Question

I am trying create system in which I can login from php and then go directly to the flex project. The flex project already has login system but I want to bypass that and use the login system created in php. For testing I created a simple mxml file and one html page. Using the object tag and flashvars I passed the username and password into the swf and displayed using label. But my project is very big and want to pass username and password without using the swf of the project. Is that possible?

Your question is not very clear, but still, here goes nothing:

My understanding:

You have a flex app, and you want to restrict access to it using password validation in php

My solution:

1. Create a simple login form, which submits to login.php
2. Create a application.php, which will display the flex app

login.php:

<?php
    if(isset($_POST['username']) && isset($_POST['password'])) {
        //check for valid username and password
        if( /* valid login */ ) {
            $_SESSION['isloggedin']=true;
            header("Location: application.php");
        } else {
            $_SESSION['isloggedin']=false;
        }
    } else {
        $_SESSION['isloggedin']=false;
    }
?>

application.php

<?php
    if(isset($_SESSION['isloggedin']) && $_SESSION['isloggedin']) {
        include("./myFlexAppPage.html");
    } else {
        header("Location: login.php");
    }
?>
