Using XMLLoader to call PHP script?

I've been using XMLLoader to write XML files via a php script:

private static function sendXML($xml:XML):void {
			
			// declaring var xmlcontents String. You should set this first.
			var xmlcontents:String  = $xml.toString();
			
			// declaring var SERVER_PATH String. This is the path for the saving-xml.php.
			var SERVER_PATH:String = TTConstants.SERVER_PATH + "/php/";

			// declaring var foldername String. This is the folder container of the saved XML file
			var foldername:String = "../xml";


			// declaring var dataPass URLVariables
			var dataPass:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
			
			var previewRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(TTConstants.SERVER_PATH + "/php/ttwrite.php");

			previewRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
			
			
			// setting dataPass variables to be passed to PHP
			dataPass.filename = USER_XML_FILENAME;
			dataPass.xmlcontents = xmlcontents;
			dataPass.foldername = foldername;

			// passing dataPass data PHP
			previewRequest.data = dataPass;


			var loader:XMLLoader = new XMLLoader(previewRequest, {onComplete:serverSendComplete,onIOError:onIOError,onSecurityError:onSecError,onError:onError});


			// calling the PHP or loading the PHP
			loader.load();
		}

I want to call a PHP script to simply delete ("unlink") an xml file on the server.  Can I use XMLLoader to do this as well (for ease of complete and error functions -- callbacks instead of adding/removing event listeners)?  There's no XML loading involved, so I don't know if it's 'kosher' -

		var deleteRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://localhost/tt/php/ttdelete.php");
				deleteRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
					var loader:XMLLoader = new XMLLoader(deleteRequest, {onComplete:serverDeleteComplete,onIOError:onIOError,onSecurityError:onSecError,onError:onError});


					// calling the PHP or loading the PHP
					loader.load();

Yeah, its a little unorthodox, and I haven't tried if for myself, but give it a shot.

Its not the type of thing we can support or test unfortunately.

I would think that if your server produces a response from that request, it could work fine.

OK,thanks. 

 

It is fine, however, to use the XMLLoader to send XML data to a php script to write to the server, though?  I'm sure I read this in the APIs or forum or somewhere — and I'm using the technique (which seems to work fine) in code shipping next week, so I want to be sure.

 

No, of course, never ask you to troubleshoot PHP code (I'm not a PHP person but found some workable code I could use, which, as said, works fine).  But I'm keen to know if XMLLoader is designed to load and send XML data, via a technique as below.  As I said, I believe I read that it was (but perhaps I'm dreaming :->)

	private static function sendXML($xml:XML):void {
			
			// declaring var xmlcontents String. You should set this first.
			var xmlcontents:String  = $xml.toString();
			
			// declaring var SERVER_PATH String. This is the path for the saving-xml.php.
			var SERVER_PATH:String = TTConstants.SERVER_PATH + "/php/";

			// declaring var foldername String. This is the folder container of the saved XML file
			var foldername:String = "../xml";


			// declaring var dataPass URLVariables
			var dataPass:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
			
			var previewRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(TTConstants.SERVER_PATH + "/php/ttwrite.php");

			previewRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
			
			
			// setting dataPass variables to be passed to PHP
			dataPass.filename = USER_XML_FILENAME;
			dataPass.xmlcontents = xmlcontents;
			dataPass.foldername = foldername;

			// passing dataPass data PHP
			previewRequest.data = dataPass;


			var loader:XMLLoader = new XMLLoader(previewRequest, {onComplete:serverSendComplete,onIOError:onIOError,onSecurityError:onSecError,onError:onError});


			// calling the PHP or loading the PHP
			loader.load();
		}
