Hi all,
I'm having some trouble using actionscript 3.0 and php to read and write to a text file.
Here's my actionscript:
function saveBackup(textFile:String):void {
trace("sending text");
var var_load:URLLoader=new URLLoader();
var URL_request:URLRequest;
URL_request = new URLRequest("saveBackup.php");
URL_request.method=URLRequestMethod.POST;
var URL_vars:URLVariables=new URLVariables("txtFile="+textFile);
URL_vars.dataFormat=URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
URL_request.data=URL_vars;
var_load.load(URL_request);
var_load.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, sendComplete);
}
function sendComplete(e:Event):void {
trace("text sent");
var saveStatus=new URLVariables(e.target.data);
trace("echo is: "+saveStatus.reply);
rssLoader = new URLLoader();
rssLoader.load(new URLRequest("soap.txt"));
rssLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,enterHandler);
}
function enterHandler(e:Event):void {
trace("checking text file");
trace("this txt file contains: "+e.target.data)
}
saveBackup("soap.txt");
Here's my php within "saveBackup.txt":
<?php
echo "reply=testecho";
$dataContent = 'urgh';
$file = $_POST['txtFile'];
$writeVar = fopen($file,'w');
fwrite($writeVar,$dataContent);
fclose($writeVar);
?>
Before being written, the file "soap.txt" conatins:
this file has not yet been written.
Here's the output when I run the actionscript:
sending text
text sent
echo is: undefined
checking text file
this txt file contains: this file has not yet been written.
For some reason, it seems that "soap.txt" is never being written, but I'm not getting any error codes from the php. I can't even get the "echo" in the php file to work and have it return to the actionscript output.
Any help would be greatly apppreciated. This is driving me nuts!
Thanks in advance!
