For my A-Level project, I have to use VB and I am not proud of it.

Anyway, I know how to upload a file to a PHP script to store files to a webserver, and the PHP script generates a unique file name. I want to then use the response from the PHP script with VB, sort of like reading the response. My codes are:

Visual Basic:

VB

Sub uploadfile()
    For Each fPath In FilePath
        My.Computer.Network.UploadFile(fPath, "http://mydomain.com/upload.php")
        MsgBox(fPath)
    Next

End Sub

PHP:

PHP

<?php
$temp = explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
$extension = end($temp);
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0){
    echo "Error";
}else{
    $newfile = uniqid("image_").".".$extension;
    move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "Images/" . $newfile);
}
?>

I eventually found a solution myself, here is the code:

VB

For Each fPath In FilePath
            Dim client As New WebClient()
            Dim responseBinary As Byte()
            responseBinary = client.UploadFile("http://mydomain.com/Upload.php", fPath)
            Dim response As String
            response = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(responseBinary)
            MsgBox(response)
Next
