Inappropriate?Try this code. It works. Paste it into a simple HTML file and open it in your browser. Remember that when uploading files, the enctype='multipart/form-data' is required.
<form>
<input name="api_key" type="hidden" value="api_key" />
<input name="ts" type="hidden" value="ts" />
<input name="hash" type="hidden" value="hash_for_above_ts" />
<input name="username" type="hidden" value="username" />
<input name="password" type="hidden" value="password" />
<input name="slideshow_title" type="hidden" value="Whatever title" />
<input name="slideshow_srcfile" type="file" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
In the form tag, use the following parameters:
action="http://www.slideshare.net/api/1/upload_slideshow"
method="post"
enctype='multipart/form-data' -

Inappropriate?Have you applied for an API key on Slideshare? From your code it seems you are not really passing the timestamp and hash at all! Apart from a username and password, you also need a secret key and shared secret.

Inappropriate?ya i have applied for the key.
i m also having the secret key...i am concatinating it with ts(unix time).and sending it... i am calculating unix time(ts)...and hashing it with secret key to get (hash)...
hash=secret+ts.
