Is there a reason why you don't want to use the web server to wait and respond to the flash request. Your script could be set up to receive the request via HTTP GET or POST or RAW POST and respond over the same path. You would still be able to retain session data and if needed you could pull this off on SSL for data encryption. Beyond that you would be taking advantage of a mature socket listener that is part of the web server. This could handle many multiples of your flash files connecting to it simultaneously.

I'm not trying to discourage you in anyway, i hope you accomplish what you need, but are you aware of the new TinCan project by Macromedia?

I worked with this a bit, and it definately does what you are asking, and more.
Not a PHP solution... But maybe something of value, regarldess.
Good Luck!
