Sending NSData and NSString in the same POST

I am trying to follow this Insert imagedata into MySQL database from XCode using PHP & JSON answer to send a photo from my app to a MySQL database but I am confused as to how to add an NSString ID to reference to the POST body.
We have the following to create the body which gets the image data:
NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"image\"; filename=\"imagename.jpg\"\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[#"Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[NSData dataWithData:imageData]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#--\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
// setting the body of the post to the reqeust
[request setHTTPBody:body];
How might I send additional information such as a text ID within the same post?
Here is the whole code to post data along with Imagedata and string.
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString] cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy timeoutInterval:60.0];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];

}
I think what you are looking for is setValue:forHTTPHeaderField:
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.example.com"]];
request.HTTPMethod = #"POST";
request.HTTPBody = body;
[request setValue:#"someValue" forHTTPHeaderField:#"someField"];

Can you try below code? It's tested and working fine. Hope it may help you to resolve your issue too.
NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"multipart/form-data; boundary=%#",boundary];

Posting data with image to server in iOS application

I am successfully posting UIImage to server, but I need to post a NSString with the UIImage.
Below is the code with which I tried to post UIImage to server.
selectedItem is the array where I am storing all selected UIImage from gallery.
The line which I have commented is what I need to send to server.
for (int i=0; i<[selectedItem count]; i++) {
//NSString *post =[[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"mid:%#",mid];
NSData *theData = UIImagePNGRepresentation([selectedItem objectAtIndex:i]);
NSString *urlString = #"http://retailertoolkit.com/RTK/upload.php";
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
NSString *boundary = [NSString stringWithString:#"---------------------------14737809831466499882746641449"];
NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"multipart/form-data; boundary=%#",boundary];
[request addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: #"Content-Type"];
NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#--\r\n",mid] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"file\"; filename=\"iphoneimage.png\"\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[NSData dataWithData:theData]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#--\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[request setHTTPBody:body];
NSURLConnection *connection=[[NSURLConnection alloc]initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
if(connection) {
} else {
}
}
Every parameter of the request has to be added as you are adding the image to the request.
Try replacing [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#--\r\n",mid] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; with
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"{parameter_name}\";\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[mid dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#--\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
Where parameter_name should be your mid string's key (parameter name). Good Luck!

Attaching an image and posting to a JSON API

How can I create a post with an image and attach it as a featured image from iPhone app?
I am using wordpress with JSON API plugin
My url to create post: <-- Reference to this
http://www.example.com/api/create_post/?nonce=eea4bb4ce5&status=publish&title=Test&content=test%20content&categories=animals
Now I need to attach an image from the phone gallery to this url. How can I do this?
Try this. Use JSON POST method. You can append all your parameters like this.
-(void)uploadImage
{
NSString *method = #"";
NSString *username = #"";
NSString *token = #"";
NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",#"yoururl"];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data];
// file
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation( imageView.image, 0.8);
NSString *boundary = [NSString stringWithString:#"---------------------------14737809831466499882746641449"];
NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"multipart/form-data; boundary=%#",boundary];
[request addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: #"Content-Type"];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"--%#\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"image\"; filename=\".jpg\"\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[NSData dataWithData:imageData]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
// parameter username
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"--%#\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"username\"\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[username dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
// parameter token
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"--%#\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"auth_token\"\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[token dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
// // parameter method

[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
// close form
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"--%#--\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
// setting the body of the post to the reqeust
[request setHTTPBody:body];
// now lets make the connection to the web
NSData *returnData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
NSString *returnString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:returnData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(#"%#",returnString);
[returnString release];
}
Hope this may help you.
To full fill your requirement you need to send image file on web-service using by POST method
First chose image from Photo Library or take it from the camera and make data of that Image using following code.
NSString *imgName = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"ImageTest"];
NSData *imgData=UIImagePNGRepresentation(imgView.image);
NSString* urlstring = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://www.example.com/api/create_post/?nonce=eea4bb4ce5&status=publish&title=Test&content=test%20content&categories=animals&imageFile=%#",imgName];
NSLog(#"URL >> %#",urlstring);
NSURL url = [NSURL URLWithString:[urlstring stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
//===============================================
NSMutableURLRequest postRequest = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
[postRequest setURL:url];
[postRequest setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
NSString boundary = [NSString stringWithString:#"---------------------------14737809831466499882746641449"];
NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"multipart/form-data; boundary=%#",boundary];
[postRequest addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: #"Content-Type"];
NSMutableData *body = [[NSMutableData alloc] init];
[postRequest addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: #"Content-Type"];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"userfile\"\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
imgName this is very important object in this code it's image which you need to pass in your web service which is shown as above.
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"userfile\"; filename=\"%#.png\"\r\n",imgName]] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; //img name
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
// Add Image imgData is Declare as Above.
[body appendData:[NSData dataWithData:imgData]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#--\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[postRequest setHTTPBody:body];
NSURLResponse *response;
NSError error = nil;
NSData* data = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:postRequest returningResponse:&response error:&error];
NSString *result=[[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
// NSString * jsonRes = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:url encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
NSLog(#"result = %#",[result JSONValue]);
It perfectly working with me ! I hope you may get help from here!
