This is about as simple as I can make it.
PHP: 
NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://google.com"];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
[request setHTTPMethod:@"GET"];
	
NSData *returnData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
NSString *results = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:returnData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

I wept when reading this...

rup28aug, as an exercise perhaps you can explain what GET and POST actually mean? I think you should do some research before posting your questions.

Well if you want to actually POST data and not just do a GET with a post method it's more complicated. Do a search, there are articles written on it, my code is to messy to post examples. :p

[request setHTTPBody:<whatever u want to send as post (NSData type)>];
[request setHTTPMethod: @"POST"];
