my_LoadVars.sendAndLoad() not sending any content

1

[FLASH 8 , AS2] hi everyone … I’ve allowed myself to request help on this one. I’ve been stuck for quite some time now :x

here’s the situation:


function writeUpdates(textje:String) {
 sendingLV = new LoadVars();
 receivingLV = new LoadVars();
 receivingLV.onLoad = function(success)
 {
  if(success)
  {
   openLogging("connetion succeeded", false); //box displaying the message
  }else{
   openLogging("unable to communicate",false); //box displaying the message
  }
 }
 sendingLV.inputData = textje;
 trace(sendingLV.toString());
 sendingLV.sendAndLoad("verwerkUpdates.php",lvIn,"POST");
}

the output of the “trace” command right before sending (which proves the loadvars is not empty) is as follows:

inputData=%0D%0DSuggesties%20december%20%0D%0D%0D%0DVoorgerechten%0D%0DD%0D%0D%E2%99%A6%0D%0DDesserten%0D%0DBordje%20met%20zachte%20kazen%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%E2%82%AC%20%209%2E5%0D%0DZwart%20woud%20gebak%20met%20een%20coulie%20van%20krieken%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%2D%E2%82%AC%20%206%2E5%0D%0D%20%20%20%0D%0D%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20Geniet%20ervan%21%21%21

and here’s my PHP file which should process the "POST’


<?php
$xmlString = $_POST['inputData'];
$newXML = str_replace("\\\"","\"",$xmlString);
$newerXML = str_replace("&","en",$newXML);
 
if (is_null($xmlString)) {
 echo "phpTXT = nothing sent";
}
else {
 
 
 $file = fopen("file.txt", "w");
 if(!fwrite($file, $newerXML)){
  echo "phpTXT = Error writing to file";
 }
 echo $xmlString."
";
 fclose($file);
 
} 
?>

So:

  • i know PHP is receiving the request, but the $xmlString remains empty;
  • the permissions on all related files are 777;
  • all related files are stored in the same directory;

Does anyone have an idea ?
Thanks,
Jeroen
