flash forms and php

[chrispeck]

Im trying to send variables from a .swf file to a php script on my local server using the following line:

'getURL ("http://localhost/croptest/test4.php", "_self", "POST");'

The variable that I want to process is called 'map' in the .swf file, and therefore my php page looks like:

<?php

print($map);

?>

As simple as that. But I keep getting the following error

'PHP Warning: Undefined variable: map in D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\croptest\test4.php on line 2'

can anyone help?

Make sure you have "Send Using Get" or "Send Using Post" selected for the Variables option for getUrl. If you have "Don't Send" selected then flash will not append it's variables to the URL and your php script won't receive them.

thanks. I did tried with post and get but it didnt work. Then I realised that you have to use $http_post_vars["foo"] in php4+. Problem solved, thanks anyhow!!!
