Hi all,

For some frustrating reasons, Flash MX is refusing to send data to my PHP page using the POST method. Here’s the code I use:

```auto

dataLoader.send("http://localhost/coe/register.php", "_self", "POST");

```

However, it always got send as a GET. I have no idea why, and the strangest thing of all is that sendng by POST was working only a couple of days ago! I didnt touch the Flash file save for the PHP script.

Any ideas?
