PHP And Flex

I have been trying to understand (via researching the Web and
books from bookstores) different ways to integrate a php/mysql
database into my Flex application. There appear to be multiple
solutions which is confusing me so I am looking for some advice and
feedback. My initial attempt is relatively simple (one table with
12 fields) but I would like to get comfortable with more advanced
applications. I have looked at CREATE APPLICATION FROM DATABASE,
creating a php page with an HTTP Service request(with print, echo
etc xml info), and finally I have looked at Joomla solutions. I am
looking for some guidelines as to what approach can and should be
used. I am a little past beginner level both in PHP and MYSQL using
MAMP right now and/or Navicat.

Help with PHP and FLEX integration

Hello i was wondering how to use php sessions with flex, i
need a way to have secure connections between flex and php.
I am using a script i made to pass mysql commands/results
between them, and i am currently passing the php session id with
the transactions. But if anyone gets a hold of a valid php session
id then they will be able to use it. Possibly using flex server to
have secure transactions?
If i host both the flex created swf and the php file on a
https server will it "talk" securely?
thanks lots

Help with Flex - PHP - and SQL Server

Good afternoon,
I have been working on this problem for over a week and am at
my wit's end. I am trying to create an application that will allow
me and my fellow statisticians to share code easily. The
technologies at my disposal are Flex, PHP and SQL Server 2005. The
web server is IIS. I have downloaded and installed the PHP driver
for SQL Server 2005 and am able to query the database and generate
XML. The problem I'm having is that I can't return the XML from PHP
to Flex.
If I execute the php code in a web browser and view the
source, it looks like XML. I can then cut and paste the exact same
code into an xml file and read it in from the harddisk and the tree
will populate. Can anyone please help me? I don't have flex builder
so I it's hard for me to use trace and view what is going on.
Thanks in advance,
Eric Graves

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried every permutation of
e4x path notation I can think of. You're right, you're not supposed
to need the root level as that's supposed to be returned in the
result. So you should only need to reference first level after the
root. When I do this and launch the .SWF I get a completely empty
tree.
I think the problem lies somewhere in my understanding of
what format Flex needs returned from a HTTPRequest. It's my
understanding that it just needs to be XML. As far as I can tell,
that's what I'm sending it. On the PHP side, does it have to be
cast a special way? Everything I've seen just shows people using
ECHO to output the XML data.

PhP and XML

I have recently just started using php and understand the
concept behind server side scripting. I was arguing with a co
worker about which would be better:
If I were to use php to run a query on some data in MySql and
pass the data back to flex...now if I had mutliple queries to run
would it be more efficient to run 1 large query on the data and
then store that data in an array, lets say, and search through it
locally.
OR
Call multiple times to a php script that has different
queries to the database?
Is there a right or wrong answer?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the answer I was thinking the same thing depending
on amount of data and such.
I am not a database guru but I do have a small background in
MySQL and the problem is I want to break the data up into tables as
much as I can(I like more tables with less data then less tables
and more data)...then I would prefer calling multiple queries.
While my co-worker wants 1 large table and run 1 query...which I
believe is more expensive. The data is quiet large in my opinion,
and how 3000-10000 table entries relate to size I am not sure.
I suppose I should mention I am trying to set up an office
intranet using Flex and this is why this topic has come up.
But if there is no definitive answer we will have to agree to
disagree...=)

Looking at the error, it seems like you are not able to access the php file on the server.
Could you please try accessing the php from your browser directly and let us know if you are able to access it.

Include PHP and/or JAVA code in any BC site.

I am thinking about including some PHP and/or JAVA code into my BC site and I was wondering if I am allowed to do this. Just Curious. Thanks.

That's a shame, because I was thinking about implementing a business search api for my real estate website that was created using business catalyst that allows the collection of all real estate agents in Australia by searching and collecting their information from the Yellow Pages and White Pages directories, and include these information in a database that allows users to search for the real estate agent they want and comment on that agent. This can only be done by integrating some PHP or JAVA code into my BC website.
So that means that the only way that I can do this is to create a web app that allows users to search for the real estate agent they want to see and comment on that agent, just by entering real estate agents' information into the web app's database and using various BC modules and plugins. Are there other easier ways to do this? Thanks.

PHP and MySQL Connection problem

I am trying to make a PHP MySQL on a remote server connection in Dreamwesaver CS3.
When I enter the information (host, user, password, etc.) and hit TEST, I get the following error message.
"Access Denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured."
I know the user, password, etc. work, as I can access the MySQL database with other software.
I checked with my host and they say there are no permission problems on their end.
I have checked the settings on the Test Server page in Site Setup and everything looks correct and works there.
I have not seen this particular problem described in other forum postings (although there are a LOT of postings on this topic!).
Any help would be appreciated.

