PHP flash sendandload

[incjoe]

I'm brand spanking new to PHP. If I simply wanted to send back the variable I'm sending from flash, how would I do that?

flash code

var sendPacket:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
sendPacket.test = "howdy";
sendPacket.sendAndLoad("http://"+_root.HOST+"/swf/buyTestTicket.htmp", sendPacket, "POST");


php
echo "&testreturn=$POST['test']";

I can echo testreturn if I send a string, so I know the flash side is working. How do I access the variable I send to PHP?

hi,

What do you mean?
If you send a variable to the PHP script, you can store it in a variable and do what you want with it (email, store in a text file or database...)

$myvar = $POST['test'];
// do what you want with the variable 

But this is all...

What else do you want to do?
You may also send a variable back to flash:

$myvar = $POST['test'];
if ($myvar == 'howdy')
{
echo "&worked=yes&";
}
else
{
echo "&worked=no&";
} 

And in flash have and onLoad() to receive the variable from PHP:

code:

---

sendPacket.onLoad = function(ok)

{

if(ok)

{

 trace(this.worked);

}

else

{

 trace("error");

}

};
