Question

How to move an image from android to specified folder on a web server

This is my android code

package com.example.bitmaptest;

import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.util.ArrayList;

import org.apache.http.HttpEntity;
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.NameValuePair;
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.client.entity.UrlEncodedFormEntity;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
import org.apache.http.message.BasicNameValuePair;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Base64;
import android.util.Log;

public class Upload extends Activity {
InputStream is;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    Bitmap bitmapOrg=BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.a1);
    ByteArrayOutputStream bao = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    bitmapOrg.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, bao);
    byte[] ba = bao.toByteArray();
    String ba1 = Base64.encodeToString(ba, 0);
    ArrayList<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("image", ba1));

    try {

        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(
                "http://0.0.0.7:80/android/base.php");
        httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
        HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
        HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
        is = entity.getContent();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e("log_tag", "Error in http connection " + e.toString());
    }

}
}

and this is my php script

$uploadedFile = $_FILES['image']['name'];

$uploadedType = $_FILES['image']['type'];

$temp = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];

$error = $_FILES['image']['error'];

if ($error > 0) {
die("File could not be uploaded. $error");
}
else {
    move_uploaded_file($temp, "images/".$uploadedFile);
    echo "Upload Complete. ".$uploadedType;
}

When I send in android, httppost works, it shows in wireshark but the file is empty. There is no image.
