Getting image file into body parameter

Question

I am trying to upload file to server. I am using SlimFramework and PHP in my backend code and it is in RESTful form. Image uploading works very well if I upload it through Postman however I am not able to get it to work using Swift and Alamofire library. In the route I have in backend, I get the file like this, from body parameter: `$image = $request->getUploadedFiles();` and to upload I use the: `$image->moveTo("myPath");` In Swift I have router, which gives `.post` method and the route URL and I tried like this: ``` func uploadImage(user_id: Int, image: Data, completion: @escaping (_ error: Error?, _ success: Bool)->Void) { let parameters = [ "user_id": user_id, "newFile": image ] as [String : Any] Alamofire.request(Router.imageUplaod(parameters: parameters)) .validate(statusCode: 200..<300) .responseJSON { response in switch response.result{ case .failure(let error): completion(error, false) print(error) case .success(let value): //Registered sucesfully! let json = JSON(value) comp…

I solved the problem. I rebuilt it that way:

- Convert image to Base64 String on client

- Decode it to image on backend

- Upload it

So in Swift I Convert it like this:

```
let chosenProfileImage = info[UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage] as! UIImage
let imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(chosenProfileImage, 0.2)
profileImageView.image = chosenProfileImage

let base64String = imageData?.base64EncodedString(options: .lineLength64Characters)
```

And backend is pretty much same, just converted it back to file using `base64_decode();` and used `file_put_contents();` function to move it to server.
