I am trying to intergrate a PHP file (which does work when directly accessed). The PHP file shows a list of shows in a table from a MySQL database. I have used the Flash, PHP and MySQL tutorial to help me, I’ve done the ActionScript file, the text box and the include function but when I upload the SWF file and go to it the text box is blank, no PHP file is displayed. When I did a preview in Flash, in the output box it said Malformed #include directive but it is same as the one in the tutorial except with a different file name. What is wrong?

make sure that you used the correct sintax for the include… and also make sure you DON’T put a **[color=red];[/color]** sign after that include line.
