Scott Mebberson, Steve Webster · Apress eBooks · 2003
As you know, FlashBlog’s server-side consists of a MySQL database in which the ‘post’ data is stored, and some PHP scripts to fetch the information from the database and send it to the Flash movie using XML. During this chapter, we’ll start building this server-side of FlashBlog, and see how to build a PHP page that retrieves messages from the database, formats them in XML, and sends the information through to the FlashBlog front-end. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
