GuestBook Data saving

[phorte]

hi.. okay.. i need advice for how i should do something in flash..

what i want to do is make a kind of guestbook thing.. and what i need to do is just store the data of each post into a data file on the website..

I was thinking that i could do it with SharedObjects.. as i know how to use them and that was what i was goin to try first.. but.. is this the best way to do it?? will it work on the web or will it only work locally on a computer..

Should i be using php or xml or somtin like that?? If so.. how would i do that cause i dont have a clue at all.. =S

Thanks in advance for you help.. =)

I heard PHP is the best way, there should be a tutorial in the 'best of kirupa' section somewhere. I'll see if i can find it :) And what'd you mean by shared objects??

i think you use

getURL and use the POST method.

then, you use the GET method later on. Not too sure :-\ I couldn't find the tutorial in the best of kirupa, may try a search in the flash MX section...

hmm.. POST method.. =S hmm. i have absolutely now experience with php pages.. so.. its all very confusing to me.. but..

When i said about SharedObjects i meant these :http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary648.html

But do you know if these can be run of a server not of the local machine.. =S
