PHP POST from iOS app

I need to access POST for PHP from my iOS application. I can't seem to get it to work though.

Here is a very short snippet of the PHP: 

$post_data = $_POST["function"];

if ($function == 'post_data') {
    //do stuff, not important
else if($function == 'send_stuffz') {
    //do stuff, not important
}

How do I access this portion of the code?

I thought it could just be through a URL such as:

fakewebsitename.com/file.php?function=post_data
fakewebsitename.com/file.php?function=send_stuffz

But that doesn't work.

In the iOS app, I have this thus far:

NSMutableURLRequest *urlReq = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:baseURL]]; <-baseURL = fakewebsitename.com/file.php in this "instance"
[urlReq setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];

Not sure how to proceed...

this function is incorrect

$post_data = $_POST["function"];

if ($function == 'post_data') {
    //do stuff, not important
else if($function == 'send_stuffz') {
    //do stuff, not important
}

you are not defining variable $function please change as follow

please change to

$post_data = $_POST["function"];

if ($post_data == 'post_data') {
    //do stuff, not important
else if($post_data == 'send_stuffz') {
    //do stuff, not important
}
