get upload API to work
Hi Steviex2,

on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API_talk:Upload you share your problems with the upload API.

Currently I try to implement an upload in Javascript, and, as to expect, I'm not able to get it running. I get partly similar errors like you in PHP.

In a minimal example using some text (instead of the images I actually want this to work with) I get the "One of the parameters filekey, file, url, statuskey is required". You mention that "the api needs server var "$_FILES['filename']" and therefor a real form upload". Could you possibly explain what  is, so I could see if I find a Javascript equivalent?

In case I get an implementation running, I happily share it with you and others on the API_talk:upload. --Simulo (talk) 09:18, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

It's a PHP function for file uploads. http://php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php
