Android JSON HttpClient to send data to PHP server with HttpResponse

After lots of reading and searching I have found the problem to be with, I beleive magic_quotes_gpc being enabled on the server.

Thus, using:

json_decode(stripslashes($_POST['vehicle']));

In my example above removes the slashes and allows the JSON to be decoded properly.

Still not sure why sending a StringEntity causes a 403 error?

StringEntity s = new StringEntity(c.toString());s.setContentEncoding("UTF-8");s.setContentType("application/json");request.setEntity(s);

Try this code it works for me

public void postData(String result,JSONObject obj) {// Create a new HttpClient and Post HeaderHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();HttpParams myParams = new BasicHttpParams();HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(myParams, 10000);HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(myParams, 10000);String json=obj.toString();try {    HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(result.toString());    httppost.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");    StringEntity se = new StringEntity(obj.toString());     se.setContentEncoding(new BasicHeader(HTTP.CONTENT_TYPE, "application/json"));    httppost.setEntity(se);     HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);    String temp = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());    Log.i("tag", temp);} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {} catch (IOException e) {}

}
