Webmaster Forum / Flash / Data Integration / August 2008

Hello there,

I think the problem is in how you're capturing the variables in your PHP
script.  I created an example using your Actionscript code and it works fine.  
Instead of hard coding the values for the variables in the script, I created a
registration form and got the values from input textfields.  Once you hit the
SUBMIT button a window opens in the browser and a PHP file catches all the
submitted data and outputs the results.
Below is the code I used in both Flash and PHP files.  You can view the
example here and download the files here.

Hope that helps!

[ACTIONSCRIPT]

import flash.net.*;

submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, submitForm);
reset_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, resetForm);

function submitForm(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    var u:String = user_txt.text;
    var p:String = pass_txt.text;
    var e:String = email_txt.text;
    var t:int = 1;

    var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
    variables.reg_user = u;
    variables.reg_pass = p;
    variables.reg_mail = e;
    variables.sql_type = t;

    var url:String = "http://localhost/FLASH/register.php";
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
    request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
    request.data = variables;
    navigateToURL(request);
}

function resetForm(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    user_txt.text = "";
    pass_txt.text = "";
    email_txt.text = "";
}

[PHP]

<?php

echo "This is the array result that is returned from the Flash form<br><br>";

foreach($_POST as $key=>$val)
{
    echo "$key = $val <br>";
}

echo
"<br>----------------------------------------------------------------------<br><
br>";

echo "Registration results: ";

if(isset($_POST['reg_pass']))
{
    $pass = $_POST['reg_pass'];
    $user = $_POST['reg_user'];
    $email = $_POST['reg_mail'];

    if($pass == "" || $user == "" || $email == "")
    {
        echo "Please fill in all fields! <br>";
    } else {

        // Insert details into database

        echo "Thank you <strong>$user</strong>, you have been registered!
<br>";
    }
}

?>
