Can someone explain the difference between passing variable out of flash using post as opposed to using get. I have a php script which I got off of Jubba’s tutorial in the BOK form (part 1) that only works if I use Get, not POST as his tutorial said and I would like to know the difference
GET means that the server ‘comes to get’ the variables, POST means that you send the variables to the server.

so shouldnt they be completely interchangeable?
Maybe this helps…

thanks a bunch claudio…but what the heck is that guy saying? He lost me after the title
Lol, I was so wrong 
welcome
lol… it’s not like that voetsjoeba…
Basically, they’re two different ‘methods’ for sending data from one page to another. When you send variables using GET, they’re fed to the page as part of the URL:

With get, you don’t actually see them, which is why POST is securer. The security of POST might or might not be wanted, since, let’s say, you want user to be able to bookmark this page, the variable <b>threadid</b> needs to be part of the url, otherwise bookmarking it won’t return you to this very page…
[edit] or just follow claudio’s link
oh gotcha. so basically (for my very basic purposes), use get if I want it to appear in the url and be bookmarked, post for something I want to be a little more secure.
Well I knew that, but I read somewhere in a magazine that … well what I said. Seemed to be wrong
