HttpUtils2 - upload file error

[jpvniekerk]

When I try to upload a file with HttpUtils2, I get "Error: forbidden"

I've changed the permissions for the folder to 777, but no luck.

I can download a file from the same URL without any problems.

(replaced the actual urls details with ____)

   Dim job1,job2 As HttpJob
   Dim myurl,dlfilename,ulfiledir,lufilename As String

   job1.Initialize("Job1", Me)
   job2.Initialize("Job2", Me)

        myurl = "http://www.__________.com/_________/"
        dlfilename = "testdlfile.txt"
        ulfiledir = File.DirRootExternal
        ulfilename = "testulfile.txt"

   job1.Download(myurl&dlfilename)
   job2.PostFile(myurl,ulfiledir,ulfilename)

What am I doing wrong (or omitting)?

The file will not be uploaded without a server component (PHP script for example) that will read the data and save it.

I'm not clued up on PHP or anything similar - is there any examples of how to do this available?

 

[Erel]

This command will save the file:

file_put_contents('test.txt', file_get_contents('php://input'));

Thanks Erel, I will give it a try.
This will always save the file with the name "test.txt" (or whatever you put in the command).
How can I save the file with the name of the file being uploaded (as named in b4a)?

 

[Erel]

You can send the file name as a GET parameter. This will work even when you issue a POST request.

Thanks Erel,

Don't quite know how to do that...

I'll have to brush up on PHP some more!!! (I understand that PHP is not really part of this forum)
