Question

I’m now saving the snapshot this way:

            vidBmpHolder.draw(main.media.videoLocal);
            var jpgEncoder:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder(85);
            var jpgStream:ByteArray = jpgEncoder.encode(vidBmpHolder);
            var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
            var header:URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/octet-stream");
            var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://domain.name/savesnapshot.php");
            request.requestHeaders.push(header);
            request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
            request.data = jpgStream;
            loader.load(request);

But I want to save additional information :

key=value

Is there a work around?

Answer 1

You can try to add the key value pair at the url, for instance:

new URLRequest("http://domain.name/savesnapshot.php?filename=image1.jpg");

and then, on the php side:

$file_name = $_GET['filename'];

EDIT: Added server side php script.

<?php

$file_name = "image.jpg";

//here you access your file name passed in the url.
if( isset( $_GET["filename"] ) ) $file_name = $_GET["filename"];

$file = fopen($file_name, "w+") or die("Can't open file");

//here you access the bytearray data send form flash
$image_bytes = $GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"];

//create the image file
$fwrite = fwrite( $file, $image_bytes );

if ($fwrite === false) echo "Error writing to file: ".$file_name;

fclose($file);

?>
