Problem with HttpService POST

Question

I'm trying to send some data to PHP using HTTPService POST but for some reason it's not working.

The same example works with GET but not with POST:

private function start():void{
    var param:Object = {};
    param.date = "2010-10-10";
    userRequest.send(param);
    userRequest.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, result);
    userRequest.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, fault);
}

private function fault(e:FaultEvent):void{
    trace(e.message);
}

private function result(e:ResultEvent):void{
    trace(e.result);    
}

<mx:HTTPService id="userRequest"
                url="http://localhost:8888/api"
                useProxy="false" 
                method="POST"/>

And here's the PHP code:

$d = $_POST['date'];
echo $d;
if($d == ""){
    trace("Date not found!");
    die();
}

This is the error I'm getting:

"Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: http://localhost:8888/api"

But when I change the method in HTTPService to GET and in PHP I get the result as expected - PHP sends back the date:

2010-10-10

What am I doing wrong?

This started working after I replaced

http://localhost:8888/api

with

http://localhost:8888/api/index.php
