Question

so i want to have it set up so when the user uploads there video there email and product key code go with it so in the PHP i can create a new directory with there email. Then name the video as the product key code. I can upload the video fine if i remove the code trying to upload the string.

Android code:

try{
                FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(sourceFile);
                URL url = new URL(UploadVideo_URL);
                conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
                conn.setDoInput(true);
                conn.setDoOutput(true);
                conn.setUseCaches(false);
                conn.setRequestMethod("POST");

                conn.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Keep-Alive");
                conn.setRequestProperty("ENCTYPE", "multipart/form-data");
                conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data;boundary=" + boundary);
                conn.setRequestProperty("myFile", selectedPath);
                dos = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());




                dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + lineEnd);
                dos.writeBytes("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"" + ProductOwnerEmail + "\"" + lineEnd);
                dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);
                dos.write(ProductOwnerEmail.getBytes());
                dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);

                dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + lineEnd);
                dos.writeBytes("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"" + ProductKeyCode + "\"" + lineEnd);
                dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);
                dos.write(ProductOwnerEmail.getBytes());
                dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);





                dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + lineEnd);
                dos.writeBytes("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"myFile\";filename=\"" + selectedPath + "\"" + lineEnd);
                dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);


                bytesAvailable = fileInputStream.available();
                Log.i("Huzza", "Initial .available : " + bytesAvailable);

                bufferSize = Math.min(bytesAvailable, maxBufferSize);
                buffer = new byte[bufferSize];

                bytesRead = fileInputStream.read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);

                while (bytesRead > 0) {
                    dos.write(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
                    bytesAvailable = fileInputStream.available();
                    bufferSize = Math.min(bytesAvailable, maxBufferSize);
                    bytesRead = fileInputStream.read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
                }

                dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);
                dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + twoHyphens + lineEnd);

                serverResponseCode = conn.getResponseCode();

                fileInputStream.close();
                dos.flush();
                dos.close();

            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
                return "Product upload failed";
            }

PHP code:

<?php

$ProductOwnerEmail = $_POST['ProductOwnerEmail'];
$ProductKeyCode = $_POST['ProductKeyCode'];

$NewDirectory = "/var/www/html/ProductVideos/" . $ProductOwnerEmail;

mkdir($NewDirectory, 0777, true);


if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST'){
$file_name = $_FILES['myFile']['name'];
$file_size = $_FILES['myFile']['size'];
$file_type = $_FILES['myFile']['type'];
$temp_name = $_FILES['myFile']['tmp_name'];

$location = "/var/www/html/ProductVideos/$ProductOwnerEmail/" . $ProductKeyCode;

move_uploaded_file($temp_name, $location);
}
?>

If theres a different way to do it or theres nothing wrong please tell me! thank you!

try to use MultipartEntity with a List in witch you add what you want of text with the standard key value. an Example of a post methode Try to adapte it if you want. then call your post with the your parameters in an AsynchTask for example. take care using HttpClient. it was deprecated and replaced HTTpClientbuilder.

    // traitement 



nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair(Document, imagepath));
   nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair(TITLE, "toto"));
   nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair(NAME, value));
   nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair(FIRSTNAME, value1));
   nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair(DEscription, value3));

        public String post(String url, List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs) {
                    String result ="fail";
                    HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
                    HttpContext localContext = new BasicHttpContext();
                    HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
                    try {
                        MultipartEntity entity = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE, null, Charset.forName("UTF-8"));
                        for (int index = 0; index < nameValuePairs.size(); index++) {
                            if (nameValuePairs.get(index).getName().equalsIgnoreCase(Document)) {
            // If the key equals to "image", we use FileBody to transfer the data
                                entity.addPart(nameValuePairs.get(index).getName(), new FileBody(new File(nameValuePairs.get(index).getValue())));
                            } else {
                                Log.d(TAG, "getname:" + nameValuePairs.get(index).getName());
                                Log.d(TAG, "getvalue:" + nameValuePairs.get(index).getValue());
