How to recieve image in a php server from an iphone

Question

I want to send a picture of my app to a web server. The problem is that I'm new to web services.

My app sends (via POST) an image as nsdata using json, but I don't have a clue how to convert this "nsdata" to a png or jpeg image using json on a php webservice. Does this have to do with base64?

Answer 1

I just send a request to the image path, works great.

[[UIImage alloc] initWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlPath]]];

this is the lazy way cause you'll pause the main thread with this request but if you do it in a secondary thread is fine I suppose. The right way is to use the NSURLConnectionDelegate
