Hi.  
I have read several tutorials on PHP and Flash here on [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com)  
I just don’t think the tutorials are basic enough.  
I tried to make a simple flash file that sends some variables to a php-script, which manipulates the variables and send them right back to Flash.

I have these things on my stage.

- An input field with var = “name”
- An dynamic field with var = “greeting”
- A button with actions:

```auto
on (release) {
     loadVariables ("phpscript.php", 0, "POST");
}

```

- A php-script file (phpscript.php):

```php
<?
// Receiving the variables.
$name = $_POST['name'];

// Sending variables to Flash.
print "greeting = Hello" . $name . "how are you";
?>

```

But nothing happens when I upload the files to my web-server and runs them.  
Does anyone know whats wrong?
