Sending string to php script using HttpConnection, OutputStream, POST

Question

I am currently building an imode application using DoJa 2.5 standards and the problem I'm having is that when I send a string to a php script using a HttpConnection object and an OuputStream object via Http POST method, It does not seem to be sent at all. You'll probably understand a little better if you read the following code:
* main.java
* DATE : 2005/12/19 14:47
import com.nttdocomo.ui.IApplication;
import com.nttdocomo.ui.Display;
import com.nttdocomo.util.Phone;
import com.nttdocomo.io.HttpConnection;
import java.io.*;
import javax.microedition.io.*;
import com.nttdocomo.net.URLEncoder;
* main
* @TetraCON
public class main extends IApplication
     // Declareer een object van de klasse Gebruiker
     public Gebruiker gebruiker;
     // Declareer een object van de mainpanel klasse
     private MainPanel mainPanel;
     public void start()
          //Maak object van Gebruiker aan met het sim_nr van de simkaart
          gebruiker = new Gebruiker(Phone.getProperty("terminal-id"));
          /* Testing... *************/
          System.out.println(gebruiker.getSim_nr());
          // Declareer een nog niet ingestelde HttpConnection
          HttpConnection con = null;
          OutputStream out = null;
          InputStream is = null;          
          try
               // Stel de parameters van de HttpConnection in en krijg er een object van
                //con = (HttpConnection)Connector.open( IApplication.getCurrentApp().getSourceURL() + "validate-terminal.php", Connector.READ_WRITE, true);
/* Testing.... ****************/
con = (HttpConnection)Connector.open( IApplication.getCurrentApp().getSourceURL() + "validate-terminal-test.php", Connector.READ_WRITE, true);
               con.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.POST);
               con.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
               // Declareer een OutputStream en link deze aan de HttpConnection
               out = con.openOutputStream();
               // Zet het te versturen sim_nr in de buffer van de OutputStream
               out.write((URLEncoder.encode("sim_nr=" + gebruiker.getSim_nr())).getBytes());
               // Sluit de OutputStream
               out.close();
               // Maak verbinding met de server en verstuur het sim_nr
               con.connect();
               // Declareer een InputStream en link deze aan de HttpConnection
               is = con.openInputStream();
               // Declareer een byte array van 20 bytes om de data in op te vangen
               byte[] b = new byte[200];
               // Roep de read methode van de InputStream aan om de data in de byte array te zetten
               is.read(b);
               // Sluit de InputStream
               is.close();
               // Sluit de verbinding
               con.close();
               // Geef de gebruikersnaam uit de byte array aan het attribuut van gebruiker of geef geen toegang
/* Testing..... **********************/
               System.out.println(new String(b));
          catch(Exception e)
               System.out.println(e.toString());
               try
                    if(out != null) out.close();
                    if(is != null) is.close();
                    if(con != null) con.close();
               catch(Exception e2)
                    System.out.println("Exception: " + e2.toString());
          // initialiseer het mainpanel
          mainPanel = new MainPanel();
          // Geef het mainPanel weer
          Display.setCurrent(mainPanel);
}The data I'm trying to submit does not show up in the $_POST variable in PHP as it should.
Is there anybody out there who can tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Hi Antoni, you can delete the 'mx:request' section and pass
the 'registrationModel' object into the send parameters.
Code should be:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.Alert;
public function submitForm():void {
formSender.cancel();
formSender.send(registrationModel);
//formSender.showBusyCursor = true;
Alert.show("Your request has been send successfully.", "Send
Report", Alert.OK , this);
//resetForm();
private function getResultOk(r:Number,event:Event):void{
if(!r){
Alert.show('Error sending data!!');
return;
Alert.show( String(this.formSender.lastResult) );
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:HTTPService id="formSender"
url="
http://www.yourdomain.com/mailer.php"
method="POST" showBusyCursor="true" useProxy="false"
result="getResultOk(1,event)"
fault="getResultOk(0,event)" >
</mx:HTTPService>
<mx:Model id="registrationModel">
<firstname>{firstname.text}</firstname>
<lastname>{lastname.text}</lastname>
<email>{email.text}</email>
<position>{position.text}</position>
</mx:Model>
<mx:Form width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:TextInput id="firstname" text="pepe"/>
<mx:TextInput id="lastname" text="lopez"/>
<mx:TextInput id="email" text="[email protected]"/>
<mx:TextInput id="position" text="director"/>
<mx:Button label="send" click="submitForm()"/>
</mx:Form>
</mx:Application>
And php...
<?
echo 'OK: Vars received:'.count($_POST)."\n";
foreach($_POST as $k=>$v){
echo $k.'='.$v."\n";
exit;
?>
