I am trying to upload files to an amazon EC2 from android. however whenever i go to upload the files I get a Unexpected response code 500 error. From what I uderstand this is because the user doesnt have the correct permissions to upload files to the database? I know that the problem is with the amazon EC2 instance rather than the code. but below is my php code for uploading to the server. first of all is that the correct way to enter the upload folder (/var/www/html/uploads) ? Any help on how i can get this working would be great.
<?php
if(isset($_POST['image'])){
echo "in";
$image = $_POST['image'];
upload($_POST['image']);
exit;
}
else{
echo "image_not_in";
exit;
}
function upload($image){
$now = DateTime::createFromFormat('U.u', microtime(true));
$id = "pleeease";
$upload_folder = "/var/www/html/upload";
$path = "$upload_folder/$id.jpg";
if(file_put_contents($path, base64_decode($image)) != false){
echo "uploaded_success"
}
else{
echo "uploaded_failed";
}
}
?>
