Need help connecting to PHP

Hi everyone,

Iam using CS4, AS3.0. And I am trying to connect my swf to PHP with not much luck. Instead of receiving what is in the print command I get the whole php-document back. It seems PHP is not executing at all. Can anybody help. (PS.: I don;t know much about php at all)

The following is just a very reduced random example that I am using to figure this out. It has no purpose, but to serve me as a test run, and that doesn’t work either.

Here is my php test code:

<?php>
$name=&_POST['user'];
$alter=&_POST['age'];

$userInf="$name";
$userInf .="idNum=1005";

if ($alter>18)
{
print $userInf;
}

?>

Here is my Actionscript Code (minus the texfield creation and all that):

function goPHP() {
                var phpFile:String="http://localhost/geloest.php";//
                var variables:URLVariables=new URLVariables  ;
                variables.user="Markus";
                variables.age=36;

                var urlRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest(phpFile);
                urlRequest.data=variables;
                urlRequest.method=URLRequestMethod.POST;
                
                var testloader:URLLoader=new URLLoader();
                testloader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,receiveMSG);
                testloader.load(urlRequest);

            }
            function receiveMSG(e:Event):void{
                var urlLoader:URLLoader = URLLoader(e.target);
                var args:URLVariables =new URLVariables(urlLoader.data);
                generalTxtBox.text=args.toString();
                post();
            }
            
            function post(){
                addChild(generalTxtBox);
            }

I get the following result in my text box:

%3C%3Fphp%3E%0D%0A%24name=&%5FPOST%5B%27user%27%5D%3B%0D%0A%24alter=&%5FPOST%5B%27age%27%5D%3B%0D%0A%0D%0A%24userInf=%22%24name%22%3B%0D%0A%24userInf%20%2E%3D%22idNum%3D1005%22%3B%0D%0A%0D%0Aif%20%28%24alter%3E18%29%0D%0A%7B%0D%0Aprint%20%24userInf%3B%0D%0A%7D%0D%0A%0D%0A%3F%3E

When I change

generalTxtBox.text=args.toString();

to

generalTxtBox.text=args.userInf.idNum;

the output window states that it is null

Pleeeeease help.
