pure php upload for Flash MX's xml.sendandload()

pure php upload for Flash MX's xml.sendandload() I am trying to build a form in Flash MX that would allow users to upload images to their directories within a site, and information about the image to a database. The preferred route to achieving this is through flash's xml.sendandload(); method. The only problem is that I have been unable to find any support, extensions or tutorials on how to convert $RAW_POST_FILES-provided xml to SAX-parsed variables to pure php upload compatable information. Trying to hot-wire it myself, I feel like that kid Data from The Goonies minus the confidence and pride in my work. I would love an version of pure php upload, or even a "hot-wiring for dummies" help file extension (or, heavean forbid, a matching tutorial) that would allow me to upload files without having to rely on an html form and a .js file that I ultimately can't use. Thanks.
