php for receiving image and text from MultipartEntity - php

Question

I'm trying to upload an image and some text via MultipartEntity.
I can upload and receive the image, but when I try to add a Stringbody I cannot seem to receive it.
Here's my android code
imports ETC...
public void oncreate(){
.....
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("image", exsistingFileName));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("title", "title"));
}
public void post(String url, List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs) {
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpContext localContext = new BasicHttpContext();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
try {
MultipartEntity entity = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
for(int index=0; index < nameValuePairs.size(); index++) {
if(nameValuePairs.get(index).getName().equalsIgnoreCase("image")) {
System.out.println("post - if");
// If the key equals to "image", we use FileBody to transfer the data
entity.addPart( nameValuePairs.get(index).getName(), new FileBody(new File (nameValuePairs.get(index).getValue())));
} else {
System.out.println("post - else");
// Normal string data
entity.addPart(nameValuePairs.get(index).getName(), new StringBody(nameValuePairs.get(index).getValue()));
}
}
System.out.println("post - done" + entity);
httpPost.setEntity(entity);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost, localContext);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
And my php:
<?php
$uploads_dir = 'uploads/';
$uploadname = $_FILES["image"]["name"];
$uploadtitle = $_FILES["title"]["title"];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $uploads_dir.$uploadname);
file_put_contents($uploads_dir.'juhl.txt', print_r($uploadtitle, true));
?>
I've been around the other questions about MultipartEntity, but cannot seem to find the answer. I've tried sending just the Stringbody, but didn't have any succs in that either. I think the problem is serverside (in the PHP) but any suggestions are welcome.
This is my first question in here - feel free to comment on form and clarity :-)

try this way ,
ByteArrayBody bab1 = bab11;
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
httpPost = new HttpPost("link.php?api_name=api");
MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity(
HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
// this is for String
try {
reqEntity.addPart("udid", new StringBody(UDID));
}
catch (Exception e)
{
}
// this is for image upload
try
{
reqEntity.addPart("file1", bab1);
} catch (Exception e)
{
}
// this is for video upload
try {
if (stPath1 != null) {
Log.e("path 1", stPath1);
Log.v("stDocType1", "video");
File file = new File(stPath1);
FileBody bin = new FileBody(file);
reqEntity.addPart("file1", bin);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
}
httpPost.setEntity(reqEntity);
ResponseHandler<String> responseHandler = new BasicResponseHandler();
response = httpClient.execute(httpPost, responseHandler);

The problem was i the php.
When you receive Stringbody there is only one parametre(as opposed to filebody). So I removed the second parametre in $uploadtitle = $_FILES["title"]["title"]; and it worked
<?php
$uploads_dir = 'uploads/';
$uploadname = $_FILES["image"]["name"];
$uploadtitle = $_FILES["title"];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $uploads_dir.$uploadname);
file_put_contents($uploads_dir.'juhl.txt', print_r($uploadtitle, true));
?>
I hope this helps if you have the same problem.
