I come from php programming and I want to develop with flex. I found hard to find somewhere over the internet how to handle output from php file called with a HTTPService to the mxml. All I can find is tutorials on how to retrieve data from an xml file. I understand how to pass form items to the php page in order to update mysql but I can't figure out how to send back results from the database (possibily strings to be handled in an action script) or even worste how to handle mysql exception. something like this:
<mx:HTTPService resultFormat="text" id="logRequest" url="http://...url../connection.php" useProxy="false" method="POST"> <mx:request xmlns=""> <passwordInput>{passwordInput.text}</passwordInput> <usernameInput>{usernameInput.text}</usernameInput> </mx:request> </mx:HTTPService> this should post a basic login. if($_POST["passwordInput"] AND $_POST["usernameInput"]) { $query= sprintf("SELECT login,password FROM utenti WHERE login='$usernameInput'"); //------------------------------------------------------ // MYSQL STUFF //----------------------------------------------------- $check="<check>ok</check>"; print ($check); } >From the Mike Potter Tutorial he used a print() with an xml string to populate a <datagrip>. So I made a small xml string "<check>ok</check>" and printed. private function logCheck():void{ logRequest.send(); Alert.show("Check = "+logRequest.lastResult.check); } every time I get "Check = null". What am I doing wrong?
