I'm using Luracast's Restler Framework which is great. But I was wondering if someone could tell me how I can upload files through HTTP.

I was using a simple HTML Form to POST data to the API, and trying to grabe the file information from $_FILES, but i'm not getting anything.

Here is my super simple form

    <form method="post" action="index.php/product"> 
    <p> 
        <label>Product name</label>
        <input name="product_name" /> 
    </p>

    <p> 
        <label>MSRP Price</label>
        <input name="msrp_price" /> 

    </p>


    <p> 
        <label>Category</label>
        <input name="category_name" /> 
    </p>


    <p>Teir Pricing</p>


    <p>
    <label>Price</label>
    <input name="price[]" />
    </p>


    <p>
    <label>Buy Range Min</label>
    <input name开发者_StackOverflow社区="buy_range_min[]" />
    </p>

    <p>
    <label>Buy Range Max</label>
    <input name="buy_range_max[]" />

    <p>
    <label>Price</label>
    <input name="price[]" />
    </p>

    <p>
    <label>Buy Range Min</label>
    <input name="buy_range_min[]" />
    </p>

    <p>
    <label>Buy Range Max</label>
    <input name="buy_range_max[]" />
    </p>


   <p> 
    <label>Image</label>
    <input type="file" name="image" /> 
   </p> 

    <input type="submit" /> 

</form>

Here is my class that works with Restler

You can only upload files if the form data is sent as multipart/form-data. The default is application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

From the specification:

 <FORM action="http://server.com/cgi/handle"
       enctype="multipart/form-data"
       method="post">
