File uploading in Black berry or iphone browsers

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 20.2008

Hi,

I had written the Program of File uploading in PHP.It is working in the Nokia phone browsers.

But it is not compatible with the iphone or Black berry devices.

i)Was there any separate file uploading program to be written for the iphone or black berry devices.

ii)Was there any good simulators or emulators to test this file uploading concepts in iphone or blackberry devices.

Thanks
ravi

@Phill_PaffordAug 20.2008 — what are the errors your getting?

I think the iPhone uses safari which should support file uploads from the iPhone. I don't know the browser that the BB uses but it might have some limitations.

Could you post some of your code for review?

We have tested with blackberry simulator, In this simulator the browse button is in disable mode .so we cant click browse button,

so we need to write image path directly but we cant find out the path for the image, but the image is not uploading to the server.


Do you know anything about facebook or flickr functionlity they are doing using special email address for uploading files from iphone to site.

Was it is related to the same problem what i am facing?.I google it and i found out something with the following links.

We have tried using your code.It is uploading the images on the particular folder,but the images is not displaying.

We cant find out the exact image path because the browse button is in disable mode so we need to write the image path directly. But if we use your code some file is stored to the server but not exact file

for example

In black berry simulator the image path like

/Device Memory/samples/pictures/Amp.png

This is the path i have used for upload

but in the server some file with Amp.png is stored but image is not displayed in server.

@Phill_PaffordAug 21.2008 — You would need to know the exact path for both the device and the server.

You can specify both.

@ayveghAug 21.2008 — As of this point in time, the iPhone doesn't support file uploads, and there is no plan for supporting it in the future.

Then again, knowing Apple, who knows ?

Success!
