So I’ve done several hours of web searching how to call a php function from flash and found a lot of out of date, or otherwise less than helpful stuff…
So here’s where I’m at. I have a mysql db set up, I have a php file written, and I have a flash swf sitting on an HTML page. I can get the Flash page (via AS3) to open the php file, and execute all of the code there in… this includes using $_POST to change some data, then UPDATE and SELECT from the db…
What I cannot figure out is how to call a specific php function from AS3. The only two solutions I can think of are to either pass a function name into php using POST and then switch that string to the function it needs to call… or have a seperate .php file for every single “function” I would need to call…
I’ve done some preliminary looking at the amfphp stuff, but that simply looks like a string formatting standard for communication between php and other languages.
Any current links or other help would be appreciated. (Already seen a lot of 6 year old posts from Kirupa, but they seemed dated in their material… is there anything more recent?)
