PHP receive http post request as $_POST

I am trying to receive some image data in php using $_POST if I am trying to post small string like "abc" I am getting the response but when I try to post huge data like 108 KB it's not showing the response might be I need to increase some limit but I don't have access in php.ini file.

is there any other way?

And I am posting the data from android so is there any string shorten encoding in android and decoding in php available. I already used base64 to get the image data.

My php code to echo the return.

<?php
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');
header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods: PUT, GET, POST, DELETE, OPTIONS');
header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type');


if(isset($_POST['incidentDetails']))
{
    echo 'Responce from server:  ' . $_POST['incidentDetails'];
}
else
{
    echo 'Request without paramenter';  
}
?>

The url - http://bumba27.byethost16.com/incidentManagments/api/adding_incident_details.php

I need to post as parameter name incidentDetails- http://www.filedropper.com/log_2

enter image description here

Android Code

// Create a new HttpClient and Post Header
        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://bumba27.byethost16.com/incidentManagments/api/adding_incident_details.php");

        try 
        {
            List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(1);
            nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("incidentDetails", headerData));
            httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));

            HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);

            responseCode = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
            responseBody = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
        } 
        catch (Throwable t ) 
        {
            Log.d("Error Time of Login",t+"");
        }

Are you making sure you have enctype="multipart/form-data" in your form tag on the HTML form sending the image data?

<form name="someform" id="someform" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="somefile.php">

EDIT: According to the PHP.NET website, you have to do a process to save files - not just print out the $_POST array:

$name= $_FILES["myfile"]["name"];
$type= $_FILES["myfile"]["type"];
$size= $_FILES["myfile"]["size"];
$temp= $_FILES["myfile"]["temp_name"];
$error= $_FILES["myfile"]["error"];

if ($error > 0)
    die("Error uploading file! code $error.");
else
   {
    if($type=="image/png" || $size > 2000000)//condition for the file
    {
    die("Format  not allowed or file size too big!");
    }
    else
    {
     move_uploaded_file($temp, "uploaded/" .$name);
     echo "Upload complete!"; 
     }
}
