Using XML-RPC to upload images

Hi Joseph

Yes, the type is wrong.. it’s just not getting the data in correctly..

HTTP request sent, awaiting response… 200 OK
Length: 8 [image/jpeg]

Is what it was returning, so after digging some more I realised the file data was not base64 encoded, so I changed my function to now be:

function wpUploadFileXMLRPC($blogid,$rpcurl,$username,$password,$filename, $filetype, $file){

    xmlrpc_set_type($file, 'base64');
    $params = array('',$username,$password,array('name'=>$filename, 'type'=>$filetype,'bits'=>$file,'overwrite'=>false));
    $request =  preg_replace('/
/', '', xmlrpc_encode_request('wp.uploadFile',$params));

    echo($request);
    $result = makeCall($request,$rpcurl);
    echo("here\n");
    echo(var_dump($result)."\n");
    return($result);
}

And now it doesn’t work at all, no errors though.. the output from the script is:

bool(false)

If i dump out the request it looks like:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”iso-8859-1″?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>wp.uploadFile</methodName>
<params>
<param>
<value>
<string/>
</value>
</param>
<param>
<value>
<string>username</string>
</value>
</param>
<param>
<value>
<string>password</string>
</value>
</param>
<param>
<value>
<struct>
<member>
<name>name</name>
<value>
<string>testimage.jpg</string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>type</name>
<value>
<string>image/jpeg</string>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>bits</name>
<value>
<base64>/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEA<snip>some base64 encoded data</snip>AHYV1dXVoxv4EK3s//9k=</base64>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>overwrite</name>
<value>
<boolean>0</boolean>
</value>
</member>
</struct>
</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodCall>

Which looks fine?

Any pointers most welcome 🙂
