Only, i dont have very much knowledge of php so in the login.php file i have no idea h0w to import the username and password variables into flash. Heres the login.php source file…

Hey there!

The answer to your first question is pretty easy. It’s one line of code:

```php

$ip = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REMOTE_ADDR"];
//then you can print it to Flash however you want:
print "&flashvar=".$ip;

```

The other question, I’m afraid I’m not sure. I’ve actually just started in PHP about a couple months ago and am still kinda new. Did you by chance read the tut I did on authentication?  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/authentication.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/authentication.htm)

It doesn’t use session ID’s; I’m not too sure how to do that yet. I have (on my favorites list) a bunch of links to PHP login stuff. I’ll post some of them. Maybe that tut will help you, I know it’s kind of simple, but it does do the job.
