   Hello.

   After many hours I was able to upload files via XML RPC, but is there a way to get as result the new URL of the file?

   I have two codes. This one works fine but I get only "bool(true)" as result:

   //code 1
   	$XmlRpc_result = null;
   	$XmlRpc_client = new IXR_Client ($rpcurl);
   	$fs = filesize ($filename);
   	$file = fopen ($filename, 'rb');
   	$filebits = fread ($file, $fs);
   	fclose ($file);
   	$updata = array
   	(
   		'name' => $saveas,
   		'type' => $filetype,
   		'bits' => new IXR_Base64 ($filebits)
   	);
   	$params = array(0,$username,$password,$updata);
   
   	 try{
   		$XmlRpc_result = $XmlRpc_client->query(
   			'metaWeblog.newMediaObject',$params
   		);
   		 var_dump ($XmlRpc_result);
   	}
   	 catch (Exception $e){
   		 var_dump ( $e->getMessage ());
   	 }
   }

   Before getting to that code, I was trying to upload files using this code:

   //code 2
       $request = xmlrpc_encode_request('metaWeblog.newMediaObject',$params);
       $ch = curl_init();
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $request);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $rpcurl);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 1);
       $results = curl_exec($ch);
       curl_close($ch);
       echo $results;

   Although this second code doesn't upload files successfully (I get Warnings and it creates a 0 bytes file), it returns results, and among them the final destination of the uploaded file:

   Warning: strlen() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in [...]\xmlrpc.php on line 2809
   (three more warnings)
   filenew-image.jpg urlhttp://..../wp-content/uploads/2011/02/new-image.jpg typeimage/jpeg 1

   So what I'm looking for is, either make code 1 return the new URL of the file, or make code 2 work.

   If anyone can help me out, please do! Thanks!

   To anyone attempting to use the code above:

   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 1);

   Note that the timout is set to 1 second. I was getting blank responses on any files over a few kB. Set it to something more reasonable, especially if you want to upload images of larger size.

   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
