Hi,

I am trying to upload a file to apache web server . The post request is successful. I am getting HTTP OK

Post request

POST /upload.php?save-as=t.txt HTTP/1.1
Host: x.x.x.x
Content-Length: 5
Content-Type: text/plain

Hello
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Now with the .php script upload.php I am trying to save the file as t.txt .. Can anyone point me where I am going wrong the file is not getting saved in the sever.

<?php
$filename= "t.txt";
$content = $_POST["body"]; ///?? I think there is something wrong here
$fp = fopen($filename,"a"); // $fp is now the file pointer to file $filename
if($fp){
fwrite($fp,$content); // Write information to the file
fclose($fp); // Close the file
echo $filename . " has been saved sucessfully.";
}
else {
echo $filename . " was not saved successfully.";
}
?>

Thank you. How the script will read the results, should it read using HTTP GET (as I am new to this).  Is there any information available regarding this anywhere in the website.

The POST request type is not an upload method per se, but rather one of several methods of delivering data in a request. If you wish to upload a file, you should either use POST to send data to a script on your server, which reads the data and saves it, or use the PUT method with a DAV service.

For example: You have upload.php on your server which reads the POST contents and saves it as a file;

POST /upload.php?save-as=t.txt HTTP/1.1
Host: somehost
Content-Length: 5
Content-Type: text/plain

Hello


The script will then read your contents and save it using some php/whatever-language method you define.

With regards,
Daniel.
