Sending data to php

1

What is the problem with the following .fla which tries to send data from flash to php?

The php script is as follows:

<?php

$name=HTTP_POST_VARS[‘name’];
$comments=HTTP_POST_VARS[‘comments’];

echo $comments
?>

I get the following error when the .swf and .php are hosted on the lycos.co.uk server:

Parse error: parse error in /data/members/free/tripod/uk/m/y/p/myperception/htdocs/sendtophp.php on line 3

Please download the .fla and help.

just a typo but that is not the error;

<?
$name= $_POST['name'];
$comments= $_POST['comments'];

echo $comments;
?>

to ahmed:Thank you so much! I was so delighted to see Flash send data to php. Your reply solved the problem

Could you tell me what HTTP_POST_VARS and $_POST are? Also I saw something like:HTTP_RAW_POST_VARS.

Thanks again for the help, ahmed

glad it worked :wink:

$_POST is simply a rename for the old $HTTP_POST_VARS… the php community thought that the array’s name was too long, so they replaced it by a shorter one :slight_smile:

about the http_raw_post_vars, i didn’t deal with that before, but you’re welcome to look it up on the php.net documentation :beam:
