for a little project i’m working on i’ve been trying to come up with a way to store a variable relative to date with mysql and php and then have that variable loaded into flash to then be worked with through actionscripting.

to clarify a bit - im thinking that the database stores how long an object has been in the flash movie in certain increments (days for example) and then flash loads this data so that i could do something like if(days==3){ and go from there. this is being used for age so my end result will be if this is so and so days old, then it will do this. i know how to work with the variables inside flash but it’s php that i have next to no knowledge on so any help is appreciated.

ive looked around here a bit and haven’t seen any topics lately about this so i figured it’d be alright that i made my own topic.
