public void postData() {  
        // Create a new HttpClient and Post Header  
        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();  
        HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://localhost/howdy/welcome.php");  

        try {  

            List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);

            httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));  

            // Execute HTTP Post Request  
            HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);

You're sending this data as a POST request, so on the other side simply get it using the $_POST variable. This would be an example:

$name = $_POST['name'];
$id = $_POST['id'];

echo "Hi, my name is $name and my id is $id\n";
