PHP Image Uploader

This is a simple and lightweight image uploader, that you can use to build a bigger project with. The uploader is a simple PHP file that saves an image from a POST request to a folder and sends you the URL to access the image.

All images / Files are going to embed in applications like Discord/WhatsApp.

Setup:

1. Copy the upload.php file and upload it to your web server. (Example: /var/www/website/upload.php)

2. Customize the script:

   • Line 3: Exchange YOUR_UPLOAD_SECRET with your upload secret (for example random generated string e.g. of 20 characters).

   • Line 4: Exchange the upload host with the domain of the upload script (e.g. http://yourdomain.com/upload.php)

   • Line 5: Optional: Add a redirect URL, that you get redirected to, in case someone calls the website without an image uploader.

3. Run the ShareX.sxcu-File (if you want to use ShareX) or the ShareNix.json-File (if you want to use ShareNix) from the repository, and customize the custom uploader settings to fit your configuration of the upload.php-Script.

   • k = upload secret

   • Request URL = API URL (e.g. http://yourdomain.com/upload.php)

   • Optional: d = file name

4. Upload images by using ShareX or ShareNix!

Troubleshooting

Some errors you may encounter:

Error 404

Make sure you actually call the php script, and not some other website. Make sure your Apache/nginx server is running.

Sorry, your file could not be uploaded.

Make sure you have PHP 7.4 installed & that the service is running (systemctl status php7.4-fpm).

Make sure your PHP script has permissions to create files (sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www)`
