Hi all,

Question:

I want to set up a Flash file running on a website that connects to a backend DB for data retrieval using PHP. Easy enough. However, all I can find are basic tutorials using all the db code every time in every php file. I want to set this up on a website for concurrent usage. So I want to use PHP classes with ongoing sessions and db connections so every time my flash file / AS tries to call db functions I dont have to reconnect to the db and reselect my table and records to update. I also want to keep almost all of the code in the backend only using AS / Flash to pass values and display for user interaction.

What is the best way to accomplish something like this or is it even possible? Can they handle persistent connections/sessions?

Thanks,

Michael G Moran.
