sending value from flash as2 to php script

[capdetrons]

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:

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:

<?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
