitListener:Object = new Object();
submitListener.click = function(evt:Object) {
var result_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
result_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
this.tf_showAlertMsg.text = "Thank you for sending us an
email";
} else {
this.tf_showAlertMsg.text = "Email did not go through";
function showAlertMsg(msg:String):Void {
this.tf_showAlertMsg.text = "";
this.tf_showAlertMsg.text = msg;
this.send_btn.onRelease = function() {
validateForm(tf_Name,tf_Email,tf_Subject,tf_Comments);
I tried the new way Dave posted and it still does not get the
echo from the form.
Thanks so much to both of you for the help!
