I am trying to output POST-data that I send from an android phone, however I cannot manage to get any output in my PHP file. This is my php code:
<?php
echo "POSTed data: '".$_POST['mydata']."'<br>";
var_dump($_POST);
?>
this is my android code (which seems to work fine)
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("myurl.php");
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("mydata", "12345"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("stringData", "SomeData"));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
// Execute HTTP Post Request
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
String responseText = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
toSendET.setText(responseText);
Is it even possible to send POST data to an static PHP script via phone?
What you have got is working fine - but when you echo something in PHP its echo'd back to the caller - ie the browser in this case.
If you check the value of response in the code on Android is will be POSTed data: '12344'<br>
See the error_log() function in PHP for logging to a file
