Hi, I’m very new to PHP, so bear with me. I’m sending text from Flash to a PHP script so that it can be written to a text or xml file. Here’s the script:

\<?php  
$filename = “myFolder/results.xml”;  
$raw\_xml = file\_get\_contents(“php://input”);

print $raw\_xml;

$fp = fopen($filename, “w”);  
fwrite($fp, $raw\_xml);  
fclose($fp);  
?\>

This works fine, but what I’d like to do is name the output file from flash. Would it be possible to do something like set a variable that’s from the first word of the input file’s contents, and use that as the file name?

Thanks.
