I have a php script I cobbled together..
and when I target it directly in my browser (running through WAMP server)
it seems to do fine..
recursively searches through ALL text files in a given directory....
search line by line for a string match.. when found..it dumps that WHOLE line to an array (moves onto next file until done)..
when done.. I loop through this array.. dumping the contents to a .text file.
again..everything works fine.. (even if the php is messy..as I dont know much/any php)
the problem seems to happen when I try to pass in the 3 hard coded vars for the script from a Flash interface...
just doesnt seem to work..
I am using a sendAndLoad method from a LoadVars() object..
to pass in the 3 vars to the php script.. how I check to see if the php script is receiving them? (usually I would use echo or print..but I am sending the data from a flash movie..and not using getURL() or anything or lading a new browser..
just tryign to send it some data to be used in a few php functions.. and create a text file..
(my last step is I want to send a trigger/flag/message form php when the txt file has been created....but I cant even pass the data from flash for some reason?)
the problem is the first 3 vars in the script.. hardcoded..it works as it should..
when trying to pass those vars form FLASH (POST) using a sendAndLoad..no go.
PHP Code:<?php

what am I missing or doing wrong?
thanks
update:
28+ views in a few hours?..no body has a guess? suggest anything.. I just piece-meal'd this together. so any advice is helpful.
