Image upload via form on php script

    I’m using a simple XMLRPC form to create new posts for a real estate website, so people from there would be able to quickly and easily add new posts.
    Everything went ok, even the custom fields, now I just need a way to send images to the wordpress media library and get the link from the uploaded image in a custom field. But I couldn’t figure out this part.
    Is there a way to do it?

    Any help will be appreciated.

  • Maybe this post will help? It uses the Settings API (which everybody should be using anyway).

    Thanks but I already found this code, and it worked fine to upload the images:

    $rpcurl='https://www.geeklab.info/xmlrpc.php';
$username='admin';
$password='your-password';
$blogid=1; //Post ID

$file=file_get_contents('file.jpg');
$filetype = "image/jpeg";
$filename = "remote_filename.jpg";

xmlrpc_set_type($file,'base64'); // <-- required!
$params = array($blogid,$username,$password,
            array('name'=>$filename,'type'=>$filetype,'bits'=>$file,'overwrite'=>false));
$request = xmlrpc_encode_request('wp.uploadFile',$params);

$result = go($request,$rpcurl);
print_r($result);

function go($request,$rpcurl){
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,1);
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$rpcurl);
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$request );
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
    $result = curl_exec($ch);
}

    now I just need to get the url from the uploaded file in wordpress’ “media-library”.
