PHP store muliple variable in txt

[bounceboy]

Hi... I'm now pretty familiar to how PHP works with flash.

I know how to send variables from flash to PHP, how to write a variable from PHP to a txt file and then how to get variables from a text file to flash.

Yay! It all works good!!!

not quite.

I'm trying to make a highscore game. each level has its own one highscore as well as the name of the person on top.

anyway to get stuff from flash to PHP is simple I know all that.

fwrite($file, "score=".$score);

yeah uh, how do I make it write 2 things without them intefering?

is it like:

fwrite($file, "score=".$score);
fwrite($file, "name=".$name);

well thanks to anybody who will help.

$vars=$name.":".$score; // : is a delimiter, so $vars=bounceboy:99999
fwrite($file, $vars);

when you retrieve the data in Flash, split the values by the delimiter

[bounceboy]

ummm delimiter???

[hunty93]

A delimiter is used to specify the boundarys

e.g


this-is-example | delimiter = " - "
this:is:example | delimiter = " :"
this,is,example | delimiter = " , "

[bounceboy]

how do I split the variables by the delimiter?

listen... Is there a way to make arrays in PHP?

[hunty93]

to split....use explode

<?php

$q = "hello,i,am,hunty";
$arr = explode(',',$q);
$i = 0;
while ($i < count($arr)) {
echo $arr[$i];
$i++;
}

?>

Hey thatnk you but I meant in flash when i load the variables.

but who cares, I got it to work easy like this:

<?php
$score = $_POST[score];
$name = $_POST[name];
$myfile = fopen("score1.txt","r");
$fp = fwrite($myfile, "&score=".$score);
$fp = fwrite($myfile, "&name=".$name);
fclose($myfile);
print "&response=".$text;
?>

It worked... so I did this to all 6 of the data writers.

I also re-uploaded the txt files and now they don't work.

I submit highscores and It won't change them a bit... its like my PHP script isn't working now that there's 6 that are similar...?

or is it something to do with the code i used in flash:

saver = new LoadVars();
reader = new LoadVars();
desnum = _root.design;
function submit(){
saver.score = _root.clicks;
saver.name = username;
saver.sendAndLoad("score/make"+desnum+".php",reader,"POST");
}
reader.onLoad = function(suc){
if(suc){
prevFrame();
}
}

Somebody please help me... thank you!

im quite tired ,, but just made a example of receiving vars in flash

on (release) {
	desnum = _root.design;
	var result_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
	result_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
		if (success) {
			var my_str:String = this.infoA;
			var my_array:Array = my_str.split(",");
			highscore = "name:  "+my_array[0]+"  score:  "+my_array[1];
			trace(highscore);
		} else {
			result_ta.text = "Error connecting to server.";
		}
	};
	var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
	send_lv.score = _root.clicks;
	send_lv.name = username;
	send_lv.sendAndLoad("score/make"+desnum+".php", result_lv, "GET");
}

and in php make it parse the array like this:

echo "&infoA=" . $name . "," . $score . "&"; 

not tested but...it should all work

hope this is anyhelp at all..if not... specify in detail what you want...and ill make it my self.
