Try to send image file to PHP with HTTPClient

Question

I got this after I try to running my code on esp32

Notice: Undefined index: imageFile in C:\xampp\htdocs\acc.php on line 23

My code on esp32

HTTPClient http;
http.begin("http://192.168.43.86/acc.php");  //Specify destination for HTTP request
http.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "form-data; name=\"imageFile\"; filename=\"picture.jpg\"\r\n");
http.addHeader("Content-type", "image/jpeg");

int httpResponseCode = http.POST(cam.getfb(), cam.getSize());


if (httpResponseCode > 0) {

  String response = http.getString();                       //Get the response to the request

  Serial.println(httpResponseCode);   //Print return code
  Serial.println(response);           //Print request answer

} else {

  Serial.print("Error on sending POST: ");
  Serial.println(httpResponseCode);

}

http.end();

I can send String by using this code but my code above don't work (cam.getfb() return as uint8_t and cam.getSize() return as size_t)

  http.addHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
  int httpResponseCode = http.POST("word=" + Cword);

code in php

<?php
$target_dir = "uploads/";
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["imageFile"]["name"]);
$uploadOk = 1;
$imageFileType = strtolower(pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION));
// Check if image file is a actual image or fake image
if(1) {
    $check = getimagesize($_FILES["imageFile"]["tmp_name"]);
    if($check !== false) {
        echo "File is an image - " . $check["mime"] . ".";
        $uploadOk = 1;
    } else {
        echo "File is not an image.";
        $uploadOk = 0;
    }
}
// Check if file already exists
if (file_exists($target_file)) {
    echo "Sorry, file already exists.";
    $uploadOk = 0;
}
// Check file size
if ($_FILES["imageFile"]["size"] > 500000) {
    echo "Sorry, your file is too large.";
    $uploadOk = 0;
}
// Allow certain file formats
if($imageFileType != "jpg" && $imageFileType != "png" && $imageFileType != "jpeg"
&& $imageFileType != "gif" ) {
    echo "Sorry, only JPG, JPEG, PNG & GIF files are allowed.";
    $uploadOk = 0;
}
// Check if $uploadOk is set to 0 by an error
if ($uploadOk == 0) {
    echo "Sorry, your file was not uploaded.";
// if everything is ok, try to upload file
} else {
    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["imageFile"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)) {
        echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES["imageFile"]["name"]). " has been uploaded.";
    } else {
        echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
    }
}
?>

11/13/2018 I try to update my code

<?php
date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Bangkok");
$date = date("Y_m_d_h_i_s");
$directory = "http://192.168.43.192/capture.jpg";
 $data = $rawData = file_get_contents("php://input");
 $new = "images/".$date.".jpg";
 file_put_contents($new, $data);
?>

You can't just put a single form element as payload. You need `Content-Type: multipart/form-data` first. Then embed your image entry. Else PHP won't populate `$_FILES`. // Alternatively you could access a literal POST body via `php://input` of course, but wouldn't have any payload meta info (`$_FILES`) then. — mario, Nov 12 '18 at 14:50
Please move your solution to an answer of its own, thank you. — Cœur, Dec 31 '18 at 08:20
Hello, Is it possible to send the MJPEG stream as well from Camera to PHP server and record it on the server directly? — Ishaan Puniani, Mar 28 '20 at 22:49
