Use This Codes To Send String From C# With Post Method

       try
       {
            string url = "";
            string str = "test";
            HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
            req.Method = "POST";
            string Data = "message="+str;
            byte[] postBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Data);
            req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
            req.ContentLength = postBytes.Length;
            Stream requestStream = req.GetRequestStream();
            requestStream.Write(postBytes, 0, postBytes.Length);
            requestStream.Close();

            HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();
            Stream resStream = response.GetResponseStream();

            var sr = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
            string responseText = sr.ReadToEnd();


        }
        catch (WebException)
        {

            MessageBox.Show("Please Check Your Internet Connection");
        }

and php page

 <?php 
    if (isset($_POST['message']))
    {
        $msg = $_POST['message'];

        echo $msg;

    }

   ?>

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 url = "http://wwww.blah.com/page.php";
string data = "wooooo! test!!";

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

For 2) In your PHP page:

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