Android Question Send file to server using httputlis2 postfile

[Devv]

Hello guys i'am trying to send a file to my server using php
i tried the following

<?php
   $FileName = $_GET['FileName'];

   if (!$FileName)
      $FileName = "FileName";

   if (strstr($FileName,"php"))
      return;

   $PostData = file_get_contents("php://input");

   $File = fopen($FileName,"wb");

   fwrite($File, $PostData);
   fclose($File);

   echo "ACK";
?>

the following code is working but i'am always getting the file names as "FileName"

WHY php is not recognizing the file name ??
can i send the file name with the file as an extra parameter ?

PS: i'am using httputlis2 post file to send it to the php

Cause you dont give a filename with a postfile request.
You need to use a multipartpost to give a file AND a (or even more) value with one postrequest.
See my signature for a Example

thanks for fast replay DonManfred
the files i'am working with is less than 50 KB.
sorry for this silly question but i'am a noob
multipartpost: does mean sending the file part after part each part as one http post
or it does mean that a single http post with more than one parameter ?

anyway is their is a difference in the request time if using normal or multipart post ?

 

[DonManfred]

See my example. I´m using two files in ONE uploadrequest. You can put more... You need to handle the files then via the $_FILES array like in an normal webpage-formular-request.

not really... a few bytes more to send. And you need to handle the given vars in another way than you did in a postfile-request

Thanks bro , i'am seeing your script now
so making a little change to my script is not possible to send a string (file name) with it ?
i have to change the whole sender and receiver code right ?

No using postfile

yes.

You can store the filename in this code when sending...

    Dim fd As FileData
    fd.Initialize
    fd.Dir = File.DirAssets
    fd.FileName = "snap1.png"
    fd.KeyName = "Aufnahme"
    fd.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
    files.Add(fd)
