getURL question

Hello, I have a problem that I am trying to figure out.
I have the following onRelease function

link=currentbutton.attributes.CID;
button.link=link;

I am pulling the information from a xml file that I am using to send to a $_request in a php script. I can get it to work locally if I use the entire web address

example
button.onRelease = function(){getURL(“http://www.thesite.com.index.php?Page=”+this.link)}

but when it on the webserver It does nothing. I have tried both the previous example and the next example on the webserver

button.onRelease = function(){getURL(“index.php?Page=”+this.link)}

Nothing happens.

The .swf and the index.php are located in the same directory.

It might be due to the fact that the webserver is linux, I am not sure yet. I am going to throw it up on a windows server running php to find out.

I am going to keep plugging away. Any help would be appreciated.
