flash combox 2 PHP

[ManData]

Hi flash community,

Just and example on how to receive flash form input (standard time 3:25 PM) to military time (15:25)

Also this example shows how to get flash combox values 2 php!!!

First, create three combox components on stage/form (One for hr,min, then AM/PM)

Second,give combox instance names (Hr_cb,Min_cb,AMPM_cb)

example:

create layer called "actions". Inside there do this...

stop();
//initialize form when load
//if you have php script and code "phpscript()" you will see posted variables
//even though there null

Hour_cb = "";
Min_cb = "";
AM_PM_cb = ""

//establish component listener for comboboxes
cb_comp_listner1 = new Object();
cb_comp_listner1 = function(evt){
trace("Selected data is: " + evt.target.selectedItem.label);
}
Hr_cb.addEventListener("change", cb_comp_listner1);

cb_comp_listner2 = new Object();
cb_comp_listner2 = function(evt){
trace("Selected data is: " + evt.target.selectedItem.label);
}
Min_cb.addEventListener("change", cb_comp_listner1);

cb_comp_listner3 = new Object();
cb_comp_listner3 = function(evt){
trace("Selected data is: " + evt.target.selectedItem.label);
}
AMPM_cb.addEventListener("change", cb_comp_listner1);

//button to submit info to php script
Apply_Button.onRelease = function () {

//of course apply validations for other components if neccessary here


//store selected option from combox to variables
Hour_cb = Hr_cb.getValue();
Min_cb = Min_cb.getValue();
AM_PM_cb = AMPM_cb.getValue();

//below...either one works...only do one of them, delete the one

// set sumbitURL to the URL of server side script
insertURL = "http://localhost/insertTable.php";

//this (if this input your url in "insertURL"where php script is located on srver

loadVariablesNum(insertURL, replyData, "POST");

//or this

getURL("http:\\\\localhost\\insertTable.php", "_blank", "POST");

}



PHP script do this to convert standard time to military and get combo box values...

<?php


if($_POST['AM_PM_cb] == "AM" AND $_POST['Hour_cb'] < 12){
$AThr = $_POST['A_Time_On_Hr'];
$ATmin = $_POST['A_Time_On_Min'];
$A_T_On = $AThr . $ATmin;
}else
if($_POST['AM_PM_cb'] == "AM" AND $_POST['Hour_cb'] == 12){
$AThr = $_POST['A_Time_On_Hr'] - 12;
$ATmin = $_POST['A_Time_On_Min'];
$A_T_On = $AThr . $ATmin;
}else
if($_POST['AM_PM_cb'] == "PM" AND $_POST['Hour_cb'] < 12){
$AThr = $_POST['A_Time_On_Hr'] + 12;
$ATmin = $_POST['A_Time_On_Min'];
$A_T_On = $AThr . $ATmin;
}else
if($_POST['AM_PM_cb'] == "PM" AND $_POST['Hour_cb'] == 12){
$AThr = $_POST['A_Time_On_Hr'];
$ATmin = $_POST['A_Time_On_Min'];
$A_T_On = $AThr . $ATmin;
}

//output to screen to debug results
echo "$A_T_On";
?>




THATS IT!!!!!
