:-\

I’m a bit perplexed. I’m entirely new to Flash MX, and am stuck as to how to create a form that POSTs it’s variables to a .php script.

My “process.php” -

foreach($HTTP\_POST\_VARS as $key=\>$value) {  
echo “The value of index $key is $value\<br /\>”;  
}

Is there something wrong with the attached ‘basic.fla’? I’m just trying to grasp forms in Flash as an introduction. As I’ve understood it, the only action your button needs (w/ onrelease) is -

loadVariablesNum(“process.php”, 0, “POST”);

But when I submit information via the attached flash form, no variables are being sent to the server (linux w/apache). I’m missing something, I’m just not sure what.

Any suggestions or (good) tutorials I can be pointed to are appreciated.

Thanks.
