I'm new to iOS development and currently creating a app for my major project in uni. I'm creating a registration page where the user is asked to fill in their details and also upload an image. So far I've got the values going to the database but I can't figure out how to also add the image that has been selected by the image picker. Could anyone help with this? The code is posted below....
RegistrationViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#define kpostURL @"http://myurl.com/myphp.php"
#define kfname @"fname"
#define ksname @"sname"
#define kemail @"email"
#define kusername @"username"
#define kpassword @"password"
#define kinstrument @"instrument"
#define klocation @"location"
@interface registrationViewController : UIViewController <UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate> {
UIScrollView *scrollView_;
BOOL keyboardVisible_;
IBOutlet UITextField *fnameText;
IBOutlet UITextField *snameText;
IBOutlet UITextField *emailText;
IBOutlet UITextField *usernameText;
IBOutlet UITextField *passwordText;
IBOutlet UITextField *instrumentText;
IBOutlet UITextField *locationText;
IBOutlet UIImageView *ImageView;
IBOutlet UIButton *button;
NSURLConnection *postConnection;
}
