I have made a script in php to upload pdf file on server from iOS application but I don't understand why it says undefined index pdfFile please let me know if you catch my mistake
Here is my iOS code
Alamofire.upload(
multipartFormData: { multipartFormData in
// multipartFormData.append(pdfUrl!, withName: "pdfFile")
let pdfData = NSData(contentsOf: pdfUrl!)
print((pdfData as? Data)!)
multipartFormData.append((pdfData as? Data)!, withName: "pdfFile", mimeType: "application/pdf")
},
to: "http://www.webservice.pixsterstudio.com/uploadpdf.php",
encodingCompletion: { encodingResult in
switch encodingResult {
case .success(let upload, , ):
upload.responseJSON { response in
debugPrint(response)
print(response.result)
}
case .failure(let encodingError):
print(encodingError)
}
}
)
Here is my PHP web service script:- uploadpdf.php
<?php
if ($_FILES['pdfFile']['type'] == "application/pdf") {
$source_file = $_FILES['pdfFile']['tmp_name'];
$dest_file = "webservice.pixsterstudio.com/upload/".$_FILES['pdfFile']['name'];
if (file_exists($dest_file)) {
print "The file name already exists!!";
}
else {
move_uploaded_file( $source_file, $dest_file )
or die ("Error!!");
if($_FILES['pdfFile']['error'] == 0) {
$Return['status'] = 'true';
$Return['message'] = "Pdf file uploaded successfully!";
//print "Pdf file uploaded successfully!";
//print "<b><u>Details : </u></b><br/>";
//print "File Name : ".$_FILES['pdfFile']['name']."<br.>"."<br/>";
// print "File Size : ".$_FILES['pdfFile']['size']." bytes"."<br/>";
// print "File location : upload/".$_FILES['pdfFile']['name']."<br/>";
}
}
}
else {
if ( $_FILES['pdfFile']['type'] != "application/pdf") {
$Return['status'] = 'false';
$Return['message'] = "Pdf file not uploaded !";
//print "Error occured while uploading file : ".$_FILES['pdfFile']['name']."<br/>";
//print "Invalid file extension, should be pdf !!"."<br/>";
//print "Error Code : ".$_FILES['pdfFile']['error']."<br/>";
}
}
header('Content-type: application/json');
echo json_encode($Return);
?>
Whilst I wait for the coffee to kick in I quickly wrote this - it follows how I would usually handle file uploads - hope it might be useful.
$fieldname = 'pdfFile';
$targetdir = 'webservice.pixsterstudio.com/upload/';
$desiredtype = 'application/pdf';
$return=array(
'status' => 'false',
'message' => 'Pdf file not uploaded!'
);
if( $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST' && isset( $_FILES[ $fieldname ] ) ){
try{
$obj = (object)$_FILES[ $fieldname ];
$name = $obj->name;
$size = $obj->size;
$tmp = $obj->tmp_name;
$type = $obj->type;
$error= $obj->error;
if( is_uploaded_file( $tmp ) && $error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK && $type == $desiredtype ){
$destination = $targetdir . $name;
if( file_exists( $destination ) ){
$return['status']='false';
$return['message']='File already exists!';
$return['line']=__LINE__;
clearstatcache();
} else {
$res = move_uploaded_file( $tmp, $destination );
$return['status']=$res ? 'true' : false;
$return['message']=$res ? 'Pdf file uploaded successfully!' : 'Moving the file failed!';
}
} else {
$return['status']='false';
$return['message']='File upload error!';
$return['line']=__LINE__;
}
}catch( Exception $e ){
$return['status']='false';
$return['message']=$e->getMessage();
$return['line']=__LINE__;
}
header('Content-type: application/json');
exit( json_encode( $return ) );
} else {
exit( header( 'HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed',true, 405 ) );
}
Using the following form I now receive a json message saying the upload failed...
<form method='post' action='http://www.webservice.pixsterstudio.com/uploadpdf.php' enctype="multipart/form-data">
<h1>Upload PDF to WebService</h1>
<input type='file' name='pdfFile' />
<input type="submit" value="Send">
</form>
{"status":"false","message":"Pdf file not uploaded!"}
lets check your code your mistake file mime type. check file type in php take mimetype file upload.
every upload file mime type something different
if ($_FILES['pdfFile']['type'] == "pdf") {
}
replace your php file type check line see above. this code check every pdf mimetype file upload.
below here my ios code here is my code i am not getting any type of error.
func callPostWithMultipartService(urlString: String, param : [String: AnyObject]?, fileData : NSData, completion: (result: String, data : AnyObject) -> Void)
{
upload(.POST, urlString, multipartFormData: { MultipartFormData in
MultipartFormData.appendBodyPart(data: fileData, name: "filepdf", fileName: "file.pdf", mimeType: "application/pdf")
for (key, value) in param! {
MultipartFormData.appendBodyPart(data: value.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)!, name: key)
}
}
