receiving android POST data with php

I have searched for some answers but I cannot find anything. So how do you use PHP to receive and save the data sent to it using POST from an android app. I am currently using the following code so what PHP would I use to store the data. Any link on tutorials for this would also be helpful.

public void send(View v)
 {
    // get the message from the message text box
    String msg = msgTextField.getText().toString();  

    // make sure the fields are not empty
    if (msg.length()>0)
    {
        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://kiwigaming.beastnode.net/upload.php");
     try {
       List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);
       nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Date", "Unitnumber"));
       nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Doneornot", msg));
       httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
       httpclient.execute(httppost);
       msgTextField.setText(""); // clear text box
     } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
         // TODO Auto-generated catch block
     } catch (IOException e) {
         // TODO Auto-generated catch block
     }

    }
    else
    {
        // display message if text fields are empty
        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),"All field are required",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

}

You need to get the response first by replacing:

httpclient.execute(httppost);

with:

HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);

Then from that you can go

Head[] head = response.getHeaders();
for(int i = 0, i < head.length; i++){
    //find header?
}

or get the content?

String content = response.getEntity.getContent();

The superglobal $_POST contains the post data.

<?php
     print_r($_POST);
?>
