I'm almost embarrased to be posting this see as how there are a million questions pertaining to forms. But as it is I have yet to find one that can fully relate to my issue.

I'm designing this site for a client and they want a webform with many questions (25 to be exact). I managed to get the Flash working:p but now I need the form to communicate with PHP (which I don't know) and send the data to my client's email address (or a database). Looking at other forms I've seen the usual "$sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers" but obviously I will need to send information from 25 text boxes rather than just one message box. Any ideas on how I would do this?

You'll definitely need to learn PHP in order to do this. Here's a good resource: http://w3schools.com/php/default.asp

http://www.php.net is also a good place to get bits and pieces.

The best way to learn, however, is through example...by finding how other people have used PHP to do what it is that you are trying to do. Here are some links:
