Re: FLASH: SuperFly CGI !

[PSWoods]

that kind of thing is SuperEasy to do with Perl (anyone remember Perl)?


i seem to remember there being a lot of interest in this among people who

built games - to save a high score or something. this code will read all

your value pairs and write a text file in urlencoded form that flash can

read. it will overwrite the file each time you call it.


#!c:\Perl\bin\Perl


#use strict;

use CGI qw(:standard);

$cur = CGI->new();


#change this to a good location

$fileLocation="C:/x/tempfile.txt";



if (param()) {

 &printer;

} else


 print "errorMsg\=error";

}


sub printer{

&openFile;

@stuff = param();

foreach (@stuff){

print MYFILE $_;

print MYFILE "\=";

print MYFILE $cur->param($_);

print MYFILE "\&";

}

&closeFile;

}



#this was made on a Win machine. you might have trouble with file locking on

a X-nix server.

sub openFile{

open (MYFILE, ">$fileLocation") || die "Can't open: $!";

($LOCK_EX = 2) || die"canot flock: $!";

}


sub closeFile{

truncate(MYFILE, tell(MYFILE)) || die "Can't truncate: $!";

close(MYFILE) || die "Can't close: $!";

}
