Uploading an image from iOS to PHP

Question

I've been working on uploading an UIImage to an webserver. The problem is, that the image never appears on the Server. A normal POST from an HTML file works. I think it's an issue in my objective-c code.

Here is my objective-c code:

NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(delegate.dataBean.image); NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@test.php", delegate.dataBean.hosterURL];  NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init]; [request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]]; [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];  NSString *boundary = [NSString stringWithString:@"---------------------------14737809831466499882746641449"]; NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"multipart/form-data; boundary=%@",boundary]; [request addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: @"Content-Type"];  NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data]; [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"rn--%@rn",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"uploadedfile\"; filename=\"test.png\"rn"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:@"Content-Type: application/octet-streamrnrn"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; [body appendData:[NSData dataWithData:imageData]]; [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"rn--%@--rn",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; [request setHTTPBody:body];  NSData *returnData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil]; NSString *returnString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:returnData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];  NSLog([NSString stringWithFormat:@"Image Return String: %@", returnString]); 

Here is my PHP code:

<?php $uploaddir = 'uploads/'; $file = basename($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']); $uploadfile = $uploaddir . $file;  echo "file=".$file; //is empty, but shouldn't  if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {     echo $file; } else {     echo "error"; } ?>

Now i've solved it by myself =)

I forgot the backslashes in the body.

Here is the right body:

NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data]; [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"uploadedfile\"; filename=\"test.png\"\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:@"Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; [body appendData:[NSData dataWithData:imageData]]; [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@--\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; [request setHTTPBody:body];
