JSON receiving data from android - php

Question

I am new to php. I am posting data to php server from android as--
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
try
{
jsonObject.put("name", "john");
String url = "http://10.0.2.2/WebService/submitname.php";
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
httpPost.setHeader("json", jsonObject.toString());
StringEntity se = null;
se = new StringEntity(jsonObject.toString());
se.setContentEncoding(new BasicHeader(
HTTP.CONTENT_TYPE, "application/json"));
httpPost.setEntity(se);
HttpResponse response = client.execute(httpPost);
int i = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
Log.v("status", "" + i);
} catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
And receiving the data in php as
<?php
mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
mysql_select_db("my db");
$var = json_decode($_POST['HTTP_JSON']);
$service = $var->{'name'};
mysql_query("INSERT INTO name_table(`_id`, `retrived_name`, `cat`, `is_valid_name`) VALUES (1547, '$service','$var',true);");
echo $var;
?>
Getting nothing on server side. However php query is executing correct as getting 200 response and a new row in database but with empty retrived_name and cat field.
How do I solve this? Thanks in advance!

You Should provide the values in Query:
<?php
mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
mysql_select_db("my db");
$var = json_decode($_POST['HTTP_JSON']);
$service = $var->{'name'};
$name = $_POST['name'];
mysql_query("INSERT INTO name_table(`_id`, `retrived_name`, `cat`, `is_valid_name`) VALUES (1547, '$service','$name',true);");
echo $var;
?>
