Appending XML with Flash & PHP
Hey all,
I'm doing a church website and I'm trying to create an app where someone from the church can upload a preacher's sermon and it will be added to the mp3 player that I created (which is driven by an XML file). So, after doing some research I realized that I have to do this in PHP, but I can't get it to work.
Everything on the Flash side appears to be working properly and I'm not getting any errors, but there is no mp3 file uploaded to my server and the XML file is not updated. Can you guys help me? FYI, I'm using AS 3.0.
Here's my PHP:
PHP Code:
<?php
/*

*/
// Set local PHP vars from the POST vars sent from flash
$todayDate = $_POST['todayDate'];
$Speaker = $_POST['Speaker'];
$Date = $_POST['sermonDate'];
$Title = $_POST['Title'];
$filename = $_FILES['Filedata']['name'];
$filetmpname = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'];
$fileType = $_FILES["Filedata"]["type"];
$fileSizeMB = ($_FILES["Filedata"]["size"] / 1024 / 1000);
// Place file on server, into the sermons folder
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], "sermons/sermons/".$filename);
// This section edits your log file, if you don't need a text log file just delete these lines
$myFile = "logFile.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'a') or die("can't open file");
$stringData = "\n\ntodayDate: $todayDate \n Name: $Name \n Email: $Email \n ssid: $ssid \n FileName: $filename \n TmpName: $filetmpname \n Type: $fileType \n Size: $fileSizeMB MegaBytes";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh);
// End log file edit
//Appending to the current XML file
//Creating a new DomDocument
$xdoc = new DomDocument;
//Loading in the current XML file
$xdoc->Load('http://www.wagramchurchofgod.com/sermons/xmlTest.xml');
//getting the ROOT element (in this case, it's "songs")
$songs = $xdoc->getElementsByTagName('songs')->item(0);
//creating a new "song" element underneat the root
$newElement = $xdoc ->createElement('song');
//adding the URL attribute to the new song element
$url = $xdoc->createAttribute("url");
$newElement->appendChild($url);
$urlValue = $dom->createTextNode("sermons/".$filename);
$url->appendChild($urlValue);
//adding the PREACHER attribute to the new song element
$preacher = $xdoc->createAttribute("preacher");
$newElement->appendChild($preacher);
$preacherValue = $dom->createTextNode($Speaker);
$preacher->appendChild($preacherValue);
//adding the DATE attribute to the new song element
$myDate = $xdoc->createAttribute("date");
$newElement->appendChild($myDate);
$myDateValue = $dom->createTextNode($Date);
$myDate->appendChild($myDateValue);
//adding the TITLE attribute to the new song element
$myTitle = $xdoc->createAttribute("title");
$newElement->appendChild($myTitle);
$myTitleValue = $dom->createTextNode($Title);
$myTitle->appendChild($myTitleValue);
//adding the new element, WITH ATTRIBUTES, to the <SONGS> element in the XML file
$songs -> appendChild($newElement);
//Saving the XML file and printing the results to the $test variable
$test = $xdoc->save("http://www.wagramchurchofgod.com/sermons/xmlTest.xml");
echo "<B>Data Appended<B>";
echo $test;
?>
And here's my Actionscript (if you need it):
PHP Code:
stop();
btnSermons.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showSermons);
function showSermons(e:MouseEvent):void
{
btnEvents.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showEvents);
btnSermons.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showSermons);
Tweener.addTween(btnEvents, {x:639, time:1, transition:"easeOutQuint"})
Tweener.addTween(mcSermonsPage, {x:328, time:1, transition:"easeOutQuint"})
}
function showEvents(e:MouseEvent):void
{
btnSermons.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showSermons);
btnEvents.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showEvents);
Tweener.addTween(btnEvents, {x:89, time:1, transition:"easeOutQuint"})
Tweener.addTween(mcSermonsPage, {x:-222, time:1, transition:"easeOutQuint"})
}
