[SOLVED] Hiding the ECHO function

[Amps]

Hey people,

 

Is there any method of hiding the echo function so it is not visible? Im passing php variables to a flash movie using echo("&var1=$var1&") which works as intended but the code is visible on the screen.

 

 

Thanks.

Use print instead of echo.

Um, print is the same as echo...

 

I need it to pass variables to flash but be invisible.

what do you mean teh code is visible on screen? do you mean you can see php code in your markup?

 

or do you mean you want to hide all teh flash vars being sent to the swf?

 

If its the latter I suggest that you look a retrieving data within the swf using xml (the xml can be generated by a php script called by the swf) to generate the info.  It could be that you place all the data you need in a session variable, call the php script that generates the data and then clear those session vars - unless someone knows what the session vars are called they will be unable to see what info is being sent...

Example:

 

I have a index.php page with lots of variables like

 

$var1 = "Whatever";

 

I pass the variables to flash using

 

echo("&var1=$var1&")

 

I have a flash movie on that page which is displaying these variables then BUT

 

since im using echo the variable is ALSO displayed on the body of the page.

Dont use the same page to create the php variables as your using to embed the flash file into. Been a while since Iv'e done much flash but you should simply call a php script via something like...

 

LoadVars('yourscript.php','GET');

I know I could put them on a different page, I was just wondering if there was another way. I suppose thats all I can do now anyway, thanks for your help people.
