Need help sending variables to php

programming flash

I desperately need help sending variables from AS3 to PHP. I have been searching and trying for days to work it out but nothing seems to work. I have a swf which will be used for quotes, each part asks things like size, colour and other options. It has a summary part at the end that shows everything that has been added. I want to send these variables with there values to a PHP page to send an email. I can work out the PHP bit and I have tried several things to get the variables sent to the PHP but nothing seems to work.

I want to send the variables to php when the submit button is clicked, it goes to the test PHP page which should then print the variables but it is blank. I have searched the internet for days and then I have tried lots of adjustments but still can’t figure it out. I would really appreciate it if someone could check my code and let me know where I am going wrong. I am hoping the problem might be obvious to someone who knows more about it.

Here is the code I have at the moment:
ActionScript Code:


btnSubmit1.[COLOR=#000000]addEventListener[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]
  MouseEvent.[COLOR=#000000]MOUSE_UP[/COLOR],
  [COLOR=#993300]function[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]evt:MouseEvent[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR]:[COLOR=#993300]void[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]
        
        PHPSendData[COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR]

        variables.[COLOR=#000000]orderEmail[/COLOR] = txtEmailInput.[COLOR=#993300]text[/COLOR]

        variables.[COLOR=#000000]orderInlet2[/COLOR] = strFinalInlet2
        variables.[COLOR=#000000]orderOutlet1[/COLOR] = strFinalOutlet1
        variables.[COLOR=#000000]orderOutlet2[/COLOR] = strFinalOutlet2
        variables.[COLOR=#000000]orderOverflow1[/COLOR] = strFinalOverflow1
        variables.[COLOR=#000000]orderOverflow2[/COLOR] = strFinalOverflow2     
         
         myData.[COLOR=#993300]data[/COLOR] = variables

         [COLOR=#993300]var[/COLOR] loader:URLLoader = [COLOR=#993300]new[/COLOR] URLLoader[COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR]

         loader.[COLOR=#993300]load[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]myData[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR]
      [COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]
      
     [COLOR=#993300]function[/COLOR] doComplete[COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]anEvent:Event[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR]:[COLOR=#993300]void[/COLOR]
      [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]
         response.[COLOR=#993300]text[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#0000ff]"POST Complete = "[/COLOR] + anEvent.[COLOR=#993300]target[/COLOR].[COLOR=#993300]data[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000000]submitted[/COLOR]
      [COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]

Here is the PHP code for the test page:


<?php
$email=$_POST['orderEmail'];
echo "Email=" . "$email";
?>

I’m new to AS3 so not too sure about anything but I’m not even sure if I need the loader bit or the function doComplete but I have tried it with and without and it doesn’t make a difference.

Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.
