Hi Tristan,
friends of ED publishers are releasing a book called Foundation PHP for Flash at the end of October that may be able to help you out.
There’s an accompanying support site for the book at [www.phpforflash.com/](http://www.phpforflash.com/) which will be up and running soon.
You could try asking around in their forum [friendsofed.infopop.net/2/OpenTopic](http://friendsofed.infopop.net/2/OpenTopic)
Hope this proves useful - good luck in your PHP for Flash quest, my friend 🙂

there’s a good book out there called “Server-Side Flash” which is really good. i didn’t have the money at the time to make it my own, but i spent bout an hour at the bookstore reading it. it’s more cgi/perl/php/etc than it is flash. it goes into detail creating scripts and a couple things on connecting with flash. i’d buy it ($30).

A lot of the friends of ED books are great. I’m going to be updating my site in a few with a re-designed books section that will include Flash, PHP, programming, and other books that are relevant to Flash designers!

I read somewhere that all you have to do to combine flash with php is make flash submit to a php url, and the phpurl returns (as text) a string of variables in the form “variable=bla&variable2=bla” for communication. if this is true then then php4 plus flash5 and action script is near limitless i bet!
my main goal is to do things like online games that save information on the server based on the account.

Hi Folks!
Glad the excitement for the book is high!
Just though I’d drop by to let you know that the book isn’t released until the end of September, although you \* can\* preorder your copy at Amazon and other online bookstores.
Don’t forget to sign up for the mailing list at [www.phpforflash.com](http://www.phpforflash.com) to keep up to date with all the latest book news!

Hey Kirupa, will you be including Cold Fusion in that book. Especially now that macromedia owns CF, I can see the two going hand in hand as new versions come out.
