Re: Handeling POST without proper name/value

That's the problem, the only variable that has part of the data is the one described below ('$<TESTING_value_1' or '$HTTP_POST_VARS["<TESTING_value_1"]'). The only other think I can do is traverse the $HTTP_POST_VARS and combine the key and value to form the actual value that MM sent me. However this is a very ugly way of doing things, I was just hoping that someone might be able to send me in a new direction. -- Mike Moulton Richard Lynch wrote: > > Look at phpinfo() in the receiving script of the MM link for a variable that > has the data you want. > > Probably $POST_INFO, but maybe something else. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Mike Moulton <mike@meltmedia.com> > Newsgroups: php.general > Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2000 10:59 PM > Subject: [PHP] Handeling POST without proper name/value > > > I am trying to get Macromedia Flash 5 to talk to PHP using a method > > predefined in flash's action script called XML.send.
