getURL and POST - am I missing something?

[jonperks]

When I click a button the below code sends me to the url witha long query string with all my variables.

myButton.onRelease = function(){
	getURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.domian.com",[/URL] "_self", "GET");
}

Works great. However I want it to look tidy and want to send the variables via POST...

myButton.onRelease = function(){
	getURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.domian.com",[/URL] "_self", "POST");
}

It just doesn't work. Makes no sense to me... I know the variables are ok as GET works fine.. Any ideas?

Is your server side script written to accept POST?

yep - no problems there...

Try LoadVars Class instead of getURL() to see if it works - you can control which variables to send as well.

LoadVars works fine - however I need to got to the page at the same time...

LoadVars.send() does that - you specify the target such as "_self" as in getURL().

I've always used LoadVars for processing stuff with PHP in the background. Form submits etc... I've just tried it again now and it doesn't send me to the page?

Does your server script return the page?
