I am trying to automate uploading images (or files).  We are currently using mediaWiki version 1.13.2.

I am using the following code:            $data=array( 'wpIgnoreWarning'=>'1',                'wpDestFile'=>="$bulkImageDirectory/$fname",                'wpReUpload'=>'1',                'wpUpload'=>'1',                'wpUploadFile'=>$fname,            );            $webrequest=new FauxRequest( $data, true );            $uploader=new UploadForm( $webrequest );            $uploader->mUploadSize=$zipfile['size'];            $uploader->mUploadTempName="$bulkImageDirectory/$fname";            $uploader->mOname=$fname;            $uploader->mSessionKey='1';                        $uploader->processUpload();

$fname is a relative file name, while ="$bulkImageDirectory/$fname" is the absolute file name.  The file is located in wiki/images/tmp/bulkImages/.

I receive the error: "The file you uploaded seems to be empty. This might be due to a typo in the file name. Please check whether you really want to upload this file." And the upload form displays on the screen with wpDestFile filled in.

Three questions: Do you know what the problem is?

Yes, you need to set mFileSize (not mUploadSize, there's no such thing) and mSrcName (not sure what to, offhand...). I'd suggest taking a look at internalProcessUpload() and its various return states for more info.

Is there another way to automatically upload a file within an extension?

What you're doing is the only way (right now) to really do this. It sucks, yes. Hopefully the new-upload branch will make this sort of thing easier and less prone to error.

Is there documentation on this?

Not really :\

You can use the image import maintenance script. It's convenient.
