Hi all,

So Now I have the xml in flash and I need to pass it to php (to update aa database), but I’m having problems getting the xml into flash.  
Here is the simple flash code I’m using to test the code.

```auto

theDoc = new XML("<search>tesing</search>");
theDoc.contentType = "text/xml";
theDoc.send("http://localhost:8888/a/xmlTest.php", "_blank");

```

and in the php I’m simple tring to see if the php has turned up.

```php

<?php
	print_r($_POST['theDoc']);
?>

```

The php page produces a html page wth an error message saying the xml is a undefined index.

If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.
