Re: Looking for some help on web header coding.

I did. That is how I came a crossed the $HTTP_POST_VARS['username']; in my code. ( The tutorial for Flash MX to php can be found at http://www.macromedia.com/desdev/mx/flash/articles/flashmx_php02.html ). If you look at my code and their code sample you will see that I have not made many changes from their sample and the only one truly is storing the vars to a internal variable instead of using it directly in the sql script. I have gotten it working by changing POST to GET as is used in Peter's sample but I have to wonder if I am still missing something as I am unable to find any documentation on this at http://php.org I came here. ----------------------------------------------------------- Women and cats will do as they please and men and dogs should relax and just get used to the idea. ----------------------------------------------------------- This Quote has been brought to you in part by the Letter C.
