Uploading files though Alamofire and retrieve it server side with Slim PHP - php

Question

I tried to solved an issue regarding file upload with Alamofire (Link) (Swift 3.0) and retrieving them server-side using Slim PHP (Link) micro framework.
I'm trying to upload picture taken from the iPhone using
Alamofire.upload(multipartFormData:{
multipartFormData in
multipartFormData.append("value".data(/* ... */)!, withName :"key")
var idx = 1;
for imageRepresentation in imageData {
let pictureName = "pictures[]"
multipartFormData.append(imageRepresentation, withName: pictureName, mimeType: "image/jpeg")
idx += 1
}
},
to: uploadUrl,
method:.post,
headers: httpHeaders,
encodingCompletion: /* ... */
Here i'm almost sure that this script is working fine because when I hit https://httpbin.org/post I get back the encoded data base 64 image I've uploaded, so I'm quite sure that the issue comes from my server side code.
So, as I said, I'm using Slim PHP (Link) server side with this route
$this->post('/upload', function ($request, $response, $args) {
$request->getParsedBody(); //null
$request->getQueryParams(); // []
$request->getBody(); // {}
$request->getUploadedFiles(); // []
return /*Some JSON */
})->setName('upload');
Did I miss something ? Is there something I didn't understand ?
I already tried

And the most weird thing is that the script works like a charm when executed from Paw API Explorer
Any help would be really appreciated ! Thanks.

For Uploading the image selected from photo library
In Swift 3 and Alamofire 4
Here is the Full Implementation of how to upload using Alamofire
Add the Following to your ViewController Class:
UIImagePickerControllerDelegate and UINavigationControllerDelegate
Create A Button:
First Create a button and implement the Following method in it for picker view
#IBAction func btnSelectProfileImageClicked(_ sender: Any) {
let ImagePicker = UIImagePickerController()
ImagePicker.delegate = self
ImagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.photoLibrary
self.present(ImagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
Then Implement the following UIPicker Methods:
func imagePickerController( _ picker: UIImagePickerController,didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info:[String : Any] )
{Imgprofile.image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)}
Make Another Button Which Passes the data to URL using Alamofire and Give an #IBAction outlet to it to it :
Enter Following Data to it
#IBAction func btnUpdateProfileSelected(_ sender: Any) {
Alamofire.upload(multipartFormData: { (multipartFormData) in
multipartFormData.append(UIImageJPEGRepresentation(self.Imgprofile.image!, 1)!, withName: "Prescription", fileName: "Profile_Image.jpeg", mimeType: "image/jpeg")
}, to:" Your URL Here where You want to Upload")
{ (result) in
switch result {
case .success(let upload, _, _):
print(result)
upload.uploadProgress(closure: { (progress) in
print(progress)
})
upload.responseJSON { response in
//print response.result
print(response);
}
case .failure(let encodingError):
print(encodingError);
}
}
}
Thats all
Hope This helps
For Full sample code or any doubts please comment. I will provide you
the sample code for this. Which Includes the Fetching as well as
upload data using Alamofire.
Thanks