I thought my testing server was the remote server and is always on as far as I know. I don't know how to turn it on or off.
Is there some other testing server that I should be aware of?

I know you are using remote, but is your testing server on? if not turn that on and see if that does it. it just happened to me working on remote server and could not get mysql conn to work, until I turn on my testing (developer server), then I was able to connect to mysql and the tables that I created in phpmyadmin remotly was downloaded.

How do I add an already built Shopping Cart (PHP and MYSQL) application to a page in a Muse site?

How do I add an already built Shopping Cart (PHP and MYSQL) (Cartweaver 4) application to a page in a Muse site? Do I have to export the Muse site as Html to dreamweaver and them use the extension to bring the shooping cart in or can I do it directly in Muse?
Message was edited by: mgv2048

We have experimented with doing this with some good success. We have been working on adding Cartweaver to a Facebook page by essentially adding a Cartweaver store to Facebook in an iframe. The "store" would be pages with just your basic product display, cart, and checkout functionality, with none of the "window dressing" - just use CSS to match the color and general look of the design it's being added to.
The one problem with this for Facebook is when it comes time to check out toy have to leave Facebook and go to your server where an SSL is in place. Fortunately in this situation this would not be the case, you can have an SSL installed to the root of your site and you'll be okay.
This is an interesting project. Give this a try and let me know how it goes and if you run into any snags, please make a post on the Cartweaver forums: http://forums.cartweaver.com - I'm really confident that this can work, and not only work, but work well.
Looking forward to hearing how this goes, and being of what help we can.

Getting stylesheets to work in header.php and files associated with it

Let's say I created a header.php file in my includes folder. And I include it in my index.php file in the site root directory.
Then in the header.php file, I have a link to the style sheet.
The issue I've always found is that you can't get the header.php file to apply the stylesheet.
I can get it to work using global links, however I don't want to do that as I'll have to undo them before I upload the site. (And I forget....)
So anyways, I came up with this code today in an attempt to overcome this. Here is my header file so far:
"; } else echo ""; ?>
So here is what it is doing:
1. It is creating a variable called $directory which is equal to the current directory.
2. Then it is creating another variable called $currentFolder which is equal to whether or not the variable $directory contains the word "includes".
3. Then it says if $currentFolder is NOT false then it has the location of the stylesheet in relation to the header.php file.
4. Else - if it IS false then the stylesheet is located in a location in relation to files in my root directory.
This works perfectly fine....in Live view. Both the header.php and index.php will format the header in live view. Neither though will format it in Design view. Which sucks cause I was pretty happy that I came up with this code on my own.
The reason it isn't working in Design View - I realize now - is because Dreamweaver won't process that script in Design View.
Does anyone know of a way to get this script to run in Design View? Or maybe some suggestions on editing this code to get it to work in Design View?
Thanks!

>The issue I've always found is that you can't get the header.php file to apply the stylesheet.
Right. That's because, and it seems you understand this already, the css file relative location is different from the point of view of the header file, and the parent file. Since the header file is included in the parent at the server, the client then sees the css file in the wrong location.
The solution is to use Design time style sheets. This will apply the css to the page only in design time - it won't actually insert the css file into the code. So, insert the css reference into the header file from the point of view of the parent - index.html. Then add a design time style sheet. That should work.

} else {
?>
<p><b>Access Denied.</b> You are not authorised to view this section.
<?
} else {
?>
All this does is produce a list of all the fields in the database in a long list so we can choose which fields to print.
As this list is now growing as we have added a lot more fields to the database ... is there anyway we could split it into say 3 columns?
Ideally the first column would be all the personal details - i.e. down to DPA Signed - Second column would be the other badges and the third column different depending on the section.
On the data input page we have different badges depending on section. Using the following code:
if ($action=='add' || ($action=='edit' && (UserRead($yp['section']) || UserAdmin()))) {
$yp_section_query = mysql_query("SELECT name FROM csg_section WHERE section=".tc($yp['section'])) or die("<b>MySql Error:</b>".mysql_error());
$yp_name = mysql_fetch_assoc($yp_section_query);
$yp_name = $yp_name['name'];
$yp_section = (strstr($yp_name,"Scout")) ? 1 : (strstr($yp_name,"Cub") ? 2 : 3) //If has word 'scout' -> 1. Else If has word 'cub' -> 2 Else 3 (beaver)
?>
<form action="yp2.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="yp" value="<?php echo $yp['yp_id']; ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="section" value="<?php echo $yp['section']; ?>">
could we use this on the print page to show different badge list depending on section in the third column??
Many Thanks,
Steve

I am not sure how it looks familiar ... are you in Scouting too?
So can i just create columns and put the different bits in each column?
How can I sort by database - sorry I am a bit of a novice when it comes to php and coding, etc.
Also was it able to filter depending on section?
Many Thanks,
Steve

How to display rich content with URL in adobe flash builder and flex for mobile apps?

