Submit data to Mysql without a form through php -

i have c# program needs pass specific values our remote server nightly.

i have database "counter" few tables: clientid, clientname, boxesmoved, , reportdate.

i need pass values through simple post command without use of form, things aren't working properly. here's starting with.

i trying pass values this: ( test.php?clientid=01?clientname=theclient?boxesmoved=185443?reportdate=07-17-2015) more experienced developers know, didn't work. possible, , can find information aid me in process.

<?php $host="localhost"; // host name  $username="root";   // mysql username  $password="password"; // mysql password  $db_name="counter"; // database name  $tbl_name="boxcounter"; // table name   // connect server , select database. mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");  mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select db");  // values form  $clientid=$_post['clientid']; $clientname=$_post['clientname']; $boxesmoved=$_post['boxesmoved']; $reportdate=$_post['reportdate'];  // insert data mysql  $sql="insert $tbl_name(reportdate, clientid, boxesmoved, clientname)values('$clientid', '$clientname', '$boxesmoved', '$reportdate', )"; $result=mysql_query($sql);  // if insert data database, displays message "successful".  if($result){ echo "successful"; }  else { echo "error"; } ?>   <?php  // close connection  mysql_close(); ?> 

you looking variables in $_post should looking @ $_get if passing them through url that.

also, mysql_ functions deprecated, , way using them opens sql injection.
