    Default passing variables from java applet to php

    I write a simple post from java to my php backend.
    After I run the script I am getting the output that I am passing in filename, filesize etc..


    int filesize=25;
             String filetype=".txt";
             String hash="sdfjksdfhljahe8wr897348957jsdfajlsdhfl48";
             String email="sangwan.ritesh@yahoo.in";
             String filename="songs.txt";
    String urlParameters = "filename="+filename+"&filesize="+filesize+"&filetype="+filetype+"&filehash="+hash+"&email="+email;    
    URL url = new URL("myurl");
    HttpURLConnection hp=(HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
    hp.setDoInput(true);
    hp.setDoOutput(true);
    hp.setInstanceFollowRedirects(false);
    hp.setRequestMethod("POST");
    hp.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); 
    hp.setRequestProperty("charset", "utf-8");
    hp.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", "" + Integer.toString(urlParameters.getBytes().length));
    hp.setUseCaches (false);
    DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream(hp.getOutputStream ());
    wr.writeBytes(urlParameters);
    wr.flush();
    String line;
    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(hp.getInputStream()));
    line = reader.readLine();
     System.out.println(line);
    wr.close();
    reader.close();
    hp.disconnect();

    The problem is I want to insert these values into my mysql database running on server so I write the following php code.
     
    <?php
    include('dbc.php');
    $filename=$_POST['filename'];
    $filesize=$_POST['filesize'];
    $filetype=$_POST['filetype'];
    echo $POST['email'];
    $filehash=$_POST['filehash'];
    $email=$_POST['email'];
    $query = "INSERT INTO files ( `email`, `file_name`, `file_ext`, `file_size`, 'file_hash') VALUES ( '$email', '$filename', '$filetype', '12584', 'filehash')";
    $result=mysqli_query($dbc,$query);
    if(mysqli_affected_rows($dbc) == 1)
    {
      // DO Nothing
    }
     echo $_POST['filehash'];
    echo $_POST['email'];
    echo $_POST['filename'];
    echo $_POST['filesize'];
    echo $_POST['filetype'];
    ?>

    The data is being is posted and I am getting the same back in my java application but data is not being entered in mysql database. I have a table name files with the same columns described above.

    Any reason you are trying to invoke a php script as opposed to using JDBC to use java to do database manipulations? You should check for errors using mysql_error function, and also note that you should use Mysqli, as the mysql_* functions are being deprecated.

    I was not able to connect to mysql database using jdbc driver. I guess my web hosting provider doesn't allow me to connect remotely to my mysql database.
