I’m unfamiliar with PHP however I know the concepts behind it. I know nothing about XML except that it is used to store and get data. On a friend’s host he has PHP enabled and has set up a MySQL database for me.

My question is direct, but one of those pain in the \*\*\* “I know nothing show me exactly how to do this” type ones. How would one store an array of strings (with a size that is determined during runtime in the swf) from Flash (AS3) and then be able to get that array again during a later time, or another run of the swf?

If you need more information just say.
