For all practical purposes, you can't. It is really the single modern
language feature which is missing from AS and is the single biggest handicap
in terms of using AS as a substitute for Php and asp on web servers.
Hopefully Apple are at work addressing this limitation...
There are alternative solutions (Lawrence D'Oliviero has built table server
which serves a similar purpose
http://www.geek-central.gen.nz/sw/index.html#TableServer
and there are commands in ACME and Tanaka scripting additions (go to
osaxen.com to get these) which handle the associate arrays which underpin
interactive web pages.
best of luck
