Ok, I get confused over this simple question all the time.

so I want to send variables to a PHP document to process and all.

in the PHP document it gets the variables I used with $_REQUEST

anyways how do I send the variables to the PHP document? SEVERAL WAYS.

here's one way:

load = new LoadVars();
load.stuff = 1;
load.sendAndLoad("stuff.php",load,"GET");

or

load.sendAndLoad("stuff.php",load,"POST");

I make it send and then load again so that I get a response.

i can also use this way:

load.load("stuff.php")

does it work the same?

also I see this alot and it has worked before for me in flash CS3 (AS 2.0):

loadVariables("load.php")

yeah sometimes I get confused on which one is most secure and which i should use to send variables.

so which out of the 4 should I use?
