|
From: ajeet.ghule on 6 Feb 2007 08:57 Hi All : I want to get a return value from my PHP page back to director.Is there any way i can achieve my goal. Suppose i have a varible whose value is "XYZ". then i should be alble to get the return value from the [b]PHP page to Director[/b]. Does director have any command which can access that varaible value. Thanks & Regards
From: duckets on 6 Feb 2007 09:04 If you use 'postNetText', 'netDone' and 'netTextResult', you should be able to achieve what you want. Look up those commands in the director help. Director will recieve the plain text output of your php file, so it's up to you to decided how to parse it (unlike flash's "loadVars" command, which accepts a querystring format). A very basic way would be to simply output just the value, and nothing else. In director, you could then assign the result to a variable (once you have confirmed the net operation is complete, with 'netdone'), like this: myVar = netTextResult(netID) Hope this helps! - Ben

From: duckets on 6 Feb 2007 09:37 Yes. You'll have to use 'print' or 'echo' to output the value of that variable when the page is requested by director. Whatever is printed out by the php page is what director will recieve. If you want to just communicate the value of a single variable, you can simply make your php page 'print' the value of the variable, and make director assign the response read by 'netTextResult' into a director variable. - Ben

Just in case you mean the PHP page in which the Director file (.dcr) is embedded, you could look into the externalParamCount(). Look at: http://www.shocknet.org.uk/defpage.asp?pageID=4 for an explanation. If you want director to make a new request to a webserver to retrieve information, go with Ben's advice. HTH, Manno externalParamCount() ajeet.ghule wrote: > Hi duckets : > I wanted to know if i store a varibel in PHP page.Suppose i assign it value in PHP script.Will be able to retrive that value in the director using the above command. > > > Thanks -- ---------- Manno Bult http://www.aloft.nl manno(a)xs4all.nl |
