Re: FLASH: Flash and php3

[Fr�d�ric Pierron / Blast Interaction]

Pablo,


You can get or send variables to/from a flash 4 movie with php3 exactly as

you do with html form with GET/POST method.


Here's an example with an mySQL function :


------START SCRIPT

/* Open the connexion with the database */

$hote      = "serverhost";

$login     = "mylog";

$pwd       = "mypwd";

$table   = "mydb";

$dbname    = "mytable";


MYSQL_CONNECT($hote,$login,$pwd) OR

DIE("Connection pas possible ");


/* tell mySQL to use this database */

$query = "USE $dbname";

$result = MYSQL_QUERY($query);


/* Getting the variables from the flash and inserting in a table at the same

time */

/* As you can see, you do nothing special with php, all the variables you've

created with Flash */

/* are parsed automagically by the php parser */

/* So you can use it immediatly in a SQL command */



        $query="

        INSERT INTO $table


(myName,mySurname,myWeb,myEmail,myTel,myMetier,myDetail,myLowprice,myMiddlep

rice,myStatut,myRemarque)

        VALUES

        ('$myName','$mySurname','$myWeb','$myEmail','$myTel','$myMetier',


'$myDetail','$myLowprice','$myMiddleprice','$myStatut','$myRemarque')";


        $result = MYSQL_QUERY($query);


?>

------ END SCRIPT


What you have to do in flash :

1/ make some text box with the field flag enabled

2/ name all the text box by the name of the variables you'll catch in php

(for example, i had a text box named 'myMetier')

3/ make a button that handle the script that will send the data (Load

Movie/Load variable/send variable/post or get method)


That's all.


Caution : becarefull with the path.
