Gladly?

Someone said " thank you" to me, may I use gladly to express my mood of "you're welcome", "not at all", "no problem" , and so forth? Won't it mean I'm gladly accepting that person's thank?

No. 'Gladly' indicates that you are happy to perform a requested action. eg A: Can you wrap it up for me, please?

No. Language formulas are just formulas. There are a limited number of ways to say certain things, and it's not a good idea to start making up your own ways of saying them.

Ok. For fear of create unnecessary misunderstandings, I'd better obey the laws. Thanks!
