Invalid Markup error using Datawizard

[camranhameed]

Hello Folks,

I am new to flex development. I was going through a video tutorial that showed how to connect database with flex.

The steps i followed, according to the tutorial were

1. Create a database in wamp and import an sql file (provided by the author)

2. Create a Flex Project and set server side application language as PHP

3. Create a data grid using datawizard, make a connection, select table and primary key and finish

4. Run Application

While the author;s application shows entries from database, i having followed the same steps get the error

Connection error: Error #1088: The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed.

I not added any line. All done through data wizard...

Can any one help?

I can't stand using wizards for this kind of thing.

These links will help you have a better understanding of using Flex, PHP, MySQL and JSON:

I guess you are using wamp or mamp. Referred to as *amp in the following.

Please download the PHP 5.2.9, and install it. And tell *amp to use PHP 5.2.9.

I have not been able to find out why PHP 5.3 does not work, but 5.2.9 does work.

Bonjour

Many thanks !

I was about to give up because of this 1088 error ... your solution worked it out, at least for me.

I guess it will really help all newbies like me who recently installed their WAMP server, and try and learn based on youtube tutorials developed on older versions than PHP 5.30 !

Would nevertheless be happy to understand why it works.
