Post data from Actionscript 3 to PHP

Sorin — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 09:39:39 +0000

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

// load the request and listen for a response from the PHP script

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

// 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.
