php script to echo a post

Question

Could someone help with a simple PHP script to echo the whole message received with an HTTPPOST.

I am sending a string from an android app using HTTPPOST and would like to receive as a response the message received by the POST at the server.

The script that I am using will only echo name value pairs

echo $_POST('data')

works when I post form data, but have not figured out how to echo a string.

Thanks

This is a lot like: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3718307/php-script-to-log-the-raw-data-of-post/3718333#3718333 except echo instead of output (if you search the site there are also lots of other questions along this line) — Rudu, Sep 17 '10 at 16:36
Could just be a typo while entering here, but your sample is trying to use a variable function call. proper syntax is `$_POST['data']` (note the square brackets). — Marc B, Sep 17 '10 at 16:54

Raw:

echo file_get_contents('php://input');

Possibly more easily parseble:

echo json_encode($_POST);
echo serialize($_POST);

For debugging purposes:

var_dump($_POST);
