Sending multiple Images to Web server - ios

Question

I am working in an app, where i need to send 3 images to a Web Server. I don't know the perfect method that works fast and efficient.
I have 3 UIImageView that capture image data from camera or photo album. Below,I am using AFNetworking to send 1 image to Web Server.
NSString *imgPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:#"Default" ofType:#"png"];
NSData *imgData = UIImagePNGRepresentation([UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:imgPath]);
NSData *imagVIewData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(imageView1.image,90);
if (imagVIewData) {
AFHTTPClient *client = [AFHTTPClient clientWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://myurl.com/xxx.php]];
NSMutableURLRequest *myRequest = [client multipartFormRequestWithMethod:#"POST" path:Nil parameters:Nil constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id<AFMultipartFormData> formData) {
[formData appendPartWithFileData:imagVIewData name:#"file_upload" fileName:#"123.jpg" mimeType:#"images/jpeg"];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc]initWithRequest:myRequest];
[operation setUploadProgressBlock:^(NSUInteger bytesWritten, long long totalBytesWritten, long long totalBytesExpectedToWrite) {
NSLog(#"Sent %lld of %lld bytes",totalBytesWritten,totalBytesExpectedToWrite);
}];
[operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(#"upload complete");
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"%#",operation.responseString);
}];
NSOperationQueue *queue = [[NSOperationQueue alloc]init];
[queue addOperation:operation];
}
}
i need someone advice to send 3 different images from 3 UIImageViews. Is it possible with this program or do i need to work through different methods?
any idea?

Answer 1

The majority of the code you have can actually be kept. Why not try putting all the JPEG representations of the images into an array
NSArray *myArrayOfImages = #[Image1,Image2,Image3]
NSArray *myArrayOfNames = #[strings..]
NSArray *myArrayOfFileNames = #[strings..]
Then within the constructing body with block parameter put something like this..
for(int i=0; i < myArrayOfImages.length; i++){
NSData *temp = [myArrayOfImages objectAtIndex:i];
NSString *tempFile = [myArrayOfNames objectAtIndex:i]
NSString *tempFile = [myArrayOfFileNames objectAtIndex:i]
[formData appendPartWithFileData:temp name:tempName fileName:tempFile mimeType:#"images/jpeg"];
}
you could also use a dictionary or whatever data structure you want, point is you just loop over and append within the constructing block.
