Would greatly value any working example that anyone might provide on
how to upload files from client (lazarus desktop application) to
server (Apache).

Member GetMem provided an example a couple of years back in the
following post:

https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,44795.msg410118.h
tml#msg410118

But I have not been able to get this to work. Despite many available
examples I have not been able to get any to work. Most examples tend
to presume implicit knowledge which makes
comprehending/testing/debugging extra difficult. I have little to no
expertise in server side development.

Here is the scenario:

I have an Apache server set up with a var/www/mydomain/

Within that I have a folder named: test/ to store the uploaded files
from the client.

I have appended the hosts file to point to mydomain and tested it. So
for instance http://mydomain/index.html works.

I would need some PHP script named for instance upload.php to handle
the upload. The script can be placed in var/www/mydomain/upload.php

I would prefer to use fphttpclient or synapse.

Any ideas/examples? Questions, comments?

Would really appreciate the input.

Many thanks.
