HTTP post call from android to PHP?

I am new working with Android Studio. Here in the below code i am trying to send data from java to the backend server (in PHP). The call is being made but NULL is returned from the server side which shouldn't happen. So I think input sent from the java side is not interpreted properly at the PHP side i guess. Could you tell what is wrong with the code (and PHP code is perfectly all right and it should not return NULL).

          HttpURLConnection httpURLConnection = null;
          JSONObject  Student_det = stu_det.getJSONObject(i);
          String stu_GUID = Student_det.getString("StuGUID");
          String visit_GUID = Student_det.getString("VisitGUID");

            String value = "Rec="+(tableRow+1)+"&SchGUID="+schoolGUID.trim()+"&StuGUID="+stu_GUID.trim()+"&VisitGUID="+visit_GUID.trim()+"&role="+role;
            URL url = new URL("http://52.66.25.82/api/download_student.php");
            String enc_val = URLEncoder.encode(value,"UTF-8");

            httpURLConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            httpURLConnection.setDoOutput(true);
            httpURLConnection.setDoInput(true);

            httpURLConnection.setRequestMethod("POST");



            OutputStreamWriter wr = new OutputStreamWriter(httpURLConnection.getOutputStream());
            wr.write( enc_val );
            wr.flush();

            InputStream responseStream = new BufferedInputStream(httpURLConnection.getInputStream());

            BufferedReader responseStreamReader =
                    new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(responseStream));


            // Read Server Response
         String output = responseStreamReader.readLine();

HTTP post call from android to PHP. Start with best possible way.

public class LoginAsy extends AsyncTask <String, Void, String > {
        Context myContext;
        String result;

        public LoginAsy(Context c) {
            myContext = c;
        }

        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(String... params) {

            String myurldata = "name=" + params[0] + "&email=" + params[1] + "&mobile=" + params[2] + "&username=" + params[3] + "&password=" + params[4];

            try {
                URL url = new URL("http://192.168.2.3/Android/jnuproject.php");
                HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
                connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
                connection.getOutputStream().write(myurldata.getBytes());

                int responce = connection.getResponseCode();

                Log.d("Responce code ", "" + responce);

                if (responce == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
                    String line;
                    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
                    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));

                    while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                    builder.append(line);
}
                    result = builder.toString();
                }

            } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            if (result.equals("success")) {
                login = true;
            } else {
                login = false;
            }
            return null;
        }
    }
