If you need to send some data to a PHP script and don’t want to use services like Zend_AMF you can try posting that data directly to the PHP script.
With the code bellow I’ll actually send an email.
// ActionScript 3 Code
// PostToPHP.as
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 | package { import flash.events.Event; import flash.events.HTTPStatusEvent; import flash.net.URLLoader; import flash.net.URLLoaderDataFormat; import flash.net.URLRequest; import flash.net.URLRequestMethod; import flash.net.URLVariables; public class PostToPHP { // url to post private var postToURL:String = "http://www.yourdomain.tld/post_receiver.php"; public function PostToPHP() { // create request var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest( postToURL ); // set post variables var requestVars:URLVariables = new URLVariables(); requestVars.emailTo = 'email.address@mailservice.tld'; requestVars.subject = 'This is a test email'; requestVars.message = 'An this is the content of the message.'; // assign variables to the request and set request method type request.data = requestVars; request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST; // load the request and listen for a response from the PHP script var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); urlLoader.dataFormat = "text"; urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, urlLoader_handler, false, 0, true); urlLoader.load(request); } private function urlLoader_handler(e:Object):void { // the response given from the PHP script will be traced here trace(e.target.data); } |
// PHP code
// post_receiver.php
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 | // assign POST variables and clean them // filter_var() is available from PHP 5.2.0 $emailTo = filter_var($_POST['emailTo'], FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL); $subject = filter_var($_POST['subject'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING); $message = filter_var($_POST['message'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING); // send mail and remember function response // boolean response $mailSent = mail($emailTo, $subject, $message); // the echoed response will be traced in actionscript if($mailSent == true) { echo 'mail sent'; } else { echo 'mail NOT sent'; } |
Simple.
