Hello!

I currently have a login form in flash that needs to pass variables to a PHP script. That part works fine.

The problem I am having is that when Flash passes the variables to PHP, it also passes the style of the input text.

For example, instead of passing “atomstore”, it passes “\<TEXTFORMAT LEADING=“2”\>\<P ALIGN=“LEFT”\>\<FONT FACE=“Arial” SIZE=“12” COLOR=”#000000" LETTERSPACING=“0” KERNING=“0”\>atomstore\</FONT\>\</P\>\</TEXTFORMAT\>".

This does not match the “atomstore” in the database and results in an error. Can anyone help me get rid of all of these tags?

Thank you!
