AMFPHP + Flex without Flash

[maarek]

Hi.

I need to write data from Flex application into MySQL database. Is there an easiest way than using AMFPHP? I cannot install it. I have apache, PHP, MySQL and Flex Builder 2. I have not Flash. Can I build applications without havng Flash?

Thank you, Marek.

You most certainly can, but you need to grab amfphp-1.9 beta for it to work correctly. Here is an example of how I make a call to an amfphp function.


private const GATEWAY:String = 'http://localhost/amfphp/gateway.php';

//loads the listing details for the id passed as a parm and calls the responder when finished
public function getListingDetails( id:int ): void {
var gateway:NetConnection = new NetConnection( );
var responder:Responder = new Responder( handleListingDetailsResult, handleListingDetailsError );

gateway.connect(GATEWAY);
gateway.call( 'ListingProxy.getListingDetails', responder, myUser.userID, myUser.userHash, id );
}

private function handleListingDetailsResult( result:Object ): void {
trace('ListingManager.handleListingDetailsResult') ;

this.currentListing.setMemento(result);
dispatchEvent( new Event('propertyChange') );
}

private function handleListingDetailsError( result:Object ): void {
trace('ListingManager.handleListingDetailsError');

for( var p:String in result ) {
trace(p);
trace(result[p]);
}
}



You will need to import all the appropriate packages.

You don't need AMFPHP to write data to a database. Flex applications can send data to regular PHP scripts through POST, and the PHP can handle all the database connections.

Oops, I guess I misread the question. I thought you were asking how to use AMFPHP. dr_zeus is correct. Using the URLLoader class you can post form data (URLVariables) and have the PHP return an XML response.

Sorry for the mix up,
