textarea in MX 2004 with PHP and MySQL

[flashbbeb]

I'm working on a form in Flash that I have successfully been able to connect to a PHP file that sends to a MySQL db, then another PHP file that displays the db data.

How can I connect the textarea component with my "comments" field in my db? It's not as simple as an input text line that has a 'var' that corresponds to a variable in the submitting PHP file...

Any easy way to give that textarea a variable?

Thanks.

Use LoadVars.sendAndLoad. You can send the info out and receive a reply back from the PHP page.

You could also create a PHP page that just returns name value pairs and use loadVariables to retrieve it.

example:

loadVariables("myPHP.php",get);

Hope it helps.

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!

I have experimented with this new v2 remoting component a bit...
