OK, so this is similar to what I have, however I think you might be using the
RemoteObject component, while I'm using the RemotingConnection class. This is
how it would work using RemotingConnection.
public var dataProvider:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
public function onAddStudent(result:Array):void
{
if (!result) return;
dataProvider.addItem(result);
dataProvider.refresh();
}
You can see it's quite simple. The dataProvider ArrayCollection can be (should
be) bound to a datagrid.
If you are using something similar to this
(http://www.sephiroth.it/tutorials/flashPHP/flex_remoteobject/page004.php) then
your code might look like this:
public var dataProvider:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
public function onAddStudent(evt:ResultEvent):void
{
if (!evt.result) return;
dataProvider.addItem(ArrayUtil.toArray(evt.result));
dataProvider.refresh();
}
With my PHP script, what I actually do is:
- validate/format data
- insert into database
- select inserted rows from database
- format data
- return data to flex
Hope this helps

using AMFPHP 1.9. Within the same application, i also have an option

How can i get the datagrid to automatically update once i have sent
the new users details to the database. I'm not using FDS because im
not too sure whether its needed for such a task.

Thanks Adam this is pretty much what i want to do...is there any
chance you could show me an example from your code where the methods
addItem() and refresh() are called. I assume your using amfphp 1.9.
is the data being retrieved from php or are you just relaying the
data that wa input in flex. this is important for me to know because
my php includes some validation on server side.
