Hey all,

cant seem to get this to work, not sure why. I am following a kirupa tute which reads php file. Here is my code.

test.php:

```php

<?php
$x = "abc";
print $x;
print "myVar=$x";
?>

```

test.fla

on my movie clip which contains a dynamic text field called “myVar”

[AS]  
onClipEvent (load) {  
loadVariables(“[http://localhost/exp/bookorama/test.php](http://localhost/exp/bookorama/test.php)”, this, “GET”);  
}  
[/AS]

Please help 🙂 and thanks

the way you have the script set up outputs a variables called ‘abcmyVar’ (the print $x line)… try this

```php
<?php
$x = "abc";
print $x;
print "&myVar=$x";
?>

```

try this…

```auto
onClipEvent (load) {
        loadVariables("http://localhost/exp/bookorama/test.php", this);
}

```

and… are you sure the variable ‘myVar’ is placed IN that movieclip? 🙂

Wut up holmes?

In the fla file you put in the zip you had the text box named “Name”

But you named the variable in the PHP file “myVar”

If they matched then it would work fine…

yeah no problem. Anytime I am home feel free to IM me. I told you that I am more than happy to help you out. I’m working on a database driven Flash guestbook for a client of mine also… so that should be fun.

They have me working nights now tho, so it might be harder for you to reach me. Usually 5pm - 1am or so, so if you need something just leave an IM and i’ll get back to you when I can.

I’m in the process of looking for another job… something with day shifts…
