Hi Guys,

I got a problem on how to send variable in and out within PHP and Flash. I
tried to follow the tutorial posted in this website but it doesnt work (the
tutorial used loadvarnum).

What I have done here is :
- Flash page (called : tessend.html) send a variable (called : name) to php
file (called : sendtoflash.php)
- I put the code below in the tessend.html (mc_button_submit_vars is a button):

mc_button_submit_vars.onPress = function ()
{
getURL ("sendtoflash.php", "_self", "POST");
};

- In sendtoflash.php, I put :
<?
$dataForTxtbox_1 = "Tes";
print("&textbData1=$dataForTxtbox_1");
echo "<script>";
echo "location = 'mydata.html'";
echo "</script>";
?>

- PHP file then calls the flash file : mydata.html.....the code inside
mydata.html is

myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function(){
placeTheDataIntoTheRightPlace();//call the function
};
myData.load("http://localhost/sendtoflash.php");
placeTheDataIntoTheRightPlace = function(){
txtBox1.text = myData.textbData1;
};

It does work well. But if I change the sendtoflash.php file into :
<?
$dataForTxtbox_1 = $_POST['name'];
print("&textbData1=$dataForTxtbox_1");
echo "<script>";
echo "location = 'mydata.html'";
echo "</script>";
?>

this doesnt work.......

Is there anybody can help me? I posted this question in other forum but
couldnt get a correct solution....
I just read the tutorial in the adobe.com about sendandload but it doesnt work
as well... in fact there is another person who has the same problem as mine....

Please give me any advice and detail explanation...:(

thank you
