Flex : providing data with a PHP Class
- by Tristan
Hello,
i'm a very new user to flex (never use flex, nor flashbuilder, nor action script before), but i want to learn this langage because of the beautiful RIA and chart it can do.
I watched the video on adobe : 1 hour to build your first program but i'm stuck :
On the video it says that we have to provide a PHP class for accessing data and i used the example that flash builder gave (with zend framework and mysqli). I never used those ones and it makes a lot to learn if i count zen + mysqli.
My question is : can i use a PHP class like this one ? What does flash builder except in return ? i hear that was automatic.
example it may be wrong, i'm not very familiar with classes when acessing to database :
<?php
class DBConnection {
protected $server = "localhost";
protected $username = "root";
protected $password = "root";
protected $dbname = "something";
protected $connection;
function __construct() {
$this->connection = mysql_connect($this->server, $this->username, $this->password);
mysql_select_db($this->dbname,$this->connection);
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'", $this->connection);
}
function query($query) {
$result = mysql_query($query, $this->connection);
if (!$result) {
echo 'request error ' . mysql_error($this->connection);
exit;
}
return $result;
}
function getAll() {
$req = "select * from servers";
$result = query($req)
return $result
}
function num_rows() {
return mysql_num_rows($result);
}
function end() {
mysql_close($this->connection);
}
}
?>
Thank you,
