Answer 1

Read the PHP documentation.

Your PHP code is using $_FILES , which expects the client to post an HTML webform in MIME multipart/form-data format:

Handling file uploads > POST method uploads

PHP is capable of receiving file uploads from any RFC-1867 compliant browser.

RFC 1867 Form-based File Upload in HTML

But that format is not what your application is actually posting, though. It is simply posting the raw file content as-is with no MIME metadata to describe the file. That is why your PHP code is not working.

To post a multipart/form-data HTML webform using TIdHTTP.Post() , you have to use the TIdMultipartFormDataStream class, eg:

uses
  ..., IdHTTP, IdMultipartFormDataStream;

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  PostData: TIdMultipartFormDataStream;
begin
  PostData := TIdMultipartFormDataStream.Create;
  try
    PostData.AddFile('file', 'C:\Users\Someone\Desktop\log.txt');
    idhttp1.Post('http://127.0.0.1/GET2.php', PostData)
  finally
    PostData.Free;
  end;
end;

Alternatively, PHP also supports HTTP PUT requests for file uploads:

Handling file uploads > PUT method support

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  FS: TFileStream;
begin
  FS := TFileStream.Create('C:\Users\Someone\Desktop\log.txt', fmOpenRead or fmShareDenyWrite);
  try
    idhttp1.Put('http://127.0.0.1/log.txt', FS);
  finally
    FS.Free;
  end;
end;

<?php
/* PUT data comes in on the stdin stream */
$putdata = fopen("php://input", "r");

/* Open a file for writing */
$fp = fopen("log.txt", "w");

/* Read the data 1 KB at a time
   and write to the file */
while ($data = fread($putdata, 1024))
  fwrite($fp, $data);

/* Close the streams */
fclose($fp);
fclose($putdata);
?>
