Is it possible to upload files using PHP webservice ?

Question

I have been thinking of this and I don't know such way to upload files using a webservice. Would need an example if possible.

It is not possible with POST method because WS cannot receive POST data. If you know WS you would know it only accepts param passing through the caller. I think it is possible by transfering the bytes, not sure tho.

What I meant POST data was POST file data. A POST data anyway is received by your PHP script, not WS. the PHP script gets POST data and pass those data into a WS. While other POST data can be passed through function with parameters type of string, integer or array, file's POST data cannot be applied to those. That's why I thought of transfering byte by bytes to the WS but it would be crazy with big files.

Answer 1

Edit: Okay I see what you're saying. I think the easiest thing to do would be to use a different webhost for file upload.

Answer 2

Sure - just use POST (standard HTTP)
