There are two halves to posting. 1) The code that posts to a page and 2) the page that receives it.

For 1) Your C# looks ok. I personally would use:

string data = "wooooo! test!!";

using(WebClient client = new WebClient()) {
    client.UploadString(url, data);  
}

if ( $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST' )
{
    $postData = file_get_contents('php://input');
    print $postData;
}
