Pass vars to PHP

1

hey is it possible to pass a variable through to PHP and onto an email???
kinda like

 
var name_var = "myname";
var location_var = "where im at";
 
send_button.onRelease = function()
{
 
var formData:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var formData.name = name_var;
var formData.location = location_var;
formData.sendAndLoad("http://www.mysite.com/contact_process.php",_blank,"POST");
 
formData.onLoad = function()
{
if(formData.message_sent == "ok")
{ 
gotoAndStop(2); 
}
else
{ 
gotoAndStop(3); 
}
}
}


<?php
// Send the message
$mailfrom="<$_POST[email]>";
$email=blah@mysite.com;
$subject="order form ";
Location:$_POST[location]<br><br>[name]
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0
";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
";
$headers .= "From: ". $mailfrom."
";
mail($email,$subject,$data,$headers);
echo "message_sent=ok";
?>

I just threw this together from others.
I guess i might as well test it.

Where is this php variable set or is it global to all the data passed??
