The best way in my opinion is to use JSON (see http://code.google.com/p/json-framework/).

You can make requests to your server using this code

NSError *error;
NSString *post =[NSString stringWithFormat:@"any-data=%@",
                 myData];

NSData *postData = [post dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];

NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [postData length]];

NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://your-server.com/your-script.php"]];
[request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
[request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];
[request setValue:@"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
[request setHTTPBody:postData];

NSURLResponse *response;
NSData *urlData=[NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&error];
NSString *data=[[NSString alloc]initWithData:urlData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(@"Data: %@",data);

NSDictionary* parsedData = [data JSONValue];

You then can access the data using

[parsedData valueForKeyPath:@"myVar"]

Hope this hepls,
