[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 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

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. -- David G.

I don't know if Colin Moock has a MX2004 version out yet. Hope this has been helpful - Miles -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.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. www.flash-remoting.com > -Original Message- > From: Miles Thompson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, April 02, 2004 11:14 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [PHP] Passing variables from Flash to PHP > > > At 10:44 AM 4/2/2004 -0800, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >On Thu, 1 Apr 2004, Edward Tilley wrote: > > > > > Hi - I am an IIS, PHP 4.3 new user running on Win2k server.
