You want to use a combination of URLRequest, URLVariables and URLLoader to do this. See the below.

var myData:URLRequest = new URLRequest("some.php");
myData.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;

var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
variables.username = 'CREATED USERNAME';

myData.data = variables;

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

function dataOnLoad(evt:Event){
    trace('Completed');
}

This would then call the 'some.php' file with your username stored in '$_POST['username']'. Your php script can then make an impression on the db linking that username to that session (however you want to do that).
