You should ask these questions on a different list, like mediawiki-l or wikitech-l. This list is about the bot API.

Are you expecting to give the api the filename on your computer and get it uploaded? It could only work if the file was on the same computer as the wiki. The api doesn't support that, that is done with maintenance\importImages.php script.
Yes right, I wan to give the filename on my comp to uplad the file on wiki server through API So there is no any other way to upload images remotely?

The data has to be sent over the wire. When using Special:Upload you only provide the filename and your browser sends its contents. With the api, whatever program that is using the api has to do it.
ahh ok..
I am trying to upload it using action=upload using api,php Is it possible?

You'll have to tell us exactly how it "didn't work". Did you get error messages? What did they say?

I read in some post that Image uploading is not possible in the version 1.15.1 through API is it true?

Hi,
Except from the issue that Platonides mentioned, there is something else wrong with your postdata

This is urlencoded data.
fputs($fp, "Content-type: multipart/form-data \r\n");
You specify multipart/form-data. When you specify that you send multipart/form-data, it's not going to work if you send urlencoded data. You need to send the data in the encoding that you specify; you can't expect it to work otherwise.

Thanx Bryan and Platonides for the reply
