Which PHP array are you using to access user variables? If you're
using $_GET, then your AJAX Post variables won't show up in the
application, I usually use $_REQUEST. Also, have you thought of using
the jQuery ajax abstraction methods? Something like this should do the
trick (not tested):

$.ajaxError(function(request, settings){
alert('An error has occurred!');
});

function loadModuleHTML(p_id, p_moduleIndex) {
$.post('get_file_contents.php',{mod_index:p_moduleIndex},function(data){
$("#"+p_id).empty().append('<div class="sortListInner">'+data+'</div>');
});

$(function(){
loadModuleHTML('li0',0);
});

I noticed that you're using some plain Jane JavaScript, like
'getElementById', etc. In case you haven't already, you should check
out all the amazing things jQuery can do besides ajax.
