    help with PHP and AC2

    So I want to write to a text file using php by calling in AC2. I keep trying to google answers and trying solutions but none are working. Maybe someone here could help?

    PHP
    PHP Code:
    <?php
    $fscrn 
    $_POST['fscrn']
    $saveTO "full=".$fscrn."&"

    $openTO fopen ("video.txt""a");
    fwrite($openTO$saveTO);
    fclose($openTO);
    ?>

    Code:
    function sendConfigVideo(setting)
    {
    	var videoVar = new LoadVars();
    	videoVar.fscrn = "true";
    	videoVar.sendAndLoad("config/video.php",videoVar,"POST");
    }
    I set permissions and everything, but it still doesn't work.

    location of txt and php are relative to the swf.

    yes,

    you code work ok except for ; missing in two place
    PHP Code:
    <?php

        $fscrn 
    $_POST['fscrn'];
        
    $saveTO "full=".$fscrn."&";
        
        
    $openTO fopen ("video.txt""w");
        
    fwrite($openTO$saveTO);
        
    fclose($openTO);

    ?>
    you might want "w" instead of "a" too as append text, not write each time.

    if you want append text then you need to do a little tweaking with if not empty file etc ect

    Still doesn't work. NOTE: It is not on a server, it is in a file on my computer. Could that be the problem?

    hell, you need to set up a server if you do not already have one http://www.wampserver.com/en/

    or you can use shared object with as2 without text file, plenty of information on this everware

    or you could use AS3 which can do it directly using FileReference(), no need for server or php

    Is a server necessary? I just want it to be in my file system. Is there any other way?

    i edit last answer, read over.

    you can use shared object with AS2, but no can save to text file without server side file if use AS2.

    you can manually use and edit the text file too.

    The thing is, I can pass variables through the php file, and it will echo in flash. I think the problem is with the code, not with php being local

    the script works fine, with the syntax fix that terrence mentioned so you just need:
    PHP Code:
    <?php

        $fscrn 
    $_POST['fscrn'];
        
    $saveTO "full=".$fscrn."&";
        
        
    $openTO fopen ("video.txt""w");
        
    fwrite($openTO$saveTO);
        
    fclose($openTO);

    ?>
    and your swf:
    PHP Code:
    function sendConfigVideo(setting){
        var 
    videoVar = new LoadVars();
        
    videoVar.fscrn "true";
        
    videoVar.sendAndLoad("video.php",videoVar,"POST");
    }
    _root.sendConfigVideo(); 
    maybe it doesnt work for you because you don't call the function

    if you still have the problems, zip up all you files and attach them here.
    you will get it to echo in flash, flash kind of have own server ish built in.
    you will not get it to work without server on own computer in broswer.

    use shared object in AS2 if not use server, use AS3 to do without shared object or server, straight forward, can use AS3 with shared object also.

    or maybe if you go back to flash 5 you can do it without server.

    no need always call things with _root at front part

    it would be more like "sendConfigVideo(someVar or String);" even though you not use setting in you code.
