Php form mailer/Flash help

Question

I have a php form that I am using with my Flash file. It
works great so far, but I would like to get confirmation from the
php in the Flash file, that the info has really been sent. I think
it is already sent up in the php, but I don't know how to handle it
in my Flash file. The php file is attached. Do I use the echo? How
would I do that? What I want, is in my Flash file to say sending,
until I get then feedback from the php, and then say, sent
successfully.
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!
