Upload in REST API
  • yeste64yeste64
    Hello,

    I'm coding a REST API. In a PUT method, I want to edit the users resource. But I've a problem with the picture of the user :


    public function put_edit($id = null)
    {

            if (is_null($id) || ! $user = Model_User::find($id))
            {
                    return $this->response('User not found.'), 404);
            }

            $val = Model_User::validate('edit');
                
            if ($val->run(Input::put()))
            {

                    //Picture
                    if (!empty($_FILES))
                    {  
                            //Do something...
                    }
            }
    }


    But it never enter in my "if (!empty($_FILES))" , while in my method post_create, this condition works fine.

    I don't understand, I use the Chrome extension named "Postman" to test my rest queries.

    Thank you in advance for your help !

    Another clarification : in my form (in Postman), when I add only 1 field (username), Input::put() (in my FuelPHP application) contain this : 

    {"------WebKitFormBoundaryzjdhryRyh5SWbVbB\r\nContent-Disposition:_form-data;_name":"\u0022username\u0022\r\n\r\nmyusername\r\n------WebKitFormBoundaryzjdhryRyh5SWbVbB--\r\n"}


    Normally, I should have :
    {
        "username": "myusername"
    }

    Here the HTTP request en entire :

    PUT /myproject/api/users/edit/36 HTTP/1.1
    Host: localhost
    Cache-Control: no-cache

    ----WebKitFormBoundaryE19zNvXGzXaLvS5C
    Content-Disposition: form-data; name="username"

    myusername
    ----WebKitFormBoundaryE19zNvXGzXaLvS5C


    I precise that I've checked "form-data" option in Postman to send data in my request. If I check "x-www-form-encoded' option, it works, but I can't send files whith this option, it's posible only with "form-data".

    That is afaik currently not supported. You can add a feature request at https://github.com/fuel/core/issues with this use-case.

    Ok, 

    If I use a POST request it works, but for edit my resource is wrong, no ?

    If you use POST, then PHP will do the decoding of the input. For others, the framework has to to it, and currently it does only support www-form-urlencoded, and no multipart-data (which is quite complex to parse).
