Code

This is my first php code, so please be lenient with my beginner's mistakes. This code is not yet ready to be used in practice. I have only tested it really quickly and it worked. I have no clue what kind of security holes it has and what consequences it might bring. I suppose that with this code, scripts and java should be disabled but I'm not sure for I am not a Flash expert. Please use with caution.
