PHP Help

[cleverdesigner]

I did the sixth tutorial on the intermediate level. I was able to get the Flash to work, but now I am not able to get the php script to work. My question is the following:

Does the php file have to be in the same folder as the swf file or does the the php file need to be in a cgi-bin?

Sorry if this is a stupid question. I am new to the forum. Hopefully I have not broken any rules or mores as to how to post on this forum. You help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

The file path is set in the following:
loadVariablesNum ("mail.php3", 0, "POST");


on (release) {
if (subject eq "" or message eq "" or from eq "") {
stop ();
} else {
lineAdapt();
loadVariablesNum ("mail.php3", 0, "POST");
gotoAndStop (2);
}}


So if mail.php3 lives elsewhere then just just include the path
loadVariablesNum ("another_dir/mail.php3", 0, "POST");

PHP files do not need to go into your cgi bin, save that for .pl files.

Thanks for the help. From what I understand, the PHP file is in the same directory as the swf file if the code is :

loadVariablesNum ("mail.php3", 0, "POST");


Thanks for the clarification.
