Saving information from ios app to web server (POST JSON)

Question

The problem i am having is that i am unable to so save information from my ios application to my web server, I am currently app to retrieve the data using JSON and parsing that data.

I have written the php code for the request and it is stored on my server:

...else
{
    // updating record
    $q = sprintf("update phone_book set name = '%s', phoneNumber = '%s', email = '%s', phoneNumber = '%s' where name = '%s'",
        mysql_real_escape_string($_GET["name"]),
        mysql_real_escape_string($_GET["phoneNumber"]),
        mysql_real_escape_string($_GET["email"]),
        mysql_real_escape_string($_GET["address"]));
}

However I have looked everywhere and am unable to find information on how i could use post this information from my application to the web server.

Would appreciate any help. Thanks!

This actually wasent to hard. Another option instead of using REST was to POST JSON from the iOS application sending the JSON to a site where a php file contains the code. The fixed code inside the PHP would look like:

    ...
$json_post = json_decode(file_get_contents ('php://input'),1);
$name = $json_post['name'];
$phone = $json_post['phone'];

$aQuery = "UPDATE phone_book SET phoneNumber = '$phone' WHERE name = '$name' ";

mysql_query($aQuery);

...

If anyone requires anymore help feel free to leave a comment. Good Luck!
