upload images and texts to server

For uploading images to the server you need the following code:

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.xyz.com/UploadImage.php"];
ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];
request.requestMethod = @"POST";
NSString *fileName = @"iphone.jpg";
[request addPostValue:fileName forKey:@"name"];

// Upload an image
UIImage *img = [UIImage imageNamed:fileName];
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(img, 90);
[request setData:imageData withFileName:fileName andContentType:@"image/jpeg" forKey:@"image"];
[request setDelegate:self]; 
[request startAsynchronous];

For sending text to the server, you just need to append the text with the POST method like:

[request appendPostData:[@"This is my data" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

How to convert image into binary format in iOS?

You can use the CoreGraphics' method UIImagePNGRepresentation(UIImage *image), which returns NSData and save it. and if you want to convert it into again UIImage create it using [UIimage imageWithData:(NSData *data)] method.

- (void)sendImageToServer {
       UIImage *yourImage= [UIImage imageNamed:@"image.png"];
       NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(yourImage);
       NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [imageData length]];

       // Init the URLRequest
       NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];
       [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
       [request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithString:@"http://yoururl.domain"]]];
       [request setValue:@"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
       [request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];
       [request setHTTPBody:imageData];

       NSURLConnection *connection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
       if (connection) {
          // response data of the request
       }
       [request release];
 }

iphone SDK : Upload image from iphone to a php Server send empty file ?(sample code link inside)

use HTTP multipart POST or ASIHTTPRequest

@WebberLai

Save the image to home directory:
 NSString  *jpgPath = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents/image.jpg"];
    UIImage *img = pickerImage;


// Write a UIImage to JPEG with minimum compression (best quality) 
    [UIImageJPEGRepresentation(img, 0.5) writeToFile:jpgPath atomically:YES];

    NSString *photoPath = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents/image.jpg"];

    request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:webServiceUrl];
    [request setPostValue:requestString forKey:@"data"];
    [request setFile:photoPath forKey:@"apiupload"];
    [request startSynchronous];

Upload image to PHP web server from iOS

You can use AFNetworking framework (https://github.com/AFNetworking/AFNetworking), it will save a lot of time for you and there are some examples how to upload images and handle responses.

Here is an example of file upload from the source mentioned above:

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://api-base-url.com"];
AFHTTPClient *httpClient = [[AFHTTPClient alloc] initWithBaseURL:url];
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation([UIImage imageNamed:@"avatar.jpg"], 0.5);
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [httpClient multipartFormRequestWithMethod:@"POST" path:@"/upload" parameters:nil constructingBodyWithBlock: ^(id <AFMultipartFormData>formData) {
    [formData appendPartWithFileData:imageData name:@"avatar" fileName:@"avatar.jpg" mimeType:@"image/jpeg"];
}];

AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request];
[operation setUploadProgressBlock:^(NSUInteger bytesWritten, long long totalBytesWritten, long long totalBytesExpectedToWrite) {
    NSLog(@"Sent %lld of %lld bytes", totalBytesWritten, totalBytesExpectedToWrite);
}];
[httpClient enqueueHTTPRequestOperation:operation];
