Post request not working

i've got an android app and a really simple web service that make an insert in a DB with 3 values.

the titanium code is most like the example given on the docs 

var xhr = Ti.Network.createHTTPClient();
xhr.onload = function(e) {};

xhr.open('POST','http://www.micheleantonaci.altervista.org/test/foobar.php');
xhr.send({
"latitude":00100,
"longitude":10000,
"type":'From Nexus'
});

and the web service is just

<?php       
   $con=mysql_connect('http://www.micheleantonaci.altervista.org/','***','***');
   mysql_select_db('***',$con);
   if(isset($_REQUEST['submit']))
{  
    $latitude=$_POST['latitude'];
    $longitude=$_POST['longitude'];
    $kind=$_POST['type'];

    $sql="insert into foobar (latitude,longitude,type) values ('$latitude','$longitude','$kind')";
    $res=mysql_query($sql) or die (mysql_error());
}
?>

now, when i try the webservice giving the values with the browser it works good, but with the app I get no results at all, any suggestions? tha app doesn't crash or log any error

The code is right, the problem was on the framework itself, at that day the post method wasn't working. Nowadays it has been fixed.

When I see a problem like this, I setup 'Charles' or a similar proxy and have the device send it's request through the proxy. Then you can see if the device is send what is expected.

You could also try

xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');

You must use PHP function json_decode to get values.

Try adding the header like this:

xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");

You should also do a var_dump($_POST) in your PHP to see what's in it, not sure you'll get your stuff in separated variables...
