POST / Recieving Problems

Question

Hello,
I'm having a problem with my applet. I am sending POST variables to a PHP page and then recieving new info back from it. However, it doesn't seem to want to send the info back... It does seem like it is sending it though, because the applet kinda freezes for a few seconds. I am not getting any problems in the console... Can anybody help me? The relevent code is as follows:
       try
        // Construct data
         String data = URLEncoder.encode("key1", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode("value1", "UTF-8");
         data += "&" + URLEncoder.encode("key2", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode("value2", "UTF-8");
     // Send data
         URL url = new URL("http://www.loaded-designs.com/posttest/posttest.php");
         URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
         conn.setDoOutput(true);
         OutputStreamWriter wr = new OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
         wr.write(data);
         wr.flush();
            // Get the response
             BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
             String line;
             while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null)
            getback_Label.setText("The PHP variables are below:");
            getback_Label2.setText("line");
         overallLayout.show(cardPanel, "3");
             wr.close();
         rd.close();
      catch (Exception ex)
          ex.printStackTrace();
        } ... and posttest.php look like this:
<?php
$test = "vars working";
$test1 = "$_POST[key1]";
$test2 = "$_POST[key2]";
if($test1 = "value1")
   $test1 = "itworked";
  } else {
   $test1 = "didnotwork";
?>Anybody see my errors? Please, I need to resolve this matter! Any help is appreciated!
Anybody? Please?
Thanks in advance,
- Jeff

Hi,
Thanks for your response - What exactly am I supposed to do with it? I am really new to Java... From what I've gathered, doesn't the line variable give me the output from the PHP script? Thats why I put it into a JLabel so it is viewable in the applet. Shouldn't it give me something like "test1=itworked&test2=value2" ?
Btw, my night job is playing in a speed metal band, and I don't plan on giving it up! haha... :-)
UPDATE:
I realized that the quotes that encased the line variable was making it show the text "line"... I know, stupid mistake on my part. However, nothing shows up in the JLabel. But, when I do a System.out.println, the line DOES show up in the console. HOWEVER, when I put the line "does it read this?" before the <? echo "$test1" ?> in the PHP file, the JLabel shows up with "itworked". The new PHP file looks like this:
<?php
$test = "vars working";
$test1 = "$_POST[key1]";
$test2 = "$_POST[key2]";
if($test1 = "value1")
   $test1 = "itworked";
  } else {
   $test1 = "didnotwork";
?>
does it read this?
<? echo "$test1" ?>Why the heck does this happen? The JLabel reads only "itworked" from $test1, it doesn't even display "does it read this?" . But if I don't have "does it read this?" it comes up blank! Does anybody know what is happening here?
