I’m sending a series of integers from Flash using sendAndLoad, simmilar to:

infoSend.imageTotal = 3  
infoSend.imageNum1 = 435  
infoSend.imageNum2 = 45  
infoSend.imageNum3 = 9

infoSend.sendAndLoad(“http…”, infoLoad, “POST”);

my question is, how do I parse the data on the PHP side?

right now I have a while loop

while( $i \<= $imageTotal){  
[color=Red] $tempID = $imageNum[$i];[/color]  
$result = mysql\_query(‘SELECT \* FROM tbl\_mov WHERE movID=’.$tempID.’’,$dbcnx);  
$data = mysql\_fetch\_array($result);  
$str = $data[‘img\_thumb’];  
echo ‘&imgID=’.$i;  
echo ‘&imgLoc=’.$str;  
$i++;  
};

the line in red is the only one I know isn’t working… anyone know how to structure it?

I suggest using $\_POST[’’]; on all the variables that were sent from flash  
e.g. $\_POST[‘imageTotal’];

and for the tempID part. I can only say that u need eval(); Right now you’re tryng to get the $i-th member of the “imageNum” array but you have variables.

I haven’t used eval much so I can’t give u the right code :to:

I found the answer, basically called variable variables, link here:

[http://php.he.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php](http://php.he.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php)

what I did was:

while( $i \<= $imageTotal){  
[color=Red] $tempStr = ‘$imageNum’.$i;  
$tempID = ${$tempStr};[/color]  
$result = mysql\_query(‘SELECT \* FROM tbl\_mov WHERE movID=’.$tempID.’’,$dbcnx);  
$data = mysql\_fetch\_array($result);  
$str = $data[‘img\_thumb’];  
echo ‘&imgID=’.$i;  
echo ‘&imgLoc=’.$str;  
$i++;  
};
