Without knowing the server type and what you're doing with it it's pretty much impossible to answer this.

Php or asp server and a small app.

You're going to have to be more specific than that.

PHP is a programming language, not a server. It's commonly used to write various types of servers, like your normal HTTP web server and WebAPI servers.

What is your "server" going to be doing? Serving up HTML content, WebAPI, ... what?

I'm a beginner, and I want learn to connect a standard application to server to send and receive data normally as a test! What can I do?
Thanks

Again, you're using terms that can mean a variety of things. That's terrible for writing code. You have to be far more specific.

Write a WebAPI server and deploy it to a server. Google for "How to write a WebAPI <language>", replacing <language> with the language you want to do write it in.

After that, Google for "Write Android WebAPI client application".

This is where YOU have to do a bunch of research and teach yourself. You're not going to get this massive amount of information handed to you in a forum environment. There's just too much to fit in a few forum posts.
