Currently i have a c sharp application (Client app). and a web application written php. I want to transfer some files whenever a particular action is performed at client side. Here is the client code to upload the file to php server..
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
System.Net.WebClient Client = new System.Net.WebClient();
Client.Headers.Add("Content-Type", "binary/octet-stream");
byte[] result = Client.UploadFile("http://localhost/project1/upload.php", "POST",
@"C:\test\a.jpg");
string s = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(result, 0, result.Length);
}
Here is the upload.php file to move the file..
$uploads_dir = './files/'; //Directory to save the file that comes from client application.
foreach ($_FILES["pictures"]["error"] as $key => $error) {
if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
$tmp_name = $_FILES["pictures"]["tmp_name"][$key];
$name = $_FILES["pictures"]["name"][$key];
move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "$uploads_dir/$name");
}
I'm not getting any errors from above code. but it does not seem to be working. Why is it? Am i missing something?
Your current PHP code is for handling multiple file uploads, but your C# code is only uploading one file.
You need to modify your PHP code somewhat, removing the foreach
loop:
<?php
$uploads_dir = './files'; //Directory to save the file that comes from client application.
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
$tmp_name = $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];
$name = $_FILES["file"]["name"];
move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "$uploads_dir/$name");
}
?>
You also need to ensure that the ./files
directory exists.
I have tested the above PHP code with your C# code and it worked perfectly.
For more information on handling file uploads, refer to the PHP documentation.
For more information on uploading multiple files with C# and PHP, here are some helpful links:
Upload files with HTTPWebrequest (multipart/form-data)
Use Arrays in HTML Form Variables
PHP: Uploading multiple files
If you want something simple for uploading multiple files, you just just upload one file at a time to upload.php
in a C# loop.
Your php code seems right, however you try to access the file using the "picture" key of the $_FILES global. It does not seems to be specified in your csharp code. I don't know how to do it thought. You could try to see how it was named in your php by doing a print_r or vardump of you $_FILE global or using the array_keys function

Edit: I found this link that could help you to add a "name" to your uploaded file:
