Example 1. Creating a simple flash file based on user input and outputting it and saving it in a database

<?php

// The $text variable is submitted by the
// user

// Global variables for database
// access (used in the swf_savedata() function)
$DBHOST = "localhost";
$DBUSER = "sterling";
$DBPASS = "secret";

swf_openfile("php://stdout", 256, 256, 30, 1, 1, 1);

    
swf_definefont(10, "Ligon-Bold");
        
swf_fontsize(12);
        
swf_fontslant(10);
    
    
swf_definetext(11, $text, 1);
    
    
swf_pushmatrix();
        
swf_translate(-50, 80, 0);
        
swf_placeobject(11, 60);
    
swf_popmatrix();

    
swf_showframe();
  
    
swf_startdoaction();
        
swf_actionstop();
    
swf_enddoaction();

$data = swf_closefile(1);

$data ?
  
swf_savedata($data) :
  die(
"Error could not save SWF file");

// void swf_savedata(string data)
// Save the generated file a database
// for later retrieval
function swf_savedata($data)
{
    global
$DBHOST,
           
$DBUSER,
           
$DBPASS;
    
    
$dbh = @mysql_connect($DBHOST, $DBUSER, $DBPASS);

    if (!
$dbh) {
        die (
sprintf("Error [%d]: %s",
                      
mysql_errno(), mysql_error()));
    }

    
$stmt = "INSERT INTO swf_files (file) VALUES ('$data')";

    
$sth = @mysql_query($stmt, $dbh);

    if (!
$sth) {
        die (
sprintf("Error [%d]: %s",
                      
mysql_errno(), mysql_error()));
    }

    @
mysql_free_result($sth);
    @
mysql_close($dbh);
}
?>
