total total newb question-

I'm learning flash 8.. in order to make a form in flash functional, there has to be some serverside script to receive the variables and then send them somewhere...

I guess my question is- how hard or how long do you think it would take an average guy to learn the basics of php, or asp or javascript, just enough to make a script that receives variables then sends their contents to an email address?

Server side means no javascript. To learn the basics of PHP (which I suggest) maybe would take about a week, to several months (depending on how much you want to learn).

I think I'll do that then :) any video/book recommendations?

Nope, just search around google.

I liked this site (http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/627), very helpful
And php.net (http://www.php.net/) is a useful resource, even though its really not written for the beginner
