Webmaster Forum / Flash / Data Integration / August 2007

I am trying to get a simple guestbook/shoutbox working for a buddy's site, but
am having trouble getting the form data to save back to the xml file. I can
load the xml into flash no problem. The server side script was written in php
and does not  look for a variable but uses "$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA; " which I
guess just posts the data in raw format however it recieves it. I have not
however been able to find an asp equivalent to this. The php code is as
follows:
[Q]<?php
$file = fopen("guestbook.xml", "w+") or die("Can't open XML file");
$xmlString = $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA;
if(!fwrite($file, $xmlString)){
    print "Error writing to XML-file";
}
print $xmlString."\n";
fclose($file);
?>[/Q]
I tried using this asp script, but with no luck:
[Q]<%
Dim objFSO, theFile, theData, objFileStream
set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
theFile = "guestbook1.xml"
theData = Request.Form("")

If Not objFSO.FileExists(theFile) Then
    ' I figure it is best to error check first
    Response.Write "Sorry, this file does not exist."
Else
    ' We have a file!
    set objFileStream = objFSO.OpenTextFile(theFile, ForAppending)
    objFileStream.WriteLine(theData)
    objFileStream.Close
    set objFileStream = nothing
    Response.Write theData
End If

set objFSO = nothing
%>[/Q]

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am spending way to much time on this.
