Thank you to manheman ( FlepStudio forum user ) for PHP ...
Hello,
I apologise in advance if this is a stupid question, i am very much a beginner.
Should I be pasting the php file somewhere in particular, or is it ok in the same folder as the flash and xml files?
I am testing it on my local machine and when i vote the message to say the vote is being saved is staying on continuously, suggesting that the php file is not being written to properly.
I am trying to figure out if it is a permissions issue or something else.
Thanks.
SADIE ...........the problem is php cannot be tested on a local machine.....it has to be tested on a server that has php installed (most do) ......there is another solution ...you can set up a local test server for php.....just do a google search and theres a lot written on it.......for example...... Setting up a local test server - test web server - local web server - local server
zoom........why is there three answers only? you can have as many as you like ...jsut add the to the xml...im gonna look into modyfilying the poll and will get back to you in a bit as it is a good option..........
Hello again,
I have successfully installed php on my local machine, and i have my poll.php in the same file as poll.xml and the swf file, and i still cant get it to work. When i vote it just says saving response, no errors, it seems that the php and xml files are not communicating with each other correctly. Is there any code I should change. Also how can i remove the cookie so i can vote continuously. Sorry if i appear stupid.
Thanks.
