using nested arrays by php http_build_query() and recieve them in flash AS3

Question

hi, i am having this hard time figuring what is needed to do, i am using URLVariables to send/recieve values between flash and PHP

the problem is, i am unable to access nested arrays ( array inside an array ) with flash

heres an example:

$dgresult = array("total" => $results); echo http_build_query($dgresult,"flf_");

in flash, all i need to do is to use: var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(e.target.data);

then i can access it with : variables.total

the problem now is when i have nested arrays:

$dgresult = array("total" => $results); array_push($dgresult,$another_array); http_build_query($dgresult,"flf_");

i can still access variables.total

but what about anything that has flf_ ? how is that possible?

Answer 1

you should try to simply use established formats for complex data, such as JSON. For PHP see here and for AS3 see here. Or ready made solutions such as AMFPHP.
