Step One: A PHP Enabled Server

Note: If you already have a PHP enabled server skip this step.

Flash runs in the Browser. This is why the viewer has to have the Plug in to be able to see the Flash Movie. Most web Browser now come with the Flash Plug In already installed. The point is that it is the Browser on the viewers local computer that is doing all the work. This is why Flash cannot save file to the web server - it is not running on the server but on the users computer. The users computer is called the Client as opposed to the Server.

PHP is a Server Side Script. This means that the script runs on the web server before the browser reads the web page.

So PHP works like this:

1. Client requests a web page with PHP content.
2. Server runs PHP script.
3. PHP script dynamically creates data requested.
4. Web page reads this data and displays the web page.

Important: Check to see if your Remote Server is PHP Enabled

Before you can use PHP you need to make sure your web server is PHP Enabled. Without this you cannot run the PHP script. Almost all web providers will offer a PHP Enabled Server. So before you do anything check that your provider offers this service. Some web providers offer this by default and other you have to request for them to enable (or activate) it before you can run any PHP script. Some providers may charge you a small amount to do this.
