swf_closefile -- Close the current Shockwave Flash file

Description

void swf_closefile ( [int return_file])

Close a file that was opened by the swf_openfile() function. If the return_file parameter is set then the contents of the SWF file are returned from the function.

Example 1. Creating a simple flash file based on user input and outputting it and saving it in a database

<?php

// The $text variable is submitted by the
// user

// Global variables for database
// access (used in the swf_savedata() function)
$DBHOST = "localhost";
$DBUSER = "sterling";
$DBPASS = "secret";

swf_openfile ("php://stdout", 256, 256, 30, 1, 1, 1);

    swf_definefont (10, "Ligon-Bold");
        swf_fontsize (12);
        swf_fontslant (10);
    
    swf_definetext (11, $text, 1);
    
    swf_pushmatrix ();
        swf_translate (-50, 80, 0);
        swf_placeobject (11, 60);
    swf_popmatrix ();

    swf_showframe ();
  
    swf_startdoaction ();
        swf_actionstop ();
    swf_enddoaction ();

$data = swf_closefile (1);

$data ?
  swf_savedata ($data) :
  die ("Error could not save SWF file");

// void swf_savedata (string data)
// Save the generated file a database
// for later retrieval
function swf_savedata ($data)
{
    global $DBHOST, 
           $DBUSER,
           $DBPASS;
    
    $dbh = @mysql_connect ($DBHOST, $DBUSER, $DBPASS);

    if (!$dbh) {
        die (sprintf ("Error [%d]: %s",
                      mysql_errno (), mysql_error ()));
    }

    $stmt = "INSERT INTO swf_files (file) VALUES ('$data')";

    $sth = @mysql_query ($stmt, $dbh);

    if (!$sth) {
        die (sprintf ("Error [%d]: %s",
                      mysql_errno (), mysql_error ()));
    }

    @mysql_free_result ($sth);
    @mysql_close ($dbh);
}
