WWWForm always returning Internal Server Error

Questions & Answers

Hi.

I have a GUIButton that should take a screenshot and then upload it to server. This is the code:

void takePhoto(){
		console = "Taking photo.";
		if (settings.debug == true) {
			Debug.Log ("Taking photo.");
		}
			
		StartCoroutine(uploadPhoto());
	}

IEnumerator uploadPhoto(){
	yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();

	int width = Screen.width;
	int height = Screen.height;
	var tex = new Texture2D( width, height, TextureFormat.RGB24, false );
	tex.ReadPixels( new Rect(0, 0, width, height), 0, 0 );
	tex.Apply();

	byte[] bytes = tex.EncodeToPNG();
	Destroy( tex );

	WWWForm form = new WWWForm();
	form.AddField("key", "value");
	form.AddBinaryData("file", bytes, "screenshot.png", "image/png");

	WWW w = new WWW(url, form);
	yield return w;
	if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(w.error)) {
		Debug.Log(w.error);
	}
	else {
		Debug.Log("Finished uploading.");
	}
}

And this is php script to save this screenshot on server:

	if ($_POST){
		if ($_FILES['file']['error'] !== UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
			die("Upload failed with error code " . $_FILES['uploadedfile']['error']);
		} else {
			if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpg") || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg") || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/png")) && ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 20000000000)){
				if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0) {
					echo "File error: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . ""; 
				}else{ 
				
					echo "Uploaded image: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "";
					echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "";
					echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb";
					echo "Temporary name: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "";
					
					if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"])){
						echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
					}else{
						move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
						echo "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
					}
				}
			} else{ 
			echo "Invalid file"; 
			}
		}
		print_r($GLOBALS);
	} else{
		echo "No POST. ";
	}

Now I’ll expain you the problem. It seems that WWW is always returning “500 Internal Server Error” and the screenshot is not uploading.

But if I send an empty form to the server (without BinaryData) the php script is executing. It seems like there is something wrong with the client-side code, but I can’t find a solution.

Can you tell me what am I doing wrong?

An Internal Server Error would indicate that there’s something wrong on the server side, not the client. Your PHP script isn’t understanding something that’s being sent to it. An easy way to debug these things is to actually run the PHP code from a web browser. Set up a real web form to upload the picture and debug the PHP that way. Once you have it working standalone, then integrate it with your Unity code.
