Uploading a file to the server.

Hi all, I have looked at various examples on Internet on uploading the files to a php script but was not able to suceed. I have put together this script, can someone please tell where I am going wrong.

var sep = Titanium.Filesystem.getSeparator();
var uploadFile = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Dir.getNativePath(),filename);
var content = uploadFile.read().text;
 
var xhr = Titanium.Network.createHTTPClient();
 
xhr.addEventListener(Titanium.HTTP_DONE, function(){
    alert('done ' + this.responseText);             
});
 
xhr.addEventListener(Titanium.HTTP_STATE_CHANGED, function(){
        alert('changed '+ this.responseText);               
});
 
xhr.open('POST', "http://test.com/upload.php");
xhr.setRequestHeader("contentType", "multipart/form-data");
xhr.send({uploadedfile:content});

For PHP I have used the script given at (https://gist.github.com/1082369) .That is -

<?php
 
$target_path = "uploads/";
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'] . ".txt"); 
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
    echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'])." has been uploaded";
} else{
    echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}
// portions of this code where borrowed from pec1985
?>

Hi Vaishnav

I tried on my end :

var uploadFile = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.resourcesDirectory, "test.txt");
var content = uploadFile.read().text;
alert(content);

It is returning me the text of my file.Do the PHP script you mention accept Complete text file with .txt extension or only text of the file??

When you use read().text ,it returns the CONTENT of the text file , it read file as TEXT. And if you want to directly send file with extension .txt , then use :

var uploadFile = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.resourcesDirectory, "test.txt");

xhr.send({uploadedfile:uploadFile});
