Hi, Unless I am doing something incorrect (spent the day on it), I can't get legacy Flash (swf) http form posts to be handled with Drupal. For example, we have a custom swf avatar builder. The swf, onsubmit, does a POST with a single parameter. (I don't have the source, but could legally decompile it and add extra fields(?) for the form identifiers, if that could help. I know less Flash than PHP) I was thinking the easiest way to go would be to make a simple interface: $DRUPAL/avatar.php <?php if (!empty($_POST)) { require_once './includes/bootstrap.inc'; drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL); $account = $GLOBALS['user']; dd('save $account: ' . $account); $avatar_xml = $_POST['avatarXML'];// it is url encoded dd('save $avatar_xml: ' . $avatar_xml); } else { header('HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed'); } I get the log entries written and the parameter value, but I don't get a page user object. What I want to do in this case is save a single profile field value, 'profile_avatar_xml' which is added at registration time with default data. How can I get to the 'global $user;' (which I tried) object so I can set: $user->profile_avatar_xml = $_POST['avatarXML']; thanks, -Rob
