First the PHP page looks like this:
echo “<search>”;
echo “<type name=’kumar’ />” ;
echo “<type name=’gandhi’ />” ;
echo “</search>”;
here we have to send data from PHP page in this format.Then to take data in to ComboBox we have to use a HTTPService and dataProvider Property of the ComboBox control.
<mx:HttpService id=”search” useproxy=”false” url=”first.php”/>
<mx:ComboBox id=”searchbox” dataProvider=”{search.lastResult.search.type}” labelField=”name” />
Here in the dataField property specifies which attribute value you wanted from the list.
Here name is the attribute of the <type> tag in PHP and that data i wanted it in the ComboBox list.thats it its simple and small try it..
Leave any comments for suggestions..

Kumar said:
It works fine and should work , r u getting any error message , r u sending the Httpservice , the code is correct.Plz have a look .
I don’t get an error message, the file is in the same directory, I don’t know what you mean by “sending the Httpservice”. The combobox just doesn’t get populated.
When you say “It works fine,”, whose code are you referring to, mine or yours?
Mine does not work.
Hi guys,
i tried this example. It worked. Only think i did was made few changes to the php page.
below is the php code to display states in XML format:
$sql = “select distinct state from schedule”;
$queryexe = odbc_do($connectionstring, $sql);
$cnt = 0;
$Return .= “”;
while(odbc_fetch_row($queryexe)){
$state = odbc_result($queryexe, 1);
$Return .= “”.$state.”";
}
$Return .= “”;
echo “$Return”;
MXML file:

Well, I figured it out.
The application tag needs a creationComplete=”search.send()”
Maybe you should specify this in your little blog post so newbies can actually use your example.
Thanks!

Hi,
Hence Flex is not document driven App we have views, the UI is divided into different views and these are views are made with different Components like TitleWindow,Canvas,Panel,..to CustomComponents , and these are loaded in to the App.So for your kind we can use States and Transitions in Flex they are very useful in this kind,just explore them you will find good example on that NP.

Thanx a lot Kumar………….
One more problem i am using datagrid in which i am showing list of users. In my datagrid there is last column having text as a Edit User.
Now on clicking Edit User i want to call one function having parameter as as userId of current record.
I am not getting how to pass UserId of current record to function…
Will u please help me………?
Thanx in advance
Regards,
Pradip Jadhav
Hi,
the current selected record can be accessed like , dg.selectedItem , if dataField of that column is USERID then it would look like, dg.selectedItem.USERID , it contains the selected userid as per your example.Note here dg is the id of the DataGrid.

Hi,

dataProvider=”{clients.lastResult.clientes.cliente}”
