Remembering user PINs

[MadKitsune72]

Heya!

I'm working in Flex 2, and I've got a question concerning how to keep track of a set list of user PINs. For the application, each user is assigned a PIN from a list, and once they have completed a task, I need that PIN to be marked as "complete" somehow, so that the person doesn't have to do that task again, even if they come back later and reload the app.

I know nothing of PHP or any sort of database coding. Any help would be most, most appreciated. I really don't even know where to begin.

Thank you very much :)

Thats quite a lot to do without previous experience :S. I'd look into flash remoting (which is painful sometimes) for php. Flash remoting needs to be installed on your server (there are free versions available, webOrb is one) and if you are using Actionscript 2 you will need to install remoting components (you can get them on the adobe site). AS3 comes already setup for remoting. And i'd look into how to insert and retrieve data from a database using PHP. Unfortunately this is probably your easiest option. You will run into many headaches. Good luck!

Thank you for the reply. I looked up some tutorials and figured it out. Biggest headache- most tutorials are written for someone familiar with php, learning Flex; not the other way around! I got pretty tired of, "So you can see I've just entered a really basic PHP..."
