connecting PHP webservices with Android

Question

I am developing the android application. which is going to update the content from android to the web(php webservice). Can anyone give me the sample code for my reference.

You want to do what? Post data from android to the webservice or update data from the webservice to display in android? — Residuum, Feb 05 '10 at 09:08

There are lots of questions already on StackOverflow regarding calling webservices from Android. Try looking at those.

For example:

How to call a SOAP web service on Android

How can i call a web service without using KSOAP2 in Android?

FYI, there should be no difference between a PHP webservice and a webservice written in any other language from the client's (Android's) point of view.

@Jcaruso PHP is a programming language, SOAP is a communication protocol. You can create SOAP web services in PHP. – Mark B Jun 20 '13 at 15:00

the simpliest way is to use Sockets. :) if there are rest service you can use internal apache library - DefaultClient...

This guide was useful to me in using Android as a REST client. It shows how to use the Android libraries, without external dependencies, to perform basic GET/POST, etc.

Definitely search around if you need more information. There's plenty of resources on the issue.
