Why this POST don't work?

Question

this is my snippet:

NSString *post = @"from=A&name=B&email=ciccio@aaasd.com&messaggio=MESSAGE&codHidden=-1";
NSData *postData = [post dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:NO];
NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [postData length]];    

NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.mysite.com/page.php"]];
[request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
[request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];
[request setValue:@"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
[request setHTTPBody:postData]; 

NSData *urlData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
NSLog(@"Succeeded! Received %d bytes of data",[urlData length]);
NSString *outputdata = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:urlData encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSLog(@"%@", outputdata);

It call a php page that send me an email...

Is there any errors in this code?
Does not seem to work...

thanks

We would need the contents of the PHP script as well. There could be a problem there. — Evan Mulawski, Feb 01 '11 at 22:00

Try to change NSASCIIStringEncoding to NSUTF8StringEncoding

Is it a Synchronous/Asynchronous problem? If so, use the delegate-pattern and access the data asynchronously. Could you post any errors you see (or the server's response string)?

EDIT: Since you're not doing anything useful with the error returned, change your class to do the request asynchronously. A great answer to this was previously posted here. Once you implement didFailWithError you'll have a better picture.

No error, no response (because the page return an empty string), and no mail! The code is correct? If yes, I have to order change/fix the php page... – elp Feb 01 '11 at 22:15
Well, firstly, you're not sending your NSError response to an object you can investigate after the method returns. So, change the above to `NSError *returnedError; NSData *urlData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:&returnedError];` – Alan Zeino Feb 01 '11 at 22:18
