I am attempting to POST several pictures along with text data to my PHP page and then into mySQL database but I am getting a 400 error response and i am unable to post anything.
I am able to POST only data or only pictures, but not both together.
It seems I am not setting up the POST correctly.
I need to post many pictures but was just trying to get one rolling for now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
