oops.. just read your previous post "Then how can I "grab" it and receive into my Android activity?"
The line in the code I posted: client.execute(post); actually also returns a response: HttpResponse res = client.execute(post); So if your PHP script is printing out data to the http response on the server, this object will have that data. You'll have to read the javadoc for this HttpResponse object as I'm not sure where (i.e what structure) your data will be. Usually if it's just a small amount of data I just throw it into an HTTP Response header on the server side. That way the response is light and easier to parse out because you can just call getHeaders on the HttpResponse object.
