I am attempting to send a string
to a PHP
file on a remote server using POST
and `GET, the PHP then writes the string to a text file.
My code (below) compiles and runs without error, however when the submit button is pressed there is no action. I.e. the toast
does not display and when I check the text file
that is written to from my PHP
file on the server, there is nothing.
Am I missing something very obvious that would cause this not to work? (note: "my_url" is there on purpose, that is not the error)

// Write the contents to the file,
