Question

I am doing serverside work for my iPhone app, and for some reason the imageData will not upload. I would appreciate it if you could take a look at my PHP code, and tell me whether there is a problem.

addImage.php is called after the addrecipie method has been called.

My Obj-c code for uploading the image is:

NSString *name =  [@"Name: " stringByAppendingFormat:@"%d", arc4random()%20091011];
    NSString *username = [@"User: " stringByAppendingFormat:@"%d", arc4random()%20091011];
    NSString *description =  [@"Description: " stringByAppendingFormat:@"%d", arc4random()%20091011];
    NSString *shortDescription =  [@"ShortDescription:  " stringByAppendingFormat:@"%d", arc4random()%20091011];
    SBJsonWriter *writer = [[SBJsonWriter alloc] init];
    NSArray *array = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"llama", @"30", @"beef", @"beef", @"beefy", nil];
    NSString *ingredients = [writer stringWithObject:array];
    NSString *method = ingredients;
    NSString *category = @"Health";
    NSString *length = @"20";
    [writer release];
    NSArray *arr = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:name,description,shortDescription,ingredients,method,UIImageJPEGRepresentation([UIImage imageNamed:@"cupboard.jpg"], 1.0),username,length,category, nil];
    NSDictionary *dict = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjects:arr forKeys:recipieKeys];
    [[AccountManager sharedManager] addRecipie:dict];
    [dict release];

- (NSString *)addRecipie:(NSDictionary *)recipie {
    NSData *data = [recipie objectForKey:@"image"];
    //form data away....

    NSString *url = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://...com/(..).php?name=%@&description=%@&shortDescription=%@&ingredients=%@&method=%@&username=%@&length=%@&category=%@", [recipie objectForKey:@"name"], [recipie objectForKey:@"description"], [recipie objectForKey:@"shortdescription"], [recipie objectForKey:@"ingredients"], [recipie objectForKey:@"method"], [recipie objectForKey:@"username"], [recipie objectForKey:@"length"], [recipie objectForKey:@"category"]];
    NSString *escaped = [url stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];   
    [escaped stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"$" withString:@"%24"];
    [escaped stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"&" withString:@"%26"];
    [escaped stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"+" withString:@"%2B"];
    [escaped stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"," withString:@"%2C"];
    [escaped stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"/" withString:@"%2F"];
    [escaped stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@":" withString:@"%3A"];
    [escaped stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@";" withString:@"%3B"];
    [escaped stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"=" withString:@"%3D"];
    [escaped stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"?" withString:@"%3F"];
    [escaped stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"@" withString:@"%40"];
    [escaped stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@"%20"];
    [escaped stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"\t" withString:@"%09"];
    [escaped stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"#" withString:@"%23"];
    [escaped stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"<" withString:@"%3C"];
    [escaped stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@">" withString:@"%3E"];
    [escaped stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"\"" withString:@"%22"];
    [escaped stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"\n" withString:@"%0A"];
    ASIHTTPRequest *req = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:escaped]];
    [req startAsynchronous];
    if (![req error]) {
        NSString *ids = [req responseString];
        ASIFormDataRequest *reqs = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[@"http://maxkdevelopment.co.uk/recipes/addimage.php?id=" stringByAppendingFormat:@"%@", [ids stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]]]]];
        [reqs setData:data forKey:@"image"];
        [reqs startAsynchronous];
        if (![reqs error]) {
            return [reqs responseString]; 
        }
        else {
            return [[reqs error] description]; 
        }
    }
    else {
        NSLog(@"%@", [[req error] description]);
    }
    return @"";
}

Answer 1

You’ve spelt recipe “recipie” in the addImage.php SQL. Unless your table name is spelt incorrectly then the script will be returning 0 rows and not running the subsequent queries.