Hi,
In Apple IOS SDK, I used the WebView control to display the rich text with Bullets, different font style, images within the text and the URLs also within the text as HTML content.
Clicking on the URLs automatically opens the respective webpage in Safari.
In Adobe Flash Builder, I don't see any control straight away equivalent to Apple WebView control.
How to implement the same using adobe and flex?

Thanks for your reply, its nice to know its not just me.
the error i got when submitting to the App store where due to native support for IPHONE 5 which is now mandatory (from May 1st), looking around the internet the common soloution seemed to be upgrading to Air 3.7.
The strange erorrs on 3.7 revolve around compiling a standard / production build (fast build works fine)
the error is always the same (snippet shown below):
Error occurred while packaging the application:
Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:
"__ZN7avmplus8Debugger9debugLineEi", referenced from:
__ZN7avmplus9MethodEnv9debugExitEPNS_13CallStackNodeE in AOTBuildOutput-4.o
__ZN7avmplus11BaseExecMgr22debugEnterExitWrapperNEPNS_9MethodEnvEiPj in AOTBuildOutput-4.o
I have completly failed to work out why, but my gut feeling is its something to do with how the mac is compiling the code in standard build and unable to find a library it needs.

'unable to connect' and 'localhost' and index.php and dreamweaverCC

Hi.
I am developing a Web Site and index.php is my point of entry.

httpd.conf file is modified to add index.php and have it listed first.

Troubleshooting:
I was using Netbeans IDE and when I ran index.php it opened in the browser.
When I launched 'any' of my index.php files from Netbeans IDE, they opened correctly in the brower
I am now using DreamweaverCC and when I run the index.php Error Message ' Unable to Connect'.
For the last 2 days I have been working on this and I am completely stuck.
This morning I thought of another way to test the 'unable to connect' error.
I decided to copy this same file into Netbeans IDE and I NOW get the same Error Message ' Unable to Connect'
when running index.php from Netbeans.
Somehow, my settings are not correctly configured anymore.
Here are my screenshots from Dreamweaver > manage sites.
I believe that this is a rather simple fix that I am somehow not seeing.
Maybe some can spot some mistake.

Posing a question for those well versed in flash and flex

I would like to start an off-line communication chat with those of you who are well versed in Flash and Flex.
I've worked with Cold Fusion but I am not up to date on all the technologies available. This seems like the perfect forum for this question.
I simply want to build an application (web or desktop is unknown) in which a person can learn a foreign language, in this case English.
I need some technical advice as to whether Flash, Flex, or a combination of technologies (Cold Fusion for server side functionality) is the best choice for this application. I do not understand the technical aspects of Flash or Flex in building applications so I need the advice of you experts.
As with most foreign language textbooks, audio, or foreign language video training, the material is not interesting, not pertinent to daily life, and is great for late night insomnia. I've never seen any type of foreign language training that is interesting, fun, or uses current events as part of the curriculum.
I would like to illustrate my idea with an example. I want to use an existing English beginners textbook (for kids), scan the images in the textbook, store the content (rules of grammar) in a database and store example sentences in a database.
I would like to record basic audio sentences from the textbook (Do you know tomorrow's weather), incorporate some animation (baseball player hitting a home run), incorporate some basic video (purchasing an item at the grocery store), add a quiz, test question or puzzles, etc..
In addition, since this is a classroom setting and the kids are split into groups, I would like to store a seating chart with the kids names and pictures in a database. After the first segment is finished (e.g. purchasing a toy at the store) the kids next perform an activty. I want to use a combination of audio, video, and animation to explain the activity, give instructions, split the class into groups,and perform the activity.
As I mentioned before, I would like to start an off-line discusion for those of you who are willing to share some of you knowledge and experience with both Flash and Flex. Since you are extremely busy, maybe you might be able to point me in the right direction.
Hopefully, some of you can provide some sound technical advice.
Thanks in advance
Michael Poplawski

This is an abitious project even for some-one well versed in flex/flash, i have to give you points for outstanding courage on this .
You need to cover quite a few areas in a project like this both for the client and the back end, you need a strong understanding of animation(either through code or the flash timeline), data parsing, logic trees for the quiz/test elements and a lot more before the first line of code would be written.
In Australia there are already a few companies using flex for online educational applications and at least 1 state educational Authority. A search on the internet will find several sites pertaining to flash/flex based online education software and this would be a starting point to give you an idea of the strength flex has in this area.
Beyond this it is not the sort of project that 'help' would be readily available for unless it was relating to very specific issues you could readily define. Also this is not the best forum to request this type of help as the forum is more about testing a beta product. I am sure that if you start learning about flex and have trouble understanding different aspects of how things work there will be plenty of support from the flex community.
