Question

I have a flash code which capture an image. Here is code:

<object id="main" width="300" height="400" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="main" data="<?php echo JS_PATH;?>bin-debug/dev.swf">
    <param name="quality" value="high">
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff">
    <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="sameDomain">
    <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true">
    <param name="flashvars" value="<?php echo HTTP_PATH.DS?>user/changeprofilepic_byweb">
</object>

in the above code:

 <param name="flashvars" value="<?php echo HTTP_PATH.DS?>user/changeprofilepic_byweb">

the value parameter contains the path of controller which function changeprofielpic_byweb contains the code for update the profiel image. I am not able to update the image. Where am I going wrong? Is my flash code is right? My flash code is working fine and it capture image but it is not storing in to the database. Here is the code of controller:

 function changeprofilepic_byweb() 
    {
         echo "<script> alert('In to the function'); </script>";
        $sess_data = $this->session->userdata('logged_in');
        $this->load->library('photoslibrary');
        $this->load->Model('usersocialprofile');
        $upload_path = COMM_USER_IMAGE_PATH.$sess_data['user_id']; 

        if(!is_dir($upload_path)) 
        {
            umask(0);
            @mkdir($upload_path,077);
        }

        $db_userprofile = $this->usersocialprofile->getThumb($sess_data['user_id']);


        if(is_file(COMM_USER_IMAGE_PATH.$sess_data['user_id'].DS.$db_userprofile[0]->imageTitle)) 
        {
            $this->usersocialprofile->unlinkImage($db_userprofile[0],PROFILE_IMAGE_THUMB);

        }

        $this->load->helper("Image");
        $fileImage="";
        $data['error']="";


        $fileext='jpeg';    
        $timestamp=md5(time());
        $filename="photo".$timestamp.".".$fileext;

        $filesize = floatval((filesize($filename)/1024)/1024); // bytes to MB  
        list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize($filename);

        $req_size=explode(",",PROFILE_IMAGE_THUMB);
        $req_size=explode("x",$req_size[0]);

        if($width<$req_size[0] || $height<$req_size[1])
        {
            $data['error']="Image required minimum ".$req_size[0]."x".$req_size[1]." pixels";
        }else {

            $data['error']="";
            $newthumb_path = "thumb".DS;

        if(!is_dir($newthumb_path))  {
            umask(0);
            @mkdir($newthumb_path,0777);
        }                

        $fileImage=imageresize($filename,$filetempname,PROFILE_IMAGE_THUMB,$upload_path.DS,false,true,true,$newthumb_path);
        $result=$this->usersocialprofile->updateImage($sess_data['user_id'] , $fileImage);
        }
    }

i think the function is not calling by flash code.i am not getting any error.just the captured image is showing but not updating in folder.

For uploading the image using web cam you just have to create the image and get the values of variables which are set to the flash code.and at the time of getting the image ,you just have to create the image insted of using any get or post method.something like that:

    $fileext='jpeg';    
    $timestamp=md5(time());
    $filename="photo".$timestamp.".".$fileext;
