Flash Form To PHP with special character in the variables

[baoji1990]

Hello Guys,
I am new to this forum. I hope that someone can help me here.
I am using a ready made PHP form ( i cant edit it), and i should pass the following variables from flash:
t[name]
t[email]

but unfortunately flash does not support these characters "[" "]".
Please advise.

Hello Paul,
Thank you for your reply, i will try to make it clearer:

I usually pass the variables from flash to php using the following method:
1- I create an input text in flash
2- I give it an instance name (example: name)
3- I send it to PHP using this code: lv.name = name.text; (then: lv.sendAndLoad("contact.php",lv,"POST");)
4- PHP read the variables through this code: $name = $_POST['name'];

Very simple process.
In my case, i can't edit the PHP file, and the variable is "t[name]" instead of "name"
However i can't use brackets for Flash instance names, and i don't know another way to pass these variables to PHP.

Hope i made it clear, and thank you for your assistance

Not sure what's your situation there and why exactly you can't modify the php file, but here is a nice tutorial that will show you another way of sending email through Flash and PHP:

I believe that will help you to make a contact form with your spacial variables.

Thank Paul,
i will check the tutorial that you've mentioned now.
I cant edit the PHP files because it is a ready-made newsletter module.

It didn't help.
same problem, can not load variable with bracket "[" "]" from flash to php.
Please advise

You can send the variables from flash to php the usual way and then have the php change the variable names and contain the same info received from flash, then send those variables to the other php code that you can't modify.

Paul that sounds great.
Can you please tell me more details about it? Like showing the PHP syntax? or sending me a link to a tutorial?
I really appreciate your help mate
Thanks

Hello,
Thank you for your reply.
After thinking about your suggestion, i have figured out another solution. (i was wrong about the way i was thinking).

First Step:
I submit the variables from flash, then they are loaded into the php file. (working)

Second Step:
These variables should be submitted to a form through php. (usually people click on SUBMIT)
Is there a way to do it? (they should not see it)

I am sorry if i confused you, but i am really new to this kind of forms. I was used to deal with contact forms only.

Thanks

3- I send it to PHP using this code: lv.name = name.text; (then: lv.sendAndLoad("contact.php",lv,"POST");)
the variable is "t[name]" instead of "name"

Code: Select all

var o:Object = new Object();
         o["you can put pretty much anything in here: §$%&/()[]=?, numbers: 12356789, or even quotation marks: \" but as you can see, you have to escape it with a backslash"] = "hello";
         trace(o["you can put pretty much anything in here: §$%&/()[]=?, numbers: 12356789, or even quotation marks: \" but as you can see, you have to escape it with a backslash"]);
         

try:
lv.["t[name]"] = name.text;

Hello,

If i use: lv.["t[name]"] = name.text;
I get the following error:
Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1, Line 1 Expected a field name after '.' operator.

Oh sorry, my bad.
Just leave the dot out:

lv["t[name]"] = name.text;
