how to upload image to server from ios with Alamofire - php

Question

So i followed this suggestion: https://stackoverflow.com/a/27014372/4751488.
When i run my script the photo wont upload. I get no error on the JSON response only that the image has not been uploaded. Anny ideas?
my main function:
var image : UIImage = UIImage(named:"record")!
let imageData2 = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image)
imageViewController.image = image
var parameters = [
"pic" :NetData(data: imageData2!, mimeType: MimeType.ImageJpeg ,filename: "customName.jpg"),
"otherParm" :"Value"
]
let urlRequest = self.urlRequestWithComponents("http://www.xxx.xx/uploadPhoto.php", parameters: parameters)
Alamofire.upload(urlRequest.0, urlRequest.1)
.progress { (bytesWritten, totalBytesWritten, totalBytesExpectedToWrite) in
println("\(totalBytesWritten) / \(totalBytesExpectedToWrite)")
}
.responseJSON { (request, response, JSON, error) in
println("REQUEST \(request)")
println("RESPONSE \(response)")
println("JSON \(JSON)")
println("ERROR \(error)")
}
and my urlRequestWithComponents looks like this :
func urlRequestWithComponents(urlString:String, parameters:NSDictionary) -> (URLRequestConvertible, NSData) {
// create url request to send
var mutableURLRequest = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: urlString)!)
mutableURLRequest.HTTPMethod = Alamofire.Method.POST.rawValue
//let boundaryConstant = "myRandomBoundary12345"
let boundaryConstant = "NET-POST-boundary-\(arc4random())-\(arc4random())"
let contentType = "multipart/form-data;boundary="+boundaryConstant
mutableURLRequest.setValue(contentType, forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
// create upload data to send
let uploadData = NSMutableData()
// add parameters
for (key, value) in parameters {
uploadData.appendData("\r\n--\(boundaryConstant)\r\n".dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)!)
if value is NetData {
// add image
var postData = value as! NetData
//uploadData.appendData("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"\(key)\"; filename=\"\(postData.filename)\"\r\n".dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)!)
// append content disposition
var filenameClause = " filename=\"\(postData.filename)\""
let contentDispositionString = "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"\(key)\";\(filenameClause)\r\n"
let contentDispositionData = contentDispositionString.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)
uploadData.appendData(contentDispositionData!)
// append content type
//uploadData.appendData("Content-Type: image/png\r\n\r\n".dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)!) // mark this.
let contentTypeString = "Content-Type: \(postData.mimeType.getString())\r\n\r\n"
let contentTypeData = contentTypeString.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)
uploadData.appendData(contentTypeData!)
uploadData.appendData(postData.data)
}else{
uploadData.appendData("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"\(key)\"\r\n\r\n\(value)".dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)!)
}
}
uploadData.appendData("\r\n--\(boundaryConstant)--\r\n".dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)!)
// return URLRequestConvertible and NSData
return (Alamofire.ParameterEncoding.URL.encode(mutableURLRequest, parameters: nil).0, uploadData)
}
php code :
<?php
// In PHP versions earlier than 4.1.0, $HTTP_POST_FILES should be used instead
// of $_FILES.
$uploaddir = "/var/www/html/upload/uploads/";
// PS: custom filed name : pic
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['pic']['name']);
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["pic"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)) {
$array = array ("code" => "1", "message" => "successfully");
} else {
$array = array ("code" => "0", "message" => "Possible file upload attack!".$uploadfile);
}
echo json_encode ( $array );
?>
rsponse in xcode:
JSON Optional({
code = 0;
message = "Possible file upload attack!/var/www/html/upload/uploads/customName.jpg";})
ERROR nil

Old topic but if you're looking for an answer, you use the function move_uploaded_file with the var $target_file which is not initialized.
You should have used $uploadfile
