Devv Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Oct 17, 2015 #1 i'm using httpUtils to post file to my php script: PHP: <?php $PostData = file_get_contents("php://input"); $File = fopen("test.mp3","wb"); fwrite($File, $PostData); fclose($File); ?> and the b4a code Code: uploader.PostFile(url & "/1.php",File.DirInternal,"test.mp3") every thing is working fine but i cant find a way to upload the file with a specific file name i don't always want the name to be "test.mp3" how can i control the name from b4a ?

Click to expand... okhttp replaces the old httputils. You are forced to do the update if you want to run your apps on Android 6+ Use the okHTTP download (3rd) as b4a part. Use the PHP download (2nd) to see the php part. Upvote 0

Click to expand... your method will upload the file part by part right ? my question is why we should upload the file as parts why not send it as one part ? my files are small (<1mb) why should we make it parts then send it to the PHP < won't this make the upload slower ?

It will use the right way to send multiple files to a php script. It´s like sending a form with multiple data... The point is that you need to use the correct way to "read" the file from the the given post vars (using the $_FILES array) Upvote 0

But with this you CAN NOT send any filedata to the server. It will work if you use the multipartupload though. And additional with the multipart you are not limited to the maximum length of an url. So, please ignore my tips and code what you want to. I´m out! Upvote 0

Click to expand... If you use get (anything after the ? in the url) then yes. this will work. As long as the maximum length a url is allowed to have. So, giving just a few values like ints this will work. but try to give 5 texts with a length of 32kb together with the filepayload as get parameters. You will reach the limit of an url Upvote 0
