Based on the recommendations of a previous post I'm trying to use [Android: Uploading image on server with php](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12789703/android-uploading-image-on-server-with-php) however I get a file not found exception.

Here's my function as described in the post above. My input for these are:

Gallery: uploadFile: `Source File not exist :content://media/external/images/media/342`
Photo: uploadFile: `Source File not exist: file:///storage/emulated/0/MyDir/blah`

These uri's are derived from the intent a lanched to catputre/select them. Any ideas why I get a `File Not Found` exception?
