How do you upload information from variables in PHP to flash?  
I want my dynamic text box to upload information from the variable $msg.

I also have some questions about this code. I didn’t know how to do everything I had here, so I borrowed some code from [This Post](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24666&perpage=15&highlight=php%20flash&pagenumber=2) .

Could someone explain what -  
$data = fread($fp, “Goes here”);  
and -  
$fp = fopen($file, “Goes Here”);  
I also would like to know if I can do what I did with this peice of code, adding html in the middle of it.  
$new .= “\<b\>Name:\</b\> $name /n”;

\<?  
$file = “test3.txt”;  
$fp = fopen($file, “a+”);  
$data = fread($fp, 80000);  
ftruncate($fp, 0);  
$new = “$data”  
$new .= “\<b\>Name:\</b\> $name /n”;  
$new .= “\<b\>Message:\</b\> $message /n /n”;  
$msg = “content=\<p align=“left”\>$new\</p\>”  
fwrite($fp, $msg);  
fclose($fp);  
?\>

Help??
