[PHP]$names=sizeof($ temp);
$report="total= $names&";
foreach($temp as $list)
$report.="name" .$names--."=".$list." &";
echo $report;[/PHP]

from the above code the "total" is always undefine

I think in this instance php is treating total as a CONSTANT and not as a string..
You have to define a CONSTANT.
This code looks a real mess. What are youu trying to achieve?

hi you mention I have to define a CONSTANT what do you mean ? basically I am trying to store the number of name inside the variable name total and pass it to the actionsript to output it

So the output of the PHP code is being received by your Actionscript, which is unable to parse the "total=3" into a value?

There is nothing wrong with the PHP, this sounds like an actionscript problem.

hi can anyone explain to me what is this part of the code doing?
[PHP]
$report.="name" .$names--."=".$list." &";

[PHP]$report.="name" .$names--."=".$list." &";[/PHP] It is concatenating the following string onto the current value of $report

the word "name" + the value of $names-- + equals sign("=") + value of $list + ampersand ("&")
