   Hi everybody,

   I have following simple code to upload a file through xml-rpc to my wordpress blog. The file appears within the wordpress media library, but the image can't be displayed as it seems to be corrupt. I assume I did something wrong with the base64 encoding.

   <?php
   
   require('./wp-includes/class-IXR.php');
   $rpc = new IXR_CLIENT('http://myBlog.com/xmlrpc.php');
   
   $image = array(
       'name'  => 'myTestImagenew.jpg',
       'type'  => 'image/jpg',
       'bits'  => base64_encode(file_get_contents("exifTest.jpg")),
   	'overwrite' => 0);
   
   $status = $rpc->query(
   	'wp.uploadFile',
   	1,
   	'USERNAME',
   	'PASSWORD',
   	$image);
   
   if(!$status){
   	echo 'Error ('.$rpc->getErrorCode().'): '.$rpc->getErrorMessage();
   	exit;
   }
   
   echo 'new post id: '.$rpc->getResponse();
   ?>

   Does anybody have some hints?

   after a little research I found a few things out:

   'bits' => base64_encode(file_get_contents("exifTest.jpg")),
   should be
   'bits' => new IXR_Base64($data)
   in combination with
   

   $fs = filesize('exifTest.jpg');
   $file = fopen('exifTest.jpg', 'rb');
   $data = fread($file, $fs);
   fclose($file);

   catching the send xml i found out that instead of <base64> the image is decoded as <string>, even with using new IXR_BASE64(data)

   Am I using it just wrong or does anyone have a hint to resolve it?

   Thx alot

   my bad, the codesnipped worked, it was a typo in the file resource, using new IXR_Base64(...) works nice

   Great, thanks for your posts.
   This is the code I use:
   

   <?php
   
   require('path/to/class-IXR.php');
   $rpc = new IXR_CLIENT('http://myblog.com/xmlrpc.php');
   
   $username = 'user';
   $password = 'pass'; 
   
   $url = "http://...JPG";
   
   if(function_exists('file_get_contents')) {
   $image = array(
       'name'  => 'myTestImagenew.jpg',
       'type'  => 'image/jpg',
   	'bits' => new IXR_Base64(file_get_contents($url)),
   	'overwrite' => 0);
   
   $status = $rpc->query(
   	'wp.uploadFile',
   	1,
   	$username,
   	$password,
   	$image);
   
   if(!$status){
   	echo 'Error ('.$rpc->getErrorCode().'): '.$rpc->getErrorMessage();
   	exit;
   }else{
   	$response = $rpc->getResponse();
   	echo 'The URL is: '.$response['url'];
   }
   }
   ?>
