Hi!

Here’s my problem in a nutshell. I have a database (mysql), then i get data from an external php file that connects to the database.

I use URLReqest and URLLoader to access the php file.

My question is, when i change data in my database, the change reflects in the php file. But when i access the php file from Flash, it doesn’t refresh. I have to make a new php file, then access this new file to get the updated data.

So it’s something like:  
Database value = “OLD VALUE”  
PHP file (test.php) when accessing DB = “OLD VALUE”  
Flash value (after using urlrequest etc to load test.php) = “OLD VALUE”

then I update my database and change it to…  
Database value = “NEW VALUE”  
PHP file (test.php)= “NEW VALUE”  
Flash value when accessing test.php = “OLD VALUE”

i have to rename test.php to test2.php or something to get the NEW VALUE into flash ☹

Any tips? 🙂  
thanks in advance!
