I am trying to have a flash movie send a variable to a php script and have the php script echo the variable into a browser

What I have as of now is a button and an input text box  
The textbox variable is “data”, of course with out the quotes.  
The actionscript for the button is as follows:

on (release) {  
loadVariablesNum(“phpscript.php”, 0, “POST”);  
}

Now my php script is as follows:

?php  
echo "html head /head body $data /body /html ";  
?

I do have the \<\> signs in my php code I just could not get it to display correctly in the forum  
I am going mad, what am I doing wrong?  
I am using PHP4  
Please help…

WOOHOOOO!!!  
I mucked with my actionscript for a few and got it to werk.

actionscript used:

on (release) {  
textbox.send(“[http://helpdeskweb/hdweb/dbegley/test.php](http://helpdeskweb/hdweb/dbegley/test.php)”, “”,“POST”);  
getURL(“[http://helpdeskweb/hdweb/dbegley/test.php](http://helpdeskweb/hdweb/dbegley/test.php)”, “\_blank”, “GET”);  
}

I used the same PHP script as well.

Thanks for you help
