Flash has its own built in method for sending/uploading data to a URL, using the GET or POST protocol, so that's taken care of. What I am trying to do is to send a structured data set and create my own protocol for doing so. For example, when the Flash send this string col1:col2@col3:col4 My PHP code will interpret it as a table, and construct a correspoding HTML table ------|------ col1 | col2 ------|------ col3 | col 4 etc. We will try to send structured data of graph, multiple choice options and answer, etc using this method as well. That's why we have this problem.
