PHP Example (original) (raw)

Often sending data to the server, along with the file itself, is needed. Using PHP you'll often use the $_FILES global to get the file itself and the $_POST global to get the other fields values. Here are two examples using ngf-upload to send files to PHP backend scripts.
Sending additional data
Upload.upload({ url: 'api/upload-image.php', method: 'POST', file: file, data: { 'awesomeThings': $scope.awesomeThings, 'targetPath' : '/media/' } })
You can handle the data on the backend like this:
filename=filename = filename=_FILES['file']['name']; meta=meta = meta=_POST; destination=destination = destination=meta['targetPath'] . $filename; move_uploaded_file( FILES[′file′][′tmpname′],_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] , FILES[′file′][′tmpname′],destination );
