ESP8622 + arduino, POST using at commands

hi to everybody

i'm trying to update a .txt file with data acquired by an arduino.
i have connected an esp8622 to an arduino mega (on serial1) and throught at commands im trying to POST data on a php page which will update the .txt file with the recieved data.

ARDUINO CODE:

String ssid = "ssid";
String password = "ssid_pwd";
String server = "server_ip_address";
String uri = "/test.php";


byte dat[5];

String temp;

void setup() {
	Serial1.begin(115200);
	Serial.begin(115200);
	reset();
	connectWifi();
}

//reset the Serial18266 module

void reset() {
	Serial1.println("AT+RST");
	delay(1000);
	if (Serial1.find("OK")) Serial.println("Module Reset");
}

//connect to your wifi network

void connectWifi() {

	String cmd = "AT+CWJAP=\"" + ssid + "\",\"" + password + "\"";
	Serial.println(cmd);
	Serial1.println(cmd);

	delay(100);

	if (Serial1.find("OK")) {
		Serial.println("Connected!");
	}else {
		Serial.println("Cannot connect to wifi ...");
		Serial.println("re-trying ...");
		connectWifi();
	}
	Serial.flush();
	while (Serial1.available()) {
		Serial1.read();
	}
}


void loop() {
	// data sent must be under this form //name1=value1&name2=value2.
	String	data = "temperature=23";// + String(analogRead(A0));
	httppost(data);

	delay(10000);
}

void httppost(String data) {
	Serial1.println("AT+CIPSTART=\"TCP\",\"" + server + "\",80");//start a TCP connection.
	if (Serial1.find("OK")) {
		Serial.println("TCP connection ready");
	}
	Serial.flush();
	while (Serial1.available()) {
		Serial1.read();
	}

	delay(100);

	String postRequest =
		"POST " + uri + " HTTP/1.0\r\n" +
		"Host: " + server + "\r\n" +
		"Content - Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n" +
		"Content - Length: " + data.length() + "\r\n" + "\r\n"+
		data + "\r\n";

	Serial.println(postRequest);
	String sendCmd = "AT+CIPSEND=" + String(postRequest.length());//determine the number of caracters to be sent.
	Serial1.println(sendCmd);

	delay(100);

	if (Serial1.find(">")) {
		Serial.println("Sending..");
		Serial1.println(postRequest);
		if (Serial1.find("SEND OK")) {
			Serial.println("Packet sent");
			while (Serial1.available()) {
				Serial.println(Serial1.readString());
			}
		}
	}
	// close the connection
	Serial1.println("AT+CIPCLOSE");
	Serial.flush();
	while (Serial1.available()) {
		Serial1.read();
	}
}

PHP PAGE CODE:

<?php
$temperature = filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'temperature');
$myfile = fopen("newfile.txt", "a") or die("Unable to open file!");
fwrite($myfile, $temperature);
fwrite($myfile, " C\n");
fclose($myfile);
?>

when i type on the browser htttp://server_ip_address/test.php?temperatura=23
i can see that the "newfile.txt" has been updated properly.
this bring me to think that the php code works fine. Am i correct?

the problem is that when i upload and run i get the following response over seral:

AT+CWJAP="ssid","ssid_pwd"
Connected!
TCP connection ready
POST /test.php HTTP/1.1
Host: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Content - Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content - Length: 14

temperature=34

Sending..
Packet sent

and the .txt does not update.

what is that i'm missing?
wrong AT code?
mistakes in the http post?
is it correct to type html1.0?
should i follow another path?
is there anythig i sholud set on the apache server?
