My problem is that I cannot upload post attachments from a frontend form. I send data through AJAX to my php files containing functions. Let me be clear: everything is working great, the post is created with all informations. The only missing thing is that the images I sent are not attached to the post.
My problem should be in my php function to attach images.
My html
<input id="moreimages" type="file" name="moreimages[]" multiple >
My php function
$pid = // project id
$uid = // current user
if ( $_FILES ) {
$files = $_FILES["moreimages"];
foreach ($files['name'] as $key => $value) {
if ($files['name'][$key]) {
$upload_overrides = array('test_form' => false);
$uploaded_file = wp_handle_upload($_FILES['file'], $upload_overrides);
$file_name_and_location = $uploaded_file['file'];
$file_title_for_media_library = $_FILES['file']['name'];
$arr_file_type = wp_check_filetype(basename($_FILES['file']['name']));
$uploaded_file_type = $arr_file_type['type'];
$image = array(
'post_mime_type' => $uploaded_file_type,
'post_title' => addslashes($file_title_for_media_library),
'post_content' => '',
'post_status' => 'inherit',
'post_parent' => $pid,
'post_author' => $uid
);
$_FILES = array ("moreimages" => $image);
foreach ($_FILES as $images => $array) {
$image_id = wp_insert_attachment($image, $file_name_and_location, $pid);
$attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata($image_id, $file_name_and_location);
wp_update_attachment_metadata($image_id, $attach_data);
}
}
}
}
I repeat I see in my console.log that images are correctly sent by AJAX into FormData object. I see this when I upload FIRST.jpg.
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="moreimages[]"; filename="FIRST.jpg"
Content-Type: image/jpeg
So the problem should be in the php loop for attaching images. Could you help me please? Thanks in advance!
foreachloop.
