Pulling data from PHP Error

[v5000]

Error opening URL 'http://www.lkmcomputers.co.uk/flash/lee_flash.php'
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: http://www.lkmcomputers.co.uk/flash/lee_flash.php
	at Tests2_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

Do i have to export the published SWF into the server and run it server side?

Yes, or setup crossdomain.xml.

What do you get if you do this

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.google.com");

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
loader.load(request);

function completeHandler(evt:Event) {
    trace("DATA : " + evt.target.data);
}

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.lkmcomputers.co.uk/flash/lee_flash.php");
request.method = URLRequestMethod.GET;

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
loader.load(request);

function completeHandler(evt:Event) {
    var data:URLVariables = evt.target.data as URLVariables;
    
    var error = data.oo_Error;
    var firstname = data.oo_Firstname;
    var surname = data.oo_Surname;
    var user = data.oo_User;
    var bob = data.oo_Bob;

    trace('Error = ' + error);

    trace('Your first name is ' + firstname);

    trace('Your surname is ' + surname);

    trace('Username is ' + user);

    trace('Bob ' + bob);
} 

it's working for me, traces:
Error = No
Your first name is Ashley
Your surname is Meadows
Username is Ash
Bob
