php java android POST method issue

Question

I have android application that check if in DB exists already the phone number. but always it return "+" even there doesn't exists the phone number, this is my code:

  URL url = new URL(URL_CHECK);
                HttpURLConnection httpURLConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
                httpURLConnection.setRequestMethod("POST");
                httpURLConnection.setDoInput(true);
                httpURLConnection.setDoOutput(true);
                OutputStream OS = httpURLConnection.getOutputStream();
                BufferedWriter bufferedWriter = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(OS, "UTF-8"));
                String data = URLEncoder.encode("cphone", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode(params[0], "UTF-8");
                bufferedWriter.write(data);
                bufferedWriter.flush();
                bufferedWriter.close();
                OS.close();
                InputStream IS = httpURLConnection.getInputStream();
                BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(IS, "UTF-8"));
                String response = "";
                String line ="";
                while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
                    response += line;

                }
                bufferedReader.close();
                IS.close();
                info = response;
                return info;

The variable "info" always equals "+". This is my PHP Script:

    <?php
$servername = "xxx";
$username = "xxx";
$password = "xxx";
$dbname = "registers";
$con = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
 $user_name = $_POST["cphone"];  
 $sql_query = "select id from users where phone like '$user_name';";  
 $result = mysqli_query($con,$sql_query);  
 if(mysqli_num_rows($result) >0 )  
 {  
 $row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);  
 $name =$row["id"];   
 echo "$name";
 }  
 else  
 {   
 echo "+";  
 }  
 ?>

The php script work when instead of $_POST["cphone"] I write example "+37455001100".

always it return + even in base doesn't exists, but the code works without android application — arm_1234, Jun 28 '16 at 08:46

The way you POST the value might be wrong. You can refer an answer at https://stackoverflow.com/a/2938787/2435238 on correctly sending parameters.
