Question

Here’s what I’m trying to do …

Im using Flash to call an AMFPHP service that queries my database and returns the result resource. Before returning the result to the Flash movie I need to edit some of the values in the result resource.

How can i iterate through the rows of the result, change some values and ‘repackage’ the resource to return to Flash?

I have thought of –

$sql = sprintf('SELECT file_name FROM ....'); $result = mysql_query($sql); while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){      $row['file_name'] = performFunctionOn($row['file_name']); } $row = 0; if(!mysql_data_seek($result,$row))continue; return $result 

I am trying to change the filename that is stored in the database and trying to avoid sending a long string back to Flash which i realise is the simple way to do this.

many thanks Stephen

If you want to replace all selected values with a literal constant, you can do the following:

$sql = sprintf('SELECT 'INeedToChangeThis' FROM ....'); $result = mysql_query($sql); return $result 

If you want to change your data on the fly, you’ll probably need to derive a custom class from mysqli_stmt and override mysqli_stmt::fetch so that is updates the referenced variable after calling parent fetch.

Here‘s a nice tutorial on how to derive a custom class from mysqli_stmt.
