PHP / XML / FLASH - example wanted

[wolf]

Hello all,

I'm trying to get flashes xml option to post (via xml.send()) to a php page. But mostly, my question is about php. How do I handle that data in PHP ? Where is it stored and what does it look like ? I seem to be having trouble.

What I'm looking for is if someone could post a very short php example script that they use to accept and do SOMETHING with the data. If I could just see a short example I know I could figure the damn thing out the rest of the way. I'm just pretty clueless as to where to start. I know actionscript, I know XML, and I know PHP. But I just seem completely clueless about how to get them to work together.

Thanks in advance.

There are lots of tutorial here which use PHP and mySQL interaction. The counter tute, the send mail tute, the e-cards tute, the loadvariables Interaction (probably the best for what you're after) tute.

XML posting and handling is what I am after. LoadVariables I know how to use.

Posting this to be thorough. This is what I found:

Supposively, since XML is not normal url encoded post data - it should be stored in $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA. But...

In PHP $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA only exists when the mime type of the POST is unrecognized. This is a problem when it's flash submitting XML.

Here's a informative link:

Apparently it's a PHP limitation and has nothing to do with Flash. Unsure if the PHP developers plan on a fix.
