$mysql_query("insert into user_detail(name,age,email) values('{$name}','{$age}','{$email}')");

?>

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

    EditText eName,eAge,eEmail;
    Button inButton;
    InputStream is=null;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        StrictMode.ThreadPolicy tp = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
        StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(tp);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        eName= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etname);

                    HttpResponse response=httpClient.execute(httpPost);

                    HttpEntity entity=response.getEntity();

                    is=entity.getContent();

                } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
                    Log.e("ClientProtocol","LogTag");

$dbtype     = "mysql";
$dbhost     = "localhost";
$dbname     = "hellodb";
$dbuser     = "root";
$dbpass     = "";

$name  = $_POST['name'];
$age   = $_POST['age'];
$email = $_POST['email'];

// database connection
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$dbhost;dbname=$dbname",$dbuser,$dbpass);

$sql = "INSERT INTO user_detail(name,age,email) VALUES (:name,:age,:email)";

$q = $conn->prepare($sql);

$q->execute(array(':name'=>$name,
                  ':age'=>$age,
                  ':email'=>$email));
