Read data in to ArrayCollection.[using HttpService]

First the HttpService looks like this:

<mx:HTTPService id=”productlist” url=”product_list.php” useProxy=”false” showBusyCursor=”true” result=”readProducts(event)”/>

Now define the handler on result :

import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;

[Bindable]
private var prods:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();

private function readProducts(event:ResultEvent):void
{
prods=(event.result.product.items);
}

and my PHP[product_list.php] page will output data like below:[just echo of each line]

<product>

<items>

<name>pen</name>

</items>

</product>

Now the AC variable prods has the data from PHP file[product_list.php].

Now u can give this prods as dataprovider to DataGrid.

Leave any comments for suggestions.

    I only need to read an arraycollection, what do I do?

  4. kumargandhi Says:

    there is no concept of ArrayCollection in PHP and as far as i know in other technologies also , so we have to do type casting here and thats what iam doing here, i think iam correct , comment me if iam wrong.
