Getting POST from Flash

Is there anything special involved when getting info from a flash script?

For instance shouldn't this work?

<?php

$nm=$_POST['__name']; 
$em=$_POST['__email']; 
$ti=$_POST['__time']; 


//Connection info

$host = "XXXXX"; 
$user = "XXXXX"; 
$pass = "XXXXX"; 
$database = "XXXXX";


//Open database

$linkID = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die("Could not connect to host."); 
mysql_select_db($database, $linkID) or die("Could not find database.");

mysql_query("INSERT INTO stats (name, email, time) VALUES('$nm', '$em', '$ti')") or die(mysql_error());  


mysql_close($linkID);

$host = "XXXXX"; 
$user = "XXXXX"; 
$pass = "XXXXX"; 
$database = "XXXXX"; 

$linkID = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die("Could not connect to host."); 
mysql_select_db($database, $linkID) or die("Could not find database."); 

$query = "SELECT * FROM stats ORDER BY time ASC limit 5"; 
$result = mysql_query($query, $linkID) or die("Data not found."); 

//$name = $row['name'];
//	$email = $row['email'];
//	$time = $row['time'];

 $num = mysql_num_rows($result);
 

 $file= fopen("stats.xml", "w");

 $_xml .="<xml>\r\n";
 while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {


 $_xml .="\t\t<player name='" . $row["name"] . "' " . "email='" . $row["email"] . "' " . "time='" . $row["time"] . "'/>\r\n";

}
 $_xml .="</xml>";
 
 
 fwrite($file, $_xml);
 fclose($file);
  echo "XML has been written.  <a href=\"stats.xml\">view xml</a>";
  
  mysql_close($linkID);

?>

Code (markup):

I'm being told by the flash programmer that the script has to run without loading the page??????

he also mention something about sendandload..

 

Flash scripts will call the page just like any other language. You can chose if by POST or GET.

The above should work, if the flash script is sending the data via POST.

You can always test using ob_flush, print_r and mail to yourself.

Peace,
