Question

How can I save image with PHP which was uploaded with http post using FLASH?

To upload to i’m PHP using this:

            var upload_to:*=new flash.net.URLRequest("url");
            fileHandler.upload(upload_to);

And when I print $_FILES in PHP I get:

           {"Filedata":{"name":"IMG_8​658 copy44.jpg","type":"applic​ation\/octet-            stream","tmp_​name":"C:\\WINDOWS\\Temp\\​php35.tmp","error":0,"size​":183174}}

so the question is, how to form a file from that $_FILES variable?: ) Thanks

Answer 1

PHP doesn’t store the file in memory. It’s written out to a temporary file, which you can retrieve the name/path of from the tmp_name value (C:\WINDOWS…). The name field is the filename as provided by the client (IMG_8658…);

In your case, that’d be

$_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'] <-- location of temporary file
$_FILES['Filedata']['name'] <---original filename
$_FILES['Filedata']['size'] <--- size in bytes
$_FILES['Filedata']['type'] <-- mime type, as provided by the uploader
$_FILES['Filedata']['error'] <--- error code of upload operation (0 = a-ok)
