}
created it in android and send it by **HttpPost**
, i've tried a lot of ways to get the data in the php, my php file is this:
<?php
$response = array();
//$json_data = json_encode(stripslashes($_POST['jsonarray']))
$josn = file_get_contents("php://input");
$json_data = json_decode($josn,true);
$count = $json_data->{'count'};
$num = $json_data["num"];
$response["data"]=$count;
$response["data2"]=$num;
// echoing JSON response
echo json_encode($response);
?>
but $count and $num always returns null, any help please, and thanks.

$json_data = json_decode($josn,true);
this returns an array, not an object (which you are using later in the code). Use this to convert the json string to an object:
$json_data = json_decode($josn);
Or you could just use arrays, in which case your code should look like:
<?php
$response = array();
//$json_data = json_encode(stripslashes($_POST['jsonarray']))
$josn = file_get_contents("php://input");
$json_data = json_decode($josn, true); // using true to get array
$count = $json_data["count"]; // accessing array values as normal
$num = $json_data["num"]; // accessing array values as normal
$response["data"] = $count; // instead of setting $count first you could just add
$response["data2"] = $num; // the json_data array values directly to the response array
// echoing JSON response
echo json_encode($response);
