Hi. I’ve been using ActionScript for over a year now and been loving it. I’ve recently started learning PHP but have a problem.

I have a php script inside some html. In the swf on a seperate page, I use LoadVars.sendAndLoad() to send variables to the php script (which works fine). But instead of receiving the variable “$output”, I receive a few html tags in the LoadVars receiving object and no $output variable!

Anyone experienced a similar thing before? As I’ve only been using PHP for 4 days, I’m probably missing something blindingly obvious.

Many thanks

Cue blindingly obvious solution…
