I am working on file upload api in php. For Now I just create this simple php which will upload the file from an html page to server. But in this code the fileupload control's name is fixed so I pass that name in my php code for upload the file. But I want to create this api for third party. If anybody ask for api then I will give link of my api and they will consume it. Now anybody please help me to convert this into dynamic
Here is the html code
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Upload Image </h2>
<form action="http://mvcangularworld.com/api.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
<input type="file" name="filename" value="" />
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
and here is my php code for api.php
<?php
// Path to move uploaded files
$target_path = 'images/';
$response = array();
$file_upload_url = $target_path;
$filename = $_POST['filename'];
if (isset($_FILES['filename']['name']))
{
$target_path = $target_path . basename($_FILES['filename']['name']);
// reading other post parameters
echo $_FILES['filename']['name']."<br />";
echo $_FILES['filename']['tmp_name']."<br />";
$response['file_name'] = basename($_FILES['filename']['name']);
try
{
// Throws exception incase file is not being moved
if (!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'], $target_path))
{
// make error flag true
$response['error'] = true;
$response['message'] = 'Could not move the file!';
}
// File successfully uploaded
//echo $file_upload_url . basename($_FILES['filename']['name']);
$response['message'] = 'File uploaded successfully!';
$response['error'] = false;
$response['file_path'] = $file_upload_url . basename($_FILES['filename']['name']);
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
// Exception occurred. Make error flag true
$response['error'] = true;
$response['message'] = $e->getMessage();
}
}
//else
//{
// File parameter is missing
/* $response['error'] = true;
$response['message'] = 'Not received any file';
} */
// Echo final json response to client
echo
json_encode($response, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES);
?>
here is the api link
http://mvcangularworld.com/api.php
Please help me to make this api dynamic
A simple solution can be, add a hidden field which have name of file field like:
<input type="hidden" name="fileFieldName" value="filename" />
and on server side:
$fileFieldName = $_POST['fileFieldName'];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES[$fileFieldName]['tmp_name']
