I am writing a php program to write a binary file (may be video or image files). I would like to make it as a web service and call it from another application like c#, mac etc.
My code is give below,
<?php
$fileChunk = $_POST["filechunk"];
$vodFolder = 'D:\\HYSA SVN\\Trunk\\workproducts\\source\\hysa_he\\web\\entertainment\\';
$vodFile = $vodFolder . "abcd.mov";
$fh = fopen($vodFile, 'ab');
flock ($fh, LOCK_EX);
$varsize = fwrite($fh, $fileChunk);
fclose($fh);
?>
But when I called the php web service from a c# code, the abcd.mov is creating in the location, but its size is only one kb. I suspects that, the writing in halted when a character ‘&’ found in the binary file. I read the php documentation and found that, fopen with binary mode ‘b’ will solve this issue? But it is not working. Can somebody help me ?
This is my c# code.
BinaryReader b = new BinaryReader(File.Open("d:\\image38kb.jpg", FileMode.Open));
int pos = 0;
int length = (int)b.BaseStream.Length;
byte[] bt = b.ReadBytes(length);
char[] ch = b.ReadChars(length);
HttpWebRequest request = null;
Uri uri = new Uri("http://d0327/streamtest.php");
request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
NetworkCredential obj = new NetworkCredential("shihab.kb",
"India456*", "tvm");
request.Proxy.Credentials = obj;
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
request.ContentLength = bt.Length;
using (Stream writeStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
UTF8Encoding encoding = new UTF8Encoding();
byte[] bytes = encoding.GetBytes("filechunk=");
byte[] rv = new byte[bytes.Length + bt.Length];
System.Buffer.BlockCopy(bytes, 0, rv, 0, bytes.Length);
System.Buffer.BlockCopy(bt, 0, rv, bytes.Length, bt.Length);
writeStream.Write(rv, 0, bt.Length);
}
string result = string.Empty;
using (
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
{
using (Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream())
{
using (StreamReader readStream = new StreamReader(responseStream, Encoding.UTF8))
{
result = readStream.ReadToEnd();
}
}
}
