Hi All,

I have managed to connect to my database in flash using php. I need to be able to add records to the database using a flash interface.

Can anyone help?

Here is my existing code:

```auto

stop();

Security.allowDomain("*", "localhost:8888");

var dives_xml_url:String = "http://localhost:8888/pembrokeshire_diving/generate_wrecks_xml.php";

var dives:XML = new XML();
var dives_url:URLRequest = new URLRequest(dives_xml_url);
var divesLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(dives_url);

divesLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, divesLoaded);

function divesLoaded(e:Event):void
{
    dives = XML(divesLoader.data);
    
    
dives = XML(divesLoader.data);
var il:XMLList = dives.wrecks;
shipname_txt.text = il.ship.text();
depth_txt.text = il.dep.text();
locate_txt.text = il.loc.text();
    
}

```

Obviously I will also need to add buttons and text fields to facilitate adding the data but I wanted to know if it was possible first.

I am using PHP and MySQL with MAMP.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thank you
