I’m buying a gps tracker which is able to sent its GPS data (NMEA) to a designated ip/hostname and port.

Since i do not own a server, I was wondering what would happen if I configured the device to send its data to 1.1.1.1:80 where the default php-webservice is running.

So far so good. But how can I then use the sended data? When i post a form it is in $_POST. But in what variable can I find the sent NMEA data?

    Your GPS device is not an HTTP client. It does not “speak the language” of the service that usually runs on port 80 (that is, a web server).

    Instead, install a daemon like gpsd.

    And I have no idea what you mean by 1.1.1.1. I bet you don’t own a machine with that address.
