    <p>I have been searching through SO for the last few days and have found many Q/A regarding my problem but have not been about to solve it. I am trying to make an Android app that sends 4 (maybe 5) pieces of data to a php script on my webserver. I believe this code does that:</p> <pre><code> HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://www.mydomain.com/myscript.php"); try { // Add your data List&lt;NameValuePair&gt; nameValuePairs = new ArrayList&lt;NameValuePair&gt;(4); nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("name", "name")); nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("var1", "var1")); nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("var2", "var2")); nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("var3", "var3")); httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs)); // Execute HTTP Post Request HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost); } catch (ClientProtocolException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block } </code></pre> <p>My question is this: Hows does this data get sent? I thought it would be in this format <a href="http://www.mydomain.com/myscript.php?name=name&amp;var1=var1&amp;var2=var2&amp;var3=var3" rel="nofollow">http://www.mydomain.com/myscript.php?name=name&amp;var1=var1&amp;var2=var2&amp;var3=var3</a></p> <p>So I thought this myscript.php would work:</p> <pre><code> &lt;?php $name = $_GET['name']; $filename = "newfile.php"; $newfile = fopen($filename, 'w+'); fwrite($newfile, $name); fclose($newfile); ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>I have tried a lot of various ways, like $name = file_get_contents('php://input') to try and see what is being received but no luck.</p> <p>I am new to android and php so I presume I am missing something quite obvious, since all the other Q/A on SO seem to skip the 'how to retrieve and use the data being sent'. All I need the php script to do is grab the 4 variables and write a new file as above with them in it.</p> <p>I would also like to know how to get a response back to the app simply saying the data has been received. I presume that is handled by the variable 'response' but am not able to test that yet. </p> <p>Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
