problem sending vars from flash to php

[SplitNwigS]

having an unusual problem sending vars to php. it is sending the var but my flash game is being unloaded off the site once the var is sent.

if there is another way to send VARS please let me know, OR maybe my code is wrong. any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

function sender()
{
	varsToSend = new LoadVars();
	varsToSend.var1 = beatTimer;
	varsToSend.var2 = enemyScore;
	varsToSend.var3 = playerScore;
	varsToSend.var4 = beatTimer;
	varsToSend.var5 = flawless;
	varsToSend.var6 = comeBack;
	varsToSend.send("http://code.com/gamefiles/gg_test.php","_self","POST")
		trace(varsToSend);
}
