[PHP] Passing variables from Flash to PHP
Hi - I am an IIS, PHP 4.3 new user running on Win2k server. I need to pass a
variable ( $flash = 1 ) back out to my PHP script and can't find any
examples of this working after 2 days of looking. I can't get a urldecode to
work and I don't want a WDDX because I don't see pertinent WinOS examples on
the .org website.
Other methods I've tried included running a
"getURL("change_flash_value.php") " script in Flash - the PHP script didn't
execute and the value of $flash didn't change in keeping.
Has anyone got a working example they can share with me?
Ed

It think you will want getURL("change_flash_value.php?flash=1") and then
grab the flash variable from the $_REQUEST array.
There is a great book called "Macromedia Flash MX Professional 2004 for
Server Geeks" by Nate Weiss (ISBN: 0735713820) that, while it doesn't have
PHP examples, does a great job of discussing Flash/server communication.

Use SendandLoad as was done here to pass vars to a php login script:
varSender = new LoadVars();
varReceiver = new LoadVars();
varSender.first_name = first_txt.text;
varSender.last_name = last_txt.text;
varSender.password = pass_txt.text;
varSender.action = 'login';
varSender.sendAndLoad("http://"+ host + "user_logon.php",
varReceiver, 'GET');
A copy of ActionScript for Flash MX, The Definitive Guide is really
helpful. I don't know if Colin Moock has a MX2004 version out yet.
Hope this has been helpful - Miles

RE: [PHP] Passing variables from Flash to PHP
O'Reilly's "Flash Remoting" discusses php examples fairly well although not
all the source files are available on their website like they claim.
