Hi,

I tried to build a small tool to handle the images for our NGO.
I wrote it in vb.net.

The login works, I can get the categories, but if I try to upload an image I get the error "Forbidden file type".
I used an other php script where I just output the content of the $_POST and $_FILES, there I get this response:

$_POST:
array(2) {
["method"]=>
string(20) "pwg.images.addSimple"
["category"]=>
string(2) "94"
}

$_FILES:
array(1) {
["image"]=>
array(5) {
["name"]=>
string(17) "IMGP0189 mini.jpg"
["type"]=>
string(10) "image/jpeg"
["tmp_name"]=>
string(25) "/mnt/shared/tmp/php8Naq.3"
["error"]=>
int(0)
["size"]=>
int(61455)
}
}

I hope someone can help me with that.

Best regards
Timo

small update:
I got the line in the code where the problem is:
list($width, $height, $type) = getimagesize($source_filepath);

There are no information in $width, $height and $type. If I try to set $type manually, there is no error message but the image is broken and can not be displayed.

Someone an idea what I can do now?

BR
Timo

Hi peep,

There may be a problem with the file upload. Do you correctly set the "content type" to form-data in your POST request? See my example in Perl on http://piwigo.org/doc/doku.php?id=dev:w … .addsimple

Another way to upload is to use pwg.images.upload (which is not correctly documented yet, because I thought only the HTML5 admin form would use it, but the new iOS app already use it...).

You can still use the original API upload, which is N * pwg.images.addChunk + pwg.images.add, see http://piwigo.org/doc/doku.php?id=dev:w … images.add : it doesn't rely on form-data and FILES request.

I think the problem is the space in the file name

IMGP0189 mini.jpg

try with

IMGP0189_mini.jpg
