FileUpload in C# with PHP Server

Question

I am currently working on a fileUploader in the C# language for a image hosting site I develop for, I am currently wondering what the best approach is to uploading files to the server(all php/sql) with the client software being C#.

Also, how would I process these uploads in a PHP script, would you say something along the lines of:

upload.php?appfile=filepath?

Thanks,

You can use the WebClient Class and its UploadFile Method:

using (var wc = new WebClient())
{
    wc.UploadFile("http://www.example.com/upload.php", "somefile.dat");
}

The UploadFile Method uses the POST method to upload the file to the HTTP resource; you need to set up your PHP script accordingly.

Hello there, thank you for that! Considering it uses POST, what will it post as? Regards

The method uploads the files in "multipart/form-data" format. You should be able to access them using $_FILES; see POST method uploads.
