Question

I want to upload a plist file to my server from my iphone app. I have tried the following code (found googling), but my file is still not uploaded. Where is the problem?

iphone app code (method which handles uploading):

- (IBAction)sendHTTPPost:(id)sender {

    NSString *path = [self pathOfFile];
    NSString *fileName = @"Contacts";
    NSData *data = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path]; 
    NSString *urlString = @"http://localhost/ajaxim/fileUpload.php";

    //set up request
    NSMutableURLRequest *request= [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
    [request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
    [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];

    //required xtra info
    NSString *boundary = @"---------------------------14737809831466499882746641449";
    NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"multipart/form-data; boundary=%@", boundary];
    [request addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: @"Content-Type"];

    //body of the post
    NSMutableData *postbody = [NSMutableData data];
    [postbody appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [postbody appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"userfile\"; filename=\"%@\"\r\n", fileName] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [postbody appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:@"Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [postbody appendData:data];
    [postbody appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@--\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [request setHTTPBody:postbody];

    //lets make the connection
    NSData *returnData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
    NSString *returnString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:returnData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    returnString = [returnString stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];
    //NSLog(returnString);
    }

php code for server:

<?php
$target = "./upload/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ;
$ok=1;
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)) 
{
  echo "YES";
  echo "http://localhost/ajaxim/upload/{$target}";
}
else {
   echo "Not uploaded";
}
?> 

please give me some suggestion where should i change the code or where am i wrong?

It seems to me that you are posting the file in as userfile, and trying to read it server side as uploaded.

Make this uniform and it should work.
