I've already searched a lot and have not found a specific solution for my problem.
First of all, I'm communicating with my Android app between a php web service using json. My objective is to discover why the variable $uploaded_file is returning blank but the file is uploaded normally to the server, with the correct name and extension. If the file appears at the server, how could the $_FILES array be blank?
When I upload the file through the html form upfile.html, the $_FILES array is not empty. So, I guess my problem is with some property that the java sends to the php, which one could it be? Please, take a look at the java method fileUpload below.
upfile.html
<html>
<body>
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="file"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
upload.php
$uploaded_file = $_FILES["file"]["name"];
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
{
$response["success_image"] = 0;
$response["message_update_image"] = "Error while trying to update image";
die(json_encode($response));
}
else
{
//echo "Name: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br>";
if (file_exists("upload/" . $uploaded_file))
{
$response["success_image"] = 0;
$response["message_update_image"] = "Image already exists";
die(json_encode($response));
}
else
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"upload/" . $uploaded_file);
$query = "UPDATE user SET image = :image WHERE id = :user";
$query_params = array(
':user' => $_POST['user'],
':image' => $uploaded_file
);
try {
$stmt = $db->prepare($query);
$result = $stmt->execute($query_params);
}
catch (PDOException $ex) {
$response["success_image"] = 0;
$response["message_update_image"] = "Unable to upload image";
die(json_encode($response));
}
$response["success_image"] = 1;
//$response["message_update_image"] = "Image uploaded";
$response["message_update_image"] = $uploaded_image;
echo json_encode($response);
}
}
?>
