Hey all... I've got an interesting issue with a combo of Flash, PHP,
MySQL, and Safari...
I've got an online lab assignment for students to complete, and answers
are being sent from the Flash movie via PHP into a MySQL table. Once
the insert/update statements are complete, a flag is sent back to the
Flash movie to move on.
However, I'm finding that when using Safari, strange things are
happening to the data. The pattern appears to involve variables that
are created/processed in some way by flash. These include getting the
values of some select fields that live within movie clips, and creating
a string based on the positions of specific movie clips on the stage.
Somewhere in transit between the flash movie & mysql, the last
character of the values of these variables is getting cut off. When I
submit the answer for the first time, the last character is cut off. If
I go back to that question and re-submit the answer, the new last
character gets cut off.
This is happening on the way INTO mysql, and only with Safari, rather
than on the way out, so I suspect it has something to do with Safari
and the way it handles sending/receiving variables.
There probably aren't a lot of people out there using Safari who would
be taking this lab, but I know if there are Mac loyalists in the class,
they'll want to use it and will be annoyed if they can't.
Anyone had any experience here and/or seen a solution/workaround?
Unfortunately, the lab needs to be behind an .htaccess file to force
students to log in w/ their campus network ID's, so I currently can't
provide a link to the file.
Thanks!
-Rob
