Webmaster Forum / Flash / Data Integration / April 2008

I have coded a program to accept several text fields in Flash and then transfer
them (using a defined Class function, sendExample with sendPhp) and display
them with a pfp form. When I run the swf from my pc it transfers the data
correctly (the php file is on my hosted server.) However when I transfer the
swf to the server (along with the class I defined to do the transfer), the php
file is called but no data is transfered. What is missing from the server to
make the data transfer complete? No errors, just a php page with no data
inserted.

import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.text.TextField;
    import flash.events.*

    import flash.net.*;       
    import flash.net.URLVariables;

       
     var sendPhp:sendExample = new sendExample();
   

   
    function sendToPhp(evt:MouseEvent):void {
           
        var formUrl:String = "http://'mydomain'/message_form.php"
       
        var formData:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
       
        formData.message1= this.message1.text;
        formData.message2= this.message2.text;
        formData.message3= this.message3.text;
        formData.message4= this.message4.text;
        formData.message5= this.message5.text;
       
        formData.remoteSystem = this.remoteSystem.selectedItem;

   
        sendPhp.submitData(formUrl, formData);

       
    }
       
        submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sendToPhp, false, 0, true);
