sending value from flash as2 to php script

Hi,

I have posted before about the same issue but very probably not in the right way. I think I was running a old php version when those files worked for me and now I have read that the syntax has changed an so on...

All I want to do is try to understand php loading variables from flash from scratch.

I am basing on this tutorial example file where you send and receive only one variable.

the code in flash is as follows:

Code:

---

var myload:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
button.onRelease = function():Void
{
        myload.myans = myans_txt.text;
        myload.onLoad = function(checkAnswer:Boolean)
        {
                if (checkAnswer)
                {
                        news.text = myload.ans;
                }
        };
        myload.sendAndLoad("http://localhost/test.php",myload,"POST");
};

---

in the php side:

PHP Code:

---

<?phpif($_POST[string]){
    $upper = strtoupper($_POST[string]);
    echo "result=You just wrote $upper";
}
else{
    echo "result=You did not write anything";    
}
 
?>

---

this worked before I installed the newest version of WAMP with php 5.4.12. Is it deprecated perhaps? I would appreciate any help on beginning php. Not that I haven't googled, but I haven't been able to find a very simple updated example of sending variables in AS2

thanks

Hi Cap,

not sure what you're asking here really, but it has nothing to do with wamp, php file

PHP Code:

---

<?php

    $upper = strtoupper($_POST['PartA']);
    
    if($upper)
    {
        echo "&answer=You just wrote ".$upper;
    }
    else
    {
        echo "&answer=You did not write anything";
    }
    
?>

---

and flash file

PHP Code:

---

// *** Send Data
function SubmitData()
{
    trace("Sending");

    var OutData = new LoadVars();
    OutData.PartA = news.text;
    
    var InData = new LoadVars();
    InData.onLoad = DataReturned;

    OutData.sendAndLoad("http://localhost/test.php",InData,"POST");
}
// *** Received data
function DataReturned()
{
    trace("Received");
    news.text = this.answer;
}
// *** Button press
button.onPress = function()
{
    SubmitData();
};

Thanks, FruitBeard,

I was very confused (as usual:))... I was merging two different tutorials in one without noticing...

One with text and another one with a simple mathematical quiz. This one seemed to be old, I just made it work adding the php tag it was missing.

All I want is to start from scratch and see if I can send email without the phpmailer I'm using. I think I should; I was only using it thinking I was sending email through smartfox's emailer system.

Thanks again,

see you
