I'm working on a ionic chat app where the user can upload a photo as part of their message. I'm looking for a way to upload the image to my webhost server so I can retrieve it later via a URL.
The problem is that I'm not able to get it to upload to my web server.
I'm using these two plugins:
When I run the app in xcode simulator and select a picture from the device photolibrary, the console gives me the following messages:
File Transfer Finished with response code 200
void SendDelegateMessage(NSInvocation *): delegate (webView:runJavaScriptAlertPanelWithMessage:initiatedByFrame:) failed to return after waiting 10 seconds. main run loop mode: kCFRunLoopDefaultMode>
SUCCESS: ""
This is the code I currently use:
app.controller('HomeController', function($rootScope, $scope, $cordovaCamera, $ionicActionSheet, $cordovaFileTransfer){ ...
// open PhotoLibrary
$scope.openPhotoLibrary = function() {
var options = {
quality: 100,
destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
sourceType: Camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY,
allowEdit: true,
encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
popoverOptions: CameraPopoverOptions,
saveToPhotoAlbum: false
};
$cordovaCamera.getPicture(options).then(function(imageData) {
//console.log(imageData);
//console.log(options);
var url = "http://mydomein.com/upload.php";
//target path may be local or url
var targetPath = imageData;
var filename = targetPath.split("/").pop();
var options = {
fileKey: "file",
fileName: filename,
chunkedMode: false,
mimeType: "image/jpg"
};
$cordovaFileTransfer.upload(url, targetPath, options).then(function(result) {
console.log("SUCCESS: " + JSON.stringify(result.response));
alert("success");
alert(JSON.stringify(result.response));
}, function(err) {
console.log("ERROR: " + JSON.stringify(err));
alert(JSON.stringify(err));
}, function (progress) {
// constant progress updates
$timeout(function () {
$scope.downloadProgress = (progress.loaded / progress.total) * 100;
})
});
}, function(err) {
// error
console.log(err);
});
}
This is my upload.php file:
<?php
// move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $cwd . '/files/images/');
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "/files/images");
?>
Save the file, and if it's not running already, restart the development server in your browser by running ionic serve . On the Photo Gallery tab, click the Camera button. If your computer has a webcam of any sort, a modal window appears. Take a selfie!
add the image to app directory scr/assets/img/Test. jpg.
After some digging around and lot's of trying I finally got it working.
This is the code I came up with:
// open PhotoLibrary
$scope.openPhotoLibrary = function() {
var options = {
quality: 50,
destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
sourceType: Camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY,
allowEdit: true,
encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
popoverOptions: CameraPopoverOptions,
saveToPhotoAlbum: false
};
$cordovaCamera.getPicture(options).then(function(imageData) {
//console.log(imageData);
//console.log(options);
var image = document.getElementById('tempImage');
image.src = imageData;
var server = "http://yourdomain.com/upload.php",
filePath = imageData;
var date = new Date();
var options = {
fileKey: "file",
fileName: imageData.substr(imageData.lastIndexOf('/') + 1),
chunkedMode: false,
mimeType: "image/jpg"
};
$cordovaFileTransfer.upload(server, filePath, options).then(function(result) {
console.log("SUCCESS: " + JSON.stringify(result.response));
console.log('Result_' + result.response[0] + '_ending');
alert("success");
alert(JSON.stringify(result.response));
}, function(err) {
console.log("ERROR: " + JSON.stringify(err));
//alert(JSON.stringify(err));
}, function (progress) {
// constant progress updates
});
}, function(err) {
// error
console.log(err);
});
}
And the code in upload.php on the domain server:
<?php
// if you want to find the root path of a folder use the line of code below:
//echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0){
echo "Error Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
}
else
{
echo "Uploaded file: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " kilobytes<br />";
if (file_exists("/files/".$_FILES["file"]["name"]))
{
echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. No joke-- this error is almost <i><b>impossible</b></i> to get. Try again, I bet 1 million dollars it won't ever happen again.";
}
else
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],"/var/www/vhosts/yourdomain.com/subdomains/domainname/httpdocs/foldername/images/".$_FILES["file"]["name"]);
echo "Done";
}
}
?>
