Re: [Flashcoders] LoadVars.sendAndLoad with POST
This just gets weirder and weirder. Based on a few pages found in google with people having the same issue, I tried switching out sendAndLoad() with send(), and the data gets posted. Switch it back to sendAndLoad() and it fails. I've reduced this code to the simplest possible, in the PHP and the AS including a new swf with nothing more than the code below on frame 1. There are still no variables in POST -- firebug shows them empty. I've also created a simple HTML page and posted to testing.php, and this works fine. Has anyone seen this before? I've been through quite a few pages listing this same problem, and none of those forums/pages has a solution. Example at: http://aut0poietic.us/quiz/sendloadtest.html ActionScript: var _send_lv = new LoadVars() ; var _result_lv = new LoadVars() ; _send_lv.pleasePost = Bite Me ; var result = _send_lv.sendAndLoad(testing.php, _result_lv) ; PHP (testing.php) print(POST\n) ; print_r($_POST) ; print(GET\n); print_r($_GET) ; response (from firebug) POSTArray ( ) GET Array ( ) ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Hi Jer I just tried your page in IE / Windows and using Fiddler saw the following result: 4 POST a Array ( 35 [helpme] = this must work somehow ) GET Array ( ) 0 Seems like it's working?

Re: [Flashcoders] LoadVars.sendAndLoad with POST
Ugh, it's working, but this whole situation, and the solution, makes no sense. I started testing this with ethereal to monitor the requests, and a combination of ethereal and the server logs showed some pretty odd behavior. Ethereal and IE/FF showed a POST request for the testing.php, with the pleasePost=Bite%20Me. Firebug showed empty post variables. Ethereal and IE/FF showed a POST response from the testing.php, with the Array ( [pleasePost] - Bite Me. Firebug showed Array (). Adding in code to return a variable to flash from php, and the actionscript to handle _result_lv.onLoad() still resulted in no data in _result_lv. But implementing _result_lv.onData() output the correct unparsed data. About this time the admin let me know that for some strange reason, every POST request from flash to testing.php was followed by a GET request to testing.php with no parameters. Also there was a 404 response to a request for favicon.ico, which has nothing to do with anything, but it's there. Admin tried the same thing, and was not getting the second GET request, nor the request for the favicon.ico. Coworker in the same office was getting same result as I was using firefox/firebug. I'm at a complete loss for an explanation, but it's working. I'm not sure whether to blame firebug, firefox, or something else entirely, like my crappy machine here. I'd still kill to know what the heck was going on, but I'm betting I'm going to have to chalk this one up to sunspots, the boogey man or weird crap I make flash do when coding sloppily. Thanks for everyone's help.

Are you using mod_rewrite at all?
We have often encountered empty post's when trying to rewrite php

Re: [Flashcoders] LoadVars.sendAndLoad with POST
Tried to kill all that header stuff and simple print_r or echo
$_POST['data']
after sending your loadvars. Dont take me wrong, go step by step forward.

Re: [Flashcoders] LoadVars.sendAndLoad with POST
Hey Glen,
I'm pretty sure we're not -- least it's not in use anywhere in our
server. I'm going to walk away from this for a while and play some paper
mario ;-), but will check in the morning. If the server happens we have
mod_rewrite running, how do you overcome the issue? I can say that
there is no situation where this folder should be a part of a rule for
mod_rewrite.
It dawns on me as I write this that the only other change I made between
working and not working was to add an event listener to that LMSComm
class instance. I can't see where that'd break my loadvars, but I'll
check that as well.
