How do i connect flash5 with php4 script using mysql database?

If you want to read data from MySQL and have your .swf file do something with it, let the .swf file fetch variables from a text file. The "text file" can be PHP script you've written, which connects to MySQL and prints out whatever data you want.

This is the best way to get data from MySQL into a swf-file. I made very good experiences with this technique! Look a my site www.jdav-rosenheim. All Pictures and texts are from MySQL!

There are other ways to get stuff in there.... If you are looking for coding examples or something: you could try
doing something like...

in your Flash program declare a variable foo... which could be a text or whatever... then when a button is pushed or just loaded.. . you need to setup the action for the button or variable... you could set it up as post in the little action box... then you would put the name of the script in as the action you wanted it to do... then in the script just do this

// Standard PHP script

....Connect to Database....

...Get stuff out

// Then we echo it back to flash program like

echo rawurlencode($databaseinfo);

For pictures I am told you would need a special program, but dont quote me on that...
Hopefully I you get the jist of what I am saying... but for examples look at this tutorial:
