Problem with Javascript calling PHP pages in WebGL

I seem to be having issues with calling PHP pages from Unity when compiled into WebGL (HTML5). I have followed multiple tutorials online with posting and retreiving high scores.

All works fine when testing in Unity, it just fails after compiling. Can anyone help?

Just in case, here is the most basic script (I've written about 10 variations to try and see why this is not working). Which, as I say, works fine in Unity, just not in compiled form:

 var ScoreList : GameObject;
 
 function Start ()
 {
     var highscoreURL = "myurl.net/display.php";
     var hs_get = new WWW("http://"+highscoreURL);
 
     yield hs_get;
 
      // and check for errors
     if (hs_get.error == null)
     {
         // request completed!
         var help = hs_get.text;
         ScoreList.GetComponent.<Text>().text = help;
     } 
     else 
     {
         // something wrong!
         Debug.Log("WWW Error: "+ hs_get.error);
         ScoreList.GetComponent.<Text>().text = "LOADING FAILED";
     }
 }

So When Running in Unity, my PHP returns the Hiscores into my text box. When run from browser when compiled. I get "LOADING FAILED" in the text box. The hs_get.error just returns "Unknown Error".
