Why lVars.sendAndLoad does not work!!!

Hello,

I am trying to get a response from a php script, but lVars.onLoad is never fired. I checked the url using my browser and it works fine, but can't get it work from Flash.

I will appreciate any help.

---- The code -------
AS:
stop();
var lVars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var int_id:Numeric;

lVars.onLoad = function(ok:Boolean) {
trace("OnLoad");

this.displayMessage = function(success) {
trace("DisplayMessge");

if (success) {
lblMessage.text = this.message;
} else {
lblMessage.text = "Failed";
}
trace("Message: "+lblMessage.text);
}

this.displayMessage(ok);
};

this.runScript = function() {
trace("Run Script");
//lVars.message = "";
lVars.sendAndLoad(" http://223.0.0.60/Flawless/medallionAlerts.php", lVars, "POST");
trace("PHP Sent. Message: " + lVars.message);
};

int_id = setInterval(this, "runScript", 1000*10);
trace("Interval set");


PHP:
<?
error_reporting(0);
session_start();
include_once("includes/incDb.php");
include_once("includes/functions.php");

$link=db_connect();
$id = 10;
$message = getMedPrivLink($id);
echo ("&message=" . $message);
?>

What am I missing?

Thank you,

Carlos

Is the url correct? Or is it a fake url?
I'm using the code attached (and it works fine). FTP the PHP-code to a domain and first establish the connection.

Hi LuigiL,

I found the problem. The php script and the onLoad were working fine.
The problem was that I was trying to return a link to another url and it had few parameters, so Flash got confused with the "&" contained in the link.

I changed the php script to return strings with no "&" then put the link together inside Flash.

Something that was really helpful to discover the problem was to do a trace of the LoadVars object. It displayed all properties and values. So, I found out it where the problem was.

By the way, I tested using an IP and a domain name once I found it was working. It make no difference. I am using Linux RH 8 and IE 6.

I really appreciate your help.

Carlos

You're welcome. It's always hard trying to find the error with server side scripting. That's why I was asking for your php script. But, good you solved it! Good luck.

Hi LuigiL,

Thank you for helping me with this.

I fixed the typo change the variable from lVars to lVars_lv and created the object separately from definition as follows:
---- Oringinal code -----
var lVars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var int_id:Numeric;

---- New code ----
var lVars_lv:LoadVars;
var int_id:Number;

lVars_lv = new LoadVars();

changed the sendAndLoad invocation to use a domain name instead of an ip as follows:
---- origiinal code -------
lVars.sendAndLoad(" http://223.0.0.60/Flawless/medallionAlerts.php", lVars, "POST");
trace("PHP Sent. Message: " + lVars.message);

----- new code --------
I also initialized the message property before invoking the php script as below:

lVars_lv.message = "OldValue";
trace("Old message: " + lVars_lv.message); // displays OldValue
lVars_lv.sendAndLoad(" http://testingsite.com/Flawless/medallionAlerts.php", lVars_lv, "POST");
trace("message: " + lVars_lv.message); // displays nothing


Now the onload event is fired, but nothing is returned in the message property.

What do you think?

>>var int_id:Numeric;
Typo. Should be:
var int_id:Number;
Your onLoad doesn't fire because the call to the php-file never gets made. The script works fine if you use a 'normal' url and not an IP-address:
lVars.sendAndLoad(" http://www.yoursite.com/Flawless/medallionAlerts.php", lVars, "POST");
