Getting php to display output

[arkum]

Hi,

I'm a flash designer so I don't use php often, but when I do, I have never worked out how to see what is going on inside a php file I've called from flash. Obviously if you use "print" and open the php file directly, its output can be printed to the browser, but when I call a php file from flash, print sends the output back to flash. This is fine when the code is doing what I want, but if something isn't working, and the code is not getting back to flash, is there any way I can force the print output to be written to the browser so I can see the content of the variables?

Many thanks

Hi, not sure if this would help but try echoing the variable that you are trying to pull the info from, like this;

[code]<?
$variable = "test";
echo "$variable;
?>[/code]

cheers.

hello 1042,

Tried that, but no good. Seems like a closed loop and I can't look inside.

Thanks anyway

What you should do is have your script output errors to a text file, and the have that file open in your browser.
Then, when you run your flash you can check the browser to see if errors have been output.
