I still don’t understand why people choose proprietary solutions like CF and ASP when there is a top-of-the-line product like PHP out.

Y’know, that’s why they have horse races. Differences in opinion. 😉

h88:

have you ever been able to get a php page to display on a browser?

asp can…

plus other reasons… life is not black and white… and there are many ways to get to the same result… each has its own values…

ASP, CF and PHP each have their +'s and -'s. Anyone that regularly works with database driven web sites should at least be familiar with all three. I learned ASP first, because that was what was supported by Dreamweaver at the time. I’ve been learning CF, since Macromedia seems to be leaning that direction since the purchase if Allaire. PHP is on my short list, but I’ve helped debug a few things in PHP for a friend and have picked up a few of the basics already.

My computer science degree is BPC (before personal computers) so I’m self-taught on everything web related. My background with structured programming has made learning HTML, ASP, etc. much easier.

Bottom line, it’s the needs and existing resources of the client that usually determines which database and server side language they go with. That ol’ “real world” thang rearing it’s ugly head again. =)

OK, I don’t know much about all three, but this is the how the story went. After I received abzoid response, I E-mailed my asp guy, by then he contacted another flash guy and they came up with a working result that went something like this.

On the flash side;

profileID = new Array();  
for (i=0; i\<\_root.player.listbox.getLength(); i++) {

\_root.player.listbox.getSelectedItem().data[“ID”] var k = \_root.player.listbox.getItemAt(i).data;  
thisID = k.ID;  
profileID.push(thisID);

On the ASP side, he chanced his delineator to “,” instead of “&”,  
and all is working fine.

So, the way they made it happen, it seems both flash and ASP had to change alittle.

Thanks to h88, abzoid, and of course, [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com) for kicken @ss once again.

Peace.
