AFNetworking combine data and image to send to PHP - ios

Question

I am (finally) using afnetworking for my iOS project. I have managed with success to send POST data and an image to my php server, but in separated blocks of code.
Send Data:
NSDictionary *parameters = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:myname,#"name", mysencondname, #"twoname", nil];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://DOMAIN.COM"];
AFHTTPClient *httpClient = [[AFHTTPClient alloc] initWithBaseURL:url];
[httpClient defaultValueForHeader:#"Accept"];
[httpClient postPath:#"post.php" parameters:parameters
success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id response) {
NSLog(#"operation hasAcceptableStatusCode: %d", [operation.response statusCode]);
[self requestDone:[operation.response statusCode]];
}
failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Error with request");
NSLog(#"%#",[error localizedDescription]);
[self requestFailed];
}];
Send Image:
NSData *imageToUpload = UIImagePNGRepresentation(_imageView.image);
AFHTTPClient *client= [AFHTTPClient clientWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.DOMAIN.com"]];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [client multipartFormRequestWithMethod:#"POST" path:#"upload.php" parameters:nil constructingBodyWithBlock: ^(id <AFMultipartFormData>formData) {
[formData appendPartWithFileData: imageToUpload name:#"avatar" fileName:fullFilename mimeType:#"image/png"];
}];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request];
[operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSString *response = [operation responseString];
NSLog(#"response: [%#]",response);
[MBProgressHUD hideHUDForView:self.view animated:YES];
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
if([operation.response statusCode] == 403){
NSLog(#"Upload Failed");
[MBProgressHUD hideHUDForView:self.view animated:YES];
return;
}
NSLog(#"error: %#", [operation error]);
}];
My question is how can I combine them so I can send an image and some data like (myname, #"name", mysencondname, #"twoname") to my server with a single request ?

Answer 1

Inside the multipartFormRequestWithMethod method there is parameter called parameters that you can use to send some data along.
For example:
NSDictionary *params = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
myName, #"name"
, secondName, #"twoname"
, nil];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [client multipartFormRequestWithMethod:#"POST" path:#"upload.php" parameters:params constructingBodyWithBlock: ^(id <AFMultipartFormData>formData) {
[formData appendPartWithFileData: imageToUpload name:#"avatar" fileName:fullFilename mimeType:#"image/png"];
}];
