Can't connect to MySQL from Flex

Question

Hi,
I just started learning Flex a week ago and I'm still a noob
in this area.
I recently discovered about Cairngorm and tried to understand
it.
I managed to understand the Cairngorm diagram and applied
that in my "Login" function.
My problem is when I define a database connection to MySQL, I
would get error in my Flex application, but when i define static
variable the whole application would work just fine.
The error is "NetConnection.call.failed: HTTP:failed"
I'm using Zend Amf as the server.
Please tell me what is the problem. Thanks!
Regards,
Joni
============ Edit ================
I'm sorry,
I just did some fix and this is the more specific details.
If I use this code in my PHP
mysql_connect(DBHOST, DBUSER, DBPASS);
mysql_select_db(DBNAME);
$query = "SELECT * FROM school";
$result = mysql_query($query);
return "test";
Flex would be able to "get" the return value.
But if I used this code
mysql_connect(DBHOST, DBUSER, DBPASS);
mysql_select_db(DBNAME);
$query = "SELECT * FROM school";
$result = mysql_query($query);
return $result;
Flex would get an error.
Please help.
Thanks.
Regards
Joni

I am not a php guy really so here is what I would do in this
situation. Using the Flex Builder data wizard, I would generat a
crud appliation against the mySQL table and see how the resulting
php code returns data back to flex.
