Backend and Flash, Where are all the geeks?

It's my opinion that Flash is not used enough in combination with PHP and/or Perl. I thought I'd show everyone how we created the Ask Leaphy searchable database on http://www.odslinux.com Naturally it can be adapted to any searchable database.

The way it works is quite simple. You insert keyword data into the database in the following format:

keyword                                      question                                                                                             answer
age personal information           How old are you?                                                                26
zyx1001                                Where can I find information on your zyx10001 product?            http://www.yoursite.com/products?id=zyx1001
contact phone information        How can we contact you?                                                    555-1212

The PHP and Flash do the rest. The PHP will scan the database for any matches, then return them in a scrollable window on the Flash. Clicking on any of the returned questions will then find the answer on the db.
